Because I have caught a cold, I had to spend the day in bed. And so I used the time to bring my mailbox in order and to write some mails while liing in bed. And I also read through the blog of a friend of mine. And it became so clear that God can really use such blogs. There always was something that spoke to me or made me think.
Of course many posts are only interesting if you know the person very well and understand the insider-jokes, but I realized, God writes history with each and everyone of us and he wants to use us to encourage or speak to others.
Even you and me!
Sometimes hard to believe, but nonetheless very true!

Saying-Goodbye-Sox
This post is written by a sad Wolfie. :-(
There have been a lot of Goodbyes these past days. And all were people who lived with me in this house since I arrived here in Peru in January.
On Sunday Thomas and Stefanie Seefried left. They worked here with the YMCA of Arequipa. We just got to be real good friends. Until now they just were a part of my Peru-world. Now their year is over and they are simply gone. :-(
Just some days before Thomas and Stefanie left, Cara said "Saying Goodbye sucks". A quite strong expression. But then I had the idea, that I could buy Thomas und Stefanie socks for a Goodbye-present. Why socks? Well they just became "Saying-Goodbye-socks". And that both meanings could be read, I didn't write socks nor sucks, but "Saying-Goodbye-Sox" on the socks.
Well, and today my hermanita (little sister) Ryan went back to the USA and my hermanita Cara moved to another peruvian family. They also lived with me here since January. And now only I am left. Of course I do have my peruvian family, but even though it will be so different and I'm just sad for now.
Cool was, that they pre-celebrated my birthday last Saturday. I really had no idea, I thought it was a goodbye-lunch for Thomas and Stefanie. But then everything was for me and I got my first birthday-presents. It really was soooo nice!
Well, Cara still is in Arequipa, but it's just different and I will miss all of them for real!

My english blog is on
So now!
This is my first post in my english blog.
Generally the posts here just will be the translations of my german blog. But that's fine as my english-speaking friends will not read the german blog.
Have fun with it.
