Summer in Hurlach

Ulf's Opa is a very good wood carver (Whittler) and has made many pieces over the years. As a boy Ulf was always interested in trying it, but it never happened, until now! Ulf's Opa has shown him how to whittle - carve - and Ulf has finished his first piece - a kangaroo!

On Sunday, 12th July we drove about 7 hours south to Hurlach, our old home town.

God provided an amazing place for us to stay in while we were there (an apartment), and blessed us very much through the owner who lives downstairs. We had good times of worship and prayer together and God spoke many things to us. It was refreshing!

It was great for Em to see Nancy and her family and spend time with them - baking Poppyseed cake, going swimming and just hanging out together.

While we were there, we also picked up all of our things that we had stored in Sokol's basement! We drove back with a very full car on Friday 17th. Now we have the job of sorting through everything and storing it in Ulf's parent's attic.



Our little trip to Hurlach was a blessing to us.

Howdy precious people,
Its been great to read your blog as here of your wonderful adventure. I'm waiting to see an entry about Paris??? Life here remains somewhat the same but everything is growing. (The kids, relationships, elishacare and more) Emma you'll be pleased to know that i'm not growing (in size that is)I've been able to shed 7.2kg so far. You mighten even recognise me when you return. Ha ha. Danny had an awesome time in Arnemland. Many exciting adventures to share but i'll let him do that. We are in the midst of planning another camp down torquay which is always exciting. danny and I have been really excited about the way God is moving in Jasons life (you guys meet him before you went away) so remember him as you pray. We miss seeing you guys around but really pray that this trip will be more than you expected. Safe travels to you both and look forward to hearing more. Bless you guys

Love Brooke
