Just a quick update on both the bank situation and what’s happening in “House Nazareth”:

The wheels in the bank move mighty slowly, but everyone involved on the other side of things seems to be OK with this. Matthias has an important appointment tomorrow with the credit representative here at the Berlin branch who is processing our application. Please pray that we can have a green light by Friday to begin the renovation work.

I’ve been working many hours a day with a team of helpers here that are working to help us clear out the old furniture, rugs, etc. that we don’t need from thethings the sisters left for us.

(Yes, I’m sore in a lot of places I forgot I had!)

Ann and Charissa fly on Thursday along with Davin (Charissa’s boyfriend, who is coming to help us for 6 weeks and work on his German! Yeah!)

I can hardly wait to see them! It’s difficult for me not to be there to help! There are a thousand business and other things to do IN ADDITION to packing. Please pray for them to be able to finish things up tomorrow in Boise and have a good and positive departure; I’m especially concerned that the stress level go down for Ann. She’s been working immense hours just to get everything wrapped up at home AND pack for the trip.
