Youth Service in Gundelfingen

Dear Friends,

Many of you prayed for my sharing time at the Youth Service in Gundelfingen. Thank you, we had a great time and God really answered prayer. There were around 100 people at the service. The music was really good and the topic of 'One life to live" hit home with the kids.
I had much freedom and peace while Ben, my nephew interviewed me. I love to do things like that and it was very enjoyable.
Gil was there too and had a great time.

Blessings and love, Maria & Gil

Traveling in Germany




Dear Friends
In the last couple of weeks we traveled by train though the southern part of Germany. The picture on the left is Gil in Konstanze and on the right the old Muenster in Ulm. Germany is a very pretty country with lots of charm and history. A visit is worth while.
Much love, Gil & Maria

The Blue Women


Hi Friends
We had much fun doing our masks together. Not as blue as some famous men, but more beautiful. then they. My nice Franziska taught me a couple of new things like how to drink a "Haemmerle" when doing a mask. Women always can have fun together in all ages.
See you soon, Maria

A life long dream comes true

For the first time in his life Gil owns a tuba. We got it from eBay and we picked it up this weekend. Gil is thrilled to own his first tuba. After more then 50 years palying the instrument a dream came true for him. Did you know that Gil played for the Inauguration of President Johnson? We had a blast and as you can see he is very happy and handsome.

Happy Valentin's Day







Gil & I spend a wonderful afternoon in a cozy cafe, eating Black Forest Cake. Celebrating love is a true gift from God. The weather was wonderful and we posed for a picture outside the beautiful place. We enjoyed the company of my sister and brother-in-law. (top left corner)
Have a happy valentine's day,
Maria

Rosy and I are going way back to the late 80's where we studied together Christian Counseling in Philadelpia. Today she works as an Art Painting Therapist/Counselor near Zuerich.
We realized we look just the same then two decades ago or maybe even better!
