one exciting day

 Well, it's one of those things you long for and pray for... a baptism service with friends!
 Two of our good friends with Connexxion got baptised in our church in Braunschweig. After the worship, we celebrated with a large barbecue with friends.
 Here is Thanh, who comes originally from Asia and is studying engineering. Beside him is Lydia and her folks-- she was a student in Jena, who moved to Braunschweig to get her Masters (then her doctorate), and helping us get the Connexxion group "off the ground" when we were really new in 2007!
 Karen T. was our 1-month intern from Union Univ. where she serves on staff and is a super talented young woman! (Birthe and Anja with her)
 Sören also got baptised that day (lifted up here by friends from his chemistry and physics studies, who came just to support him that day).
His mom and family members also came to support him!
