I am in Koln visiting my old campus pastor from college. I am staying with his family and even have my own room and bed. I am staying in a cool little town on the outskirts of Köln called Zündorf The host family is cooking excellent food for me, and I have had copious amounts of bread and potatoes. The hospitality is overwhelming between the food, tours, free train tickets and just great times. (my host can give a great tour despite not speaking the same language)
The small town itself has amazing walking paths and two beautiful lakes along a large pavilion. We can even get to downtown by a quick train ride. The town is even celebrating its 1000 year anniversary in a few months (three times older than Boston)
I also have been able to volunteer and help a number of churches in the local area. We spent time with one of the local campus ministries (called Chi Alpha in the US) and we were able to speak at a class on the Holy Spirit at a local church. Later I even got to see one of my friends from Boston who passed through the area. I have run into many friendly people (even customs and train workers)
For everyone who has been praying, thank you. I hope that more people will see their value the Christ's love.

Hey Josh! I never received your phone call. Don't know why it said I was out of service. Dad gave me call info so I will try to get Sprint plan activated so that I can call you after 72 hours. Apparently it takes three days to activate.
Hullo, Josh!
I am excited to start reading your adventures, and I am thinking kind thoughts for you back in Cambridge!
