this will not be a happy post.
we had our first snow today. now, on top of the fact that the defroster, heater and windshield wipers on my car dont work its now officially illegal to drive until i purchase winter tires.
the euro rate is hovering around .66-.67 when i moved here it was .74 this means that i'm paying about $150 more each month on bills and things (rent, utilities, phone, internet, etc.). i already make less than i was making when i lived in california working part time as a sub so this is pretty rough. so this means i "get" to start fundraising again...oh the joy.
i know this sounds silly but please pray for the euro rate to stop sucking. people in the military get extra money from the government to compensate for the poor exchange rate but those of us who are here in europe as missionaries are hurting and so many people are having to leave their ministries to go back home to fundraise.
on a happier note john and i are taking eight middle schoolers for an overnighter. were leaving today and heading to holland for cave laser tag and indoor snowboarding. pray for safety for that as well.
thanks y'all, sorry this was such a bummer of a post.
