Small Events

Here are a few events that have happened in the past month. 
Manfred and I at a nearby chocolate factory. Manfred has a growing habit of picking me up and taking me to random places.


 There were cows.




 And pigs. (Or "Miss Piggy" as Manfred calls them). 




 Manfred surprised me and bought me FRESH breakfast. God bless him, I was so proud.




This is a typical Sunday after church. We all bring food and partake.





 This is Gina the dog. On our way to Wittenburg where Martin Luther lived, nailed the 95 theses and died.

 The church where the 95 theses was nailed.



 Downtowne Wittenburg







 Martin Luther's home. This is also where he taught as a professor and wrote many of his sermons. We took a tour through the building and were able to see many of his original writings.








I don't like this picture. Faith chose it.


 My amazing beautiful wife. And Gina. 



 95 theses door.





 Martin Luther's grave within the church.




 Andres kindly invited us to an Audi Banquet in Leipzig. 








 There was a really awesome pool there and amazing food too. Including Kangaroo??






 That's the Kangaroo.







 No, I didn't rob the bakery. I was just sick and hungry.


 Faith and I drove this 2 little girls to a place where they ride ponies. 











 They were so stoked to have the top down in the car.

The 6th of December

So, tomorrow is Nikolaus the 6th of December. All the boys and girls of Germany including Joshua and I, will be cleaning our shoes and placing them near the front door. In the morning our shoes will be filled with chocolate and candy! If any of you read this before the day is over you should do this for your kids. It is just a tradition to remember Saint Nikolaus in giving gifts. I think Joshua and I will end up doing this with our kids in the future. Tomorrow is also the day that Joshua and I will be taking a train to Czech Republic. Goodnight California. - Faith
