Hey everyone - just a quick note to let you know we will begin our journey to Madison in a few short hours. It is currently 12:38am in Germany (5:38pm in Madison) and leave our quaint debrief village on the Rhine around 5am, drive 40 min back to Frankfurt, and depart our connecting flights (after a 1-day layover here) to Dusseldorf and O'hare at 8:55am. After a two hour layover in Dusseldorf, we should be back to O'hare by 2pm and in Madison by 6pm.
I can't enough about how amazing our last few days in Craiova were with our beloved Romanian brothers and sisters. We found Bacharach to be the ideal the setting for a debrief experience. In addition to being in a beautiful little village (oldest houses dating back to the 1300's and a church that was first built in 1100), we found so many great places (castles, mountaintops, vineyards, and cobblestone villages) to process, share, pray, and prepare ourselves for our return to the States. Even though we've only been here just over 24 hours, we feel God has blessed us with a significant opportunity here.
We'll do our very best to have someone write up a better account in Frankfurt tomorrow AM. We're sorry we didn't post more while here, but we were without wifi and didn't have much time either. We are SO THANKFUL for your prayers, support, and love for us. It is clearly felt though we are thousands of miles away. See you soon!
-Lief for the team (now finally to hit the hay! - Noapte Buna, Schalfen Sie Gut!)
Glad to hear debrief was significant! Safe travels! Everyone is eager to give you hugs and hear lots of stories. Best of luck bracing yourself for re-entry.
ReplyDeleteWow! Just read this now... my grammar was terrible!!! Haha... I was alone sitting in our car on a narrow cobblestone road in tiny Bacharach at 1am stealing some free wifi. The few ppl I saw were really curious about what I was doing out there!! Please forgive my poor English. Just pretend it is because I've been speaking Romanian & Deutsch for the past two weeks! OK- boarding our flight to Dusseldorf. We'll post from there.
