It is only mid-October and it has snowed! It snowed most of the day yesterday, and is reported to keep snowing off and on through next week. What a wonderful "Welcome Home" to Gabe and Toni, who return from Africa tomorrow :-)
I am (understandably) very excited for tomorrow evening to roll around-I am headed to Löbau to pick Gabe up around 8! The month has gone by quickly and there has been good work and connections for both of us, but I am definitely ready to spend the next months in the same place.
My job in the office at the base has been going well. I am trying to be proactive in a lull, knowing that things will get crazier when we try to organize various teams that will include nearly 100 people... it's nice now to have the freedom to help out in preparing our morning coffee break, organizing files and updating information, and trying to streamline the processes we have so that things run more smoothly. I also have that extra bit of time that I can spend wedding planning when I need to :-)
Gabe and I fly to WA on 1 December!!!! That's only 6 weeks away!!!!

Looking for a Flat..
Yesterday my wonderful flat mate, Jardena, assisted me by calling about two available flats, here in Herrnhut. We were actually able to see a 3 room apt. which is too large and expensive for a newlywed couple -- but perfect for Jardena and the other staff girls who are looking for an alternative to base housing.
So, on Saturday, Jardena and I will go see a studio apartment, and I have two prayer requests concerning this.
1) That I would know if it is the right place and the right time. I don't know what will be available later in the year, but Gabe and I would like to have our flat worked out before we come back to the states.
2) That I would have the finances. The landlord (as with most German landlords) would like proof that I will have the rent money I need each month. The rent for the studio is 270 Euro (or more depending on heat/water...) which is almost $400. Additionally, we will have to furnish our kitchen-counters, sink, stove, fridge...
I don't have the support I need monthly even to pay that rent. I strongly desire to be faithful in my responsibilities and commitments, but I can't do it without your help.
If you can commit to supporting me with any portion of the $1000 (total) I need a month, please let me know! I would love to have you as a part of my ministry.
