Fall comes to Germany

Taken today while biking around our beautiful town!

One month into school....

Tyler has been in school for one month. He is a Junior at BFA this fall. Here he is with his very good friend and classmate Yoel.

One month into college....

Luke has been a college freshman for just over one month. He is sleep-deprived but doing well. He has a great work study - working as a lab assistant in the MAC computer lab in the Art department!

Cream of the crop!

There are approximately 25 new staff members at BFA this fall and last night we hosted them in our home for coffee and dessert. What a special group they are! We had a great time together.

Pottery market comes to Kandern

Every year in the fall a huge pottery market comes to our town for a week-end. This year the weather was perfect for this outdoor event!

Amazing(and expensive!) creativity....

Christa and Esther (from my small group)

Administrators and their wives participated in one of the "skits"! Us ladies had to shave our husband's "head" which happened to be a balloon full of water held on top of their head! The plastic covering the floor was there for good reason!

This is Tyler and the costume he made out of cardboard. He had to carry it to the stage and then put it on! He and his friends were portraying a movie that hasn't been released yet!!

Sandee's small group at BFA

Every year the student body at BFA(H.S.) is divided up into small groups which meet every Wednesday evening for fellowship, Bible study, prayer, etc... This year I am leading a group of beautiful 10th Grade ladies! All 5 of them are new to BFA this fall. They are amazing - that's all I have to say!!

Kyra from France, Christa from Switzerland, me, Esther from Switzerland, Anna from Kazakstan, Olivia from Portugal. Christa and Esther are sisters!
