hope street

my friend lilly and i have an apointment to see a house on hoffnungstrasse (hope street) with six or seven rooms, two kitchens, an attick and garden. pray for us! this would be a great place to live, the location is good, the house sounds great.... and we especially like the street name for working with people who are in desperate need of just that- hope.

gone too long

its hard to be back after being in the states so long.. i feel like a stranger again.. i guess not having an apartment is making it all a bit harder, too.

missing in action:

mani, moni, eric, and the other marketplace alchies!

while i was in the usa legislation was passed to prevent homeless from hanging out in certain parts of the city. the main area affected was the marketplace, which is where i met with most of my people. this was primarily the place older alchoholics hung out (from late 30s to 70s) and begged. i wasnt here durring all that, so i dont know where they have all gone to.

4 beds, 3 nights, 2 cities

so i did in fact make it back to germany alive, and while i haven't been able to post, i have managed to sleep in 4 apartments in 3 nights in two cities.. i am still looking for an apartment of my own, so please pray that that search will go well.
otherwise, its back to live as abnormal. i got back to bremen an hour before working at the drug counseling center.. then the weekend was spent looking up some of the people i counsel and saying hi.
