Family (+Jeremy) trip to Berlin!!

Right after Christmas, we took a family trip with Jeremy (semester missionary) to Berlin. Our main purpose in going was to visit the Dressel family. We have mentioned them before...they are good friends who have family that attend our international church and they are also the one's whom many of you have prayed for...their middle son was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Please keep praying for Joni and for this family!! While visiting them, we were able to see a little bit of Berlin and also treat ourselves to a few "western" luxury items...see below!!...Brandenburg Gate






...Checkpoint Charlie!!


...simply reminded me of my grandma!! (Edna is her name!) ...Italian restaurant for lunch!! ...walking in the park with the Dressel's.

...JFK English School

...Beni, Joni, and Philip doing some fireworks!!


...we visited a petting zoo at a retirement home!

...great pic!!

...really unbelievable that just "one" would cost almost 2 Euro!!

...we found this man-made tube slide...very fun!!!



Now to the simple pleasures that we all miss so much!

We woke up to snow our last morning!
