Hello Everyone!
I made it to Germany, safe and sound. Almost missed my flight but it was only a close call. I met a group from Texas: Bishop Sutton, Esther Sutton, Austin Sutton, Patrick Sheehan, Mandy Mullarkey, Tera Deupree and Warner Heissenhuber who were accompanied by Bishop Meyer and Martin, a man from Schwazenborn that assists him. We arrived around 9:30 AM.
Bishop Meyer is his usual self (going, going, going) and we began doing things as soon as we left the airport: we went to a town on the Rhine River and got food, shopped and toured. Then, we took a 2 hour ride down the Rhine on a ferry. It was beautiful, though many of us laid our heads on the table and went sound to sleep.We arrived at the Knuell Camp around 7 last evening and met Grace. Gabby (the camp cook) had a hot meal waiting for us. After hanging out for a bit, we hit the sack.
Today we had a meeting over the plans for camp and began working on the songbook. It has been rather laid back as we all recover from jet lag. I was able to go jogging through the countryside which was absolutely beautiful as I continue to train for the race in the fall. This evening we were dropped off in the town that sits down the hill from camp and went to a pizzeria - so yummy! Then we were able to soak up some more secenery as we walked back and enjoyed the sunset. Tomorrow should be a full day of preparation after Morning Prayer.
Dear Elyse! i am glad to hear that you are there safe and sound and already having an amazing time! :) I am praying for you. Give Gerhard and Grace my best.
ReplyDeleteLove ya,

Joni they have both asked about you - I think they miss you! I have updated them both on how you are doing and Grace just sighed when I told her you are working two jobs. :). Thank you for your prayers - I love and miss you!
ReplyDeleteElyse: I am one of the intercessory prayer warriors on the KOGFM Facebook page. Please let me know if there's anything specific I can be praying for you while you and the others are there in Germany. Bishop Sutton and his daughter, Esther, are wonderful people. I was just with them last week at the Anglican Way Institute conference in Dallas. Fabulous time! I'm so glad you have an opportunity to work with them! Blessings to you in Christ Jesus our Lord - Nancy Jones, Church of the Holy Trinity (Houston) - REC, Diocese of Mid America
ReplyDeleteNancy, so good to hear from you! Yes, I am actually an intercessor for KOGFM as well! Thank you for your prayers - I listed several in my latest post. I have enjoyed getting to know Bp. Sutton and Esther - they truly are wonderful! Esther has been such a huge blessing in getting the songbook together. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself at the AWI - I went one year and loved it. I hope to return again sometime. May you be blessed as well, thank you again, Elyse. (Christ Our Hope Anglican Missionary Parish, Dayton OH)
