Bible Study

This week we had our German speaking bible study at our home. The couple whose home we normally meet in had family visiting so they were unable to attend. Most of the people that we talked to said that they weren't able to come this week. Hence, ten minutes before it was supposed to start we were sitting there only knowing of one person that was coming, thinking we would just do a game night instead. To our surprise three others came as well. The group seemed very different than normal, us being the oldest people that were attending. This week Seth was leading all in German. He had lead one time in German before for a youth boys small group but not for this group before. Now for the last 3 months, I haven't heard Seth's German so much with having lots of family visiting. Hearing him during this bible study, I was blown away. My husband was expressing his thoughts and feelings, discussing theological topics, and asking thought provoking questions all in German. I don't mean to share this to brag, I was just so amazed! It is crazy how much God has used us and developed us in this past year of living here in Innsbruck and a big thing is through the language learning. I don't know if God is calling us to stay here in Innsbruck for long term. However, it is very clear to me that God used us and is continuing to use us in the time that we have been here and I am loving the ways I am seeing my husband grow and develop. I wanted to thank all of you for prayers for our language learning process (please keep praying, there is still so much to learn). I do also believe that wherever God leads us in life, learning German will be something of value to us later.
