Historic Zingst
Dear Friends
One of the most moving moments was to visit the church where Dietrich von Bonhoeffer preached when he started a seminar here in Zingst. I could envision how he stood in the pulpit and encouraged the church to stand firm in their faith in light of the Nazi regime. Later, shortly before the war ended he was executed after years in prison. This man was one of the greatest man in the last century. What a privilege to walk for a moment where he ministered and influenced German history.

The area is also particular known for its architecture of roofs. The houses are fantastic and fit perfectly into the charming but rough windy ocean weather.
Zingst, Baltic Sea 2015
Dear Friends
Way up in the East of Germany, the Baltic Sea is a beautiful part of my home country. It invites you to linger, rest and walk along the sand dunes.

Wedding
Dear Friends
The wedding was fantastic. The bride looked beautiful and the celebration was filled with joy and fun! The Germans know how to throw a wedding party. Singing, dancing, videos, and games entertained the guests into the morning hours. It was so much fun being with my family and getting to know the "new" extended family of the bride.
