Welcome!

Hi Friends,
It´s so great to have a chance to keep in contact with you. Again and again, Daniel and I have been telling our friends that even though we live overseas and no longer do Sunday school in New York, we still have missionary hearts. The purpose of this blog is to give you a glimpse into our hearts, our ministry, and of course, the ways you can join us in prayer.
Wow, it´s hard to believe that Daniel and I share the same blog! For the past few years, we have been individually updating our friends and family (mine in English, and his in German) on the adventures of New York. Well, it looks like we´re starting this next adventure together--the adventure of newly married life, adjusting to a new culture and language (Michelle), and ministering to the German/immigrant community. We´re both so excited that we can serve God together...and honored to have you with us on our journey.
Before we jump ahead of ourselves, let me just talk about these pictures from March 12th 2010. These mark the first day of our lives together. It really was an amazing day--our families were there with many of our friends, everything ran smoothly,and we still got great pictures despite the rain showers. Looking back, Daniel and I wouldn´t change anything. It was absolutely amazing.
Since the day we became husband and wife, we spent 10 days in Hawaii, 2 days in San Fransisco, and then proceeded to Germany. For the past (almost) two months, we´ve been setting up our apartment, enrolling in language school (Michelle), applying for college (Daniel), researching health insurance, finding an internet provider....you know, all the things you need to do to set up a household.
We´ve also been really involved in church. Our church here is great, and we work with a woman from the church who organizes outreaches to the elderly, drug addicts, teens, immigrant kids, taxi drivers, etc. Daniel and I are both involved in the Tuesday night teen outreach, as well as the program for immigrant kids. We greatly anticipate what God will do with our Metro Ministries training here in Germany. We even have dreams to start a Sidewalk Sunday School here in our local neighborhood.
It´s cool to think that we came to Germany because of it´s low college tuition, but God can still use us here to evangelize. That´s definitely our prayer.
