James was here at 10:35pm taking forever to write his blog.

    Well, we are down to only one more day left, and I'm nowhere near ready to come home. It been such a blessing for me to get to help the Lawrences. 
    I really love it here. The country is so beautiful, but this place could use some Wendy's around here. Of course the prices are a little high too. It's going to be hard for me to leave even though I can't wait to see some of my friends and others.  Lord willing I'd love to come back with the Biermens to help the Lawrences on some more stuff next year. 
      Today we went to a lady's house who's name was Stephanie. She has just been saved, and has cancer. We sang and really just had church. Drew preached (which was a blessing).
Her family is lost, and that is really hard on her. Anyway, we had church in her living room, which was a blessing to her as well as to us. Her son, Thomas is 16, please pray for him. We have become good friends, and I praying for God to open a door tomorrow for me to get to talk to him before we leave for the U.S. Please pray.   Thanks for paying for this trip.

Hello everyone! I am having a blast! I LOVE it here! The Lawrence family has been such a blessing to all of us. It is such a blessing to see what God is doing here with the Lawrences. It has been a blessing to me getting to know everyone better and watching everyone open up and having a great time. I think Paul has opened up the most. I don't think anyone could smack the smile off his face! We went to a catholic church the other day. Just as soon as I walked in, the absence of Gods spirit could be felt. But it was very emotional. Just looking around at all the people in the building knowing all of them had no peace, no joy, no hope within. Knowing all of them were headed to a dark eternity. I could not fight back the tears. I could not imagine living such a dark blinded life. I am so blessed! Thank you Lord for saving my soul!

Paul was here at 7:22pm winning all the arm wrestling matches.

Good morning, America! lol This is Paul. We've been doing a lot of work, but I've been enjoying it. I talked to Catholic lady today, and I couldn't understand much of what she said, but I tried to encourage her to come to church. She was telling us we shouldn't be passing the flyers out because we couldn't speak German and couldn't answer her questions. I enjoyed today, though, even though I got left in my room while the others left. I was studying because I have the devotion tomorrow morning. :( lol Thank you all for sending us here, we're having a great time!


Amie was here at 4:55 just chewing her gum

  Wow! I feel like that's just about the only word to describe how I'm feeling about this whole trip. I think the thing that has stuck out to me the most, is the fact that there are so few Christians here. Every time we go somewhere, I can't help but to think of all the people who have never heard the gospel, and some who will never know Jesus. I've been reminded of how fortunate I am to have such a good church, and to have been raised in a Christian home.
  I really do love it here, and as much as I miss home, I know that I'm really gonna miss it. It's been great to meet all the people that Kaylee has told me about, and now I know them personally, and I can put faces to the names that I have been praying for.
  We've all been having a great time, and I have so many fun stories I could tell, but it would take too long! :) Thank you all for the prayers, and I hope this wasn't a boring post. I feel a little pressure writing this because of all the other people that have been blogging, and of course my wonderful writer sister. :) I can't wait to see you all, and thank you to Cornerstone for making this trip possible. I love you!

Drew was here at 1:52 and that's all.

hi everyone. this is drew. ill go ahead and get this out there that im a horrible typer so dont worry about the mistakes.
 well, its been great so far. this morning at church a woman came because she got one of our flyers we past out for the church. we had a great service. im sure the preaching was good but im not sure what he said cause it was in german.
we have gotten a lot of work done and i know this has really been a blessing to bro.mark. this has really shown how much our missionaries are determined to do the work god has called them to do. we will be doing more street work in other villages the next three days.
 thanks cornerstone  and bro.ron for allowing us to go and be a part of this ministry.

Collin was here at 10:21. Watching Tangled!!!

Hey everybody!
   Living in America we sometimes don't realize how blessed we really are until we are out of our normal situations. I am thankful for that now like I've never been before. Thankful for our church loving missionaries enough to send 10 people to help with some projects. Thankful that God allowed me to get to come. Thankful for my family wanting me to come. Today I got to visit my first Catholic service. As I stood in on it all I realized that probably every single person in that building except for the 12 of us were lost. I stood looking around at young and old alike and realizing that they are one heart beat away from an eternity of God's wrath. I think that I have never fought the tears back so hard before in my life about any thing! In that village there was not a Bible believing church. In the Lawrence's town there are 2,600 people and only their church which has about 10 to 20 on a Sunday morning. These people are so unreceptive to any form of the gospel that it is truly heartbreaking. But even if the Germans were responsive to the Gospel, there is such a need for laborers that the important of missions has a new perspective for me. Thank you all again for your prayers. May God do something special in the lives of each one of us on this trip!

Hannah was here at 9:35. Having a wonderful time!!!:)

Hi everyone!! Kelley has given me the honor of writing a short script on her blog:) I am having an AMAZING time!! Today I got to go into a catholic church for the first time, I can't even explain how humbled it made me feel. I am SO blessed to have been raised not in religious confusion but in real church like Cornerstone! :)
