Things Are Great in Peine

We just wanted to let you know how great things are going here in Peine!

We had our information meetings yesterday. They only had 4 people call in response to the ads, so we weren’t sure how many would come. We had to set up more chairs to accommodate everyone. Oh, we of little faith! We signed up 16 people at the meeting, and are up to 19 readers now. Candy went to a school today and talked in a couple of classes. We also handed out cards to all of our readers to give to their friends, so we are confident we will have even more readers in the next few days.

We had our first full day of reading today. It was fantastic! Kelsey and I had a combined total of 7 readers today. Even Ezra had a “reader.” One of my readers has a 6-year old son who has been learning English, so he comes and practices with Ezra during our session. He’s feeling like pretty hot stuff.

The church here is really active. It seems like there’s always something going on here at the building. They are all very excited about the number of readers we have and are actively getting to know them already. Several came to the information meeting because they were so excited to meet the new readers.

We love the city. The part we are in is small and quiet. There’s a great downtown area that we have driven by, but haven’t had the chance to visit yet. Lots of outdoor cafes and beautiful old buildings.

Thanks for all of your prayers. Pray for Kaylen. She turns 3 at the end of our trip, but we need it to happen now!
