We once again have a working kitchen and bathroom on the boat. Dries connected the boatyard’s water supply directly to the boat. So running water all around! The toilet flushes and is connected to the drain which Dries and Norbert finished this week. We had to buy some new batteries and the solar panels do their job which means lights and cold water in the fridge. It took a lot of scrubbing and manoeuvring in a small space and it feels as if I still smell of bleach. I am beginning to think that living on the boat might be more comfortable than our house. Now we just have to get the rest of Gabriel in the same shape.
One more week before Thesi arrives! She will only spend two weeks with us, but we are so excited. Remember that Thesi joined us for almost a year after finishing school some years ago. She is a Royal Ranger leader in Germany and was such a blessing to us. Joining the Bundeskamp in Germany more than a year ago was therefore very special to me as I had the opportunity to experience some of Thesi’s world. She has finished her studies last year and we feel very privileged to have been a part of her journey.
We celebrated 26 years of marriage. We appreciate the encouraging messages which we received. We feel blessed and privileged to be able to still work together in God’s Kingdom.
