After 21 hours of traveling, we arrived to find our apartment in process of being remodeled (happy day!) and a room on the fourth floor all ready for us to rest. On the table were roses and homemade jellies from our Mennonite neighbor Ruthilde. We are using towels and sheets from other members of the congregation, Greg Rabus, director of Friedenshaus, welcomed us at the Mannheim train station and guided on two streetcar rides and a short walk to the Ludwigshafen Mennonite Church, where his office, our classes will be and our new accommodations are located.
So glad to see you made it safely! Hope you can get some good rest.
ReplyDeleteI'm already on German time, but poor Jack woke up before 4 a.m. Fortunately he was able to take a quick nap while Ruthilde showed me around the shopping area. Now we are in a young family's study and should be ready for bed, but I'm still wide awake and it's almost 11 p.m. We look forward to meeting the whole family tomorrow. We stayed late at the first family where the Rabus' are sleeing.
