Dear friends,

News, news, news !!!!

So many things have changed during the past months and itīs time to share them with you. I stopped studying Psychology, because it was too scientific for me and I didnīt feel well. I wanted to work with people and so I started a new study in April, itīs called Social Pedagogics and it prepares people to work in every social field. Later on I can be a counsellor, a street worker, someone,who works with old people or in administration and so on... Itīs more stress so far ( reading papers, tests, assignments ), but I feel fine there and Iīm curious how God will use this education. It wasnīt easy for me to leave the university ( "the highest form of education" ) and go to a "lower" school, but I know that Godīs values are different from ours.

At the same time God made it possible for René to move to Germany !!! Since April he is living 7 kilometers away from me. Can you imagine, what difference this makes, after dating for 2 years ? It is so great to see and experience how God cares for us! René even got work here, although it is so difficult at the time to get a job in this region. Heīs working as a nursery teacher for 5 kids, who have had very painful family experiences in the past- and he loves his job ! We are so glad about this. !!!! God even gave us a wonderful Opel Corsa as a present !!

But the greatest thing is yet to come.....: we will get married in August the 25 th in Oranienburg ( near Berlin ) . After this celebration, we wanna live in Berlin and we are currently searching for a flat.

I think, youīve got enough information for now.

Iīm living a blessed live, although itīs a bit stressful at the time, but Iīm very grateful for Godīs care. He is great and wonderful !!!

Love you all.

Yours Dörte
