Friends

As we walk through life it is such a blessing to have great friends to share joys and sorrows, good times and bad times, fun and hard work. It has been said that if at you can count on one hand the "Great Friends" you have in life, you are truly blessed. We are so thankful, we have to borrow 5 or 6 other hands to count all our true friends. What a blessing to have so many of our friends helping in such a great way through this whole journey. This past Saturday our home church had a "going away" party. It was so much fun to spend one last hoorah with everyone before we leave. What a blessing each one of you have been to us. You will never know how much you truly mean to us. My greatest fear when preparing to move to another country is not having close friends to "hang out" with. I am so thankful for technology where we can skype, Facebook and keep in contact so closely with everyone. It is not quite the same, but will help so much. We have had so many people tell us they want to come visit in Germany. I am holding every one of you to it. :) We have plenty of room and look forward to being tour guides.

Don't laugh at my socks and shoes. I thought it would be comforatable and it was NOT.

Jonathan and Melissa LaBarge - we will miss you guys and all the fun dinners and movie night.
