Back from Scottland

Happy New Year everyone!
Do you know what Hogmanay is? No? So do we. Even after spending 8 days in the UK we honestly still don’t know, but they say it has something to do with New Year. Probably something pagan.
Anyhow, we are now back from the UK after spending a week with our friends there. We had an awesome time together with Andrew and Debbie Jones, precious people who are such an encouragement to many many others. They encourage Kingdom movement. Plus, the roast beef was incredible! We danced Scottish, drove about 1600 miles in 7 days, got to see the beautiful landscapes of Scotland, stayed in a cold hotel (- 11 C, the hotel didn’t expect guests so they had had the heater and hot water turned off) drove down south to Reading where we used to live 12 years ago and joined the New Year’s party at Bob and Katie Smart’s place.
Bob is probably the UKs best salesman. It was so good to see every one of them there. Jan our eldest son got to make pictures of the nursery where he used to go when he was 4 and Ben got to see the old house where we used to live before he was born. After that we went to visit Cliff and Monica Hill, a prophetic couple who is in big demand nowadays that the economy has been hit and now all of a sudden everyone is asking spiritual questions. Anyway, they had prepared a big dinner for our bodies and refreshing talk for our souls. It was altogether a relaxing time for us and we are glad to be together again as a whole family now. During this time, Eric our 2nd son was snowboarding with his friend Michael and his family in Austria and Wolf’s mother was taken care of by the nursery home here in town.
We are gradually getting back to our normal life again. I am recovering from the cold that I caught in that ice cold hotel and Wolf still has his cough from his last trip to Turkey. The children have another week of winter break and Wolf has some travels coming up this month. He is gonna be 50 on the 8th of January!!!

Remembering to pray a line or two for you all whenever I use Debbie’s comfort mug.
