After hearing Thomas’ recording in the last episode, it reminded me of the radical change that took place, when we moved to Germany. Even for Thomas, though he was back in his home country, he was not in his home town of West Berlin. He had no idea how the Christian way of life would be, compared to what he had experienced, in California. For me, besides the language, being a young mother and pregnant, moving in with people we had never met before, meant lots of adapting. You have heard the details of those stories in my early episodes.

Then our lives changed again after we moved to Munich. At this point in my story, we had been living in the city for more than fifteen years. To adapt and fit in, we had altered the way we dressed, the way we talked, and our perspectives on daily life, and how we shared the gospel. Our three years in California, and at the farmhouse in northern Germany, were long gone. The only thing that remained, was our commitment to serve the Lord, wherever He sent us.
