We have mentioned our 'German Kids' before and how much we enjoyed having them in our home, and spending time with them. They loved to BBQ and continued to impress us with their ideas for having another one - a good bye for a friend who had been there for a week; a birthday celebration or last chance before Mission Simulation etc. We usually just sat back with our feet up, as they provided the meat, salads and desserts.
Another great memory is always having flowers and chocolates waiting for us when we returned from long trips. Great kids!!
They graduated this year though, causing lots of sad farewells. However, it helped having a few of those good byes postponed, as we made plans to meet in Germany after Refresher Course.
Boris and Valentina Bergen
Spending a few days with the Bergens would brighten up everyone's spirits! God has given them the gifts of hospitality and encouragement which has been demonstrated over and over again during their 2 years in North Cotes.
Now we have seen it displayed in Germany too. We also enjoyed getting to meet their parents and siblings and spending time in their childhood homes.
Enjoying a picnic by a lake just a few minutes walk from where they live.
Trying spaghetti ice cream for the first time!!
Strolling around in a nearby town.
Learning a new game.
The next time we see Boris and Valentina will be in the Philippines!!! They are on their way to South East Asia later this year which is soooooo exciting.

Liz, I always read your blogs. They are so interesting--material for a book someday!!
Thanks Muriel. That thought has entered my head from time to time - basically as people have suggested it. But it will probably always stay a thought!!
Let's Skype sometime.
