Little Naomi, was the first one to wake up, in our new room. She was all smiles, when she realized, she was sleeping in mommy and daddy’s bed. And I was thankful, that I, had a good nights sleep on a bed, in a house, rather than on a boat. The German feather quilts, Fedderdecken”, had kept us really warm in the night, but climbing out of bed we felt the chill of our room. The house had been sitting empty for a long time, which explained, why it was so cold. There were no heaters, and also no animals in the stalls, to warm up the place. I decided to wear my “long johns” under my corduroy skirt and a couple of sweaters.
Thomas took Naomi over to the window, reminding me of the day we moved into Living Waters. He pointed towards the forest and said “Look Nomi, there are the trees! In German we say “Wald.” So right there began our language lessons! Our communication from that day on, was a blend of English and German. This was our first time sharing a meal, and realizing, we were now living together. Unfortunately, Peter had not been informed about the details of the housing situation. I think Jim’s attitude was; “It will work out somehow, the Lord will make a way.”
