Hey Pastor, hey Kara, So you guys have been to Erfurt, Dresden, Austria, and now Florence? Where next, Paris? Anyway, hope you guys are having fun, and sorry about that typo I had last time, I meant to say guys, but I said gury. I hope you guys will have a great time on the rest of your trip. As a bunch of other people have said up in this blog, you guys deserve this trip. We here in this country called the USA, and more specifically the people of our congregation in Brea California, all appreciate the hard work you give us to keep our faith up, and keep our smiles on. (By the way Pastor, I don't want to hear anything about the Angels when you get back). We all hope you are having a great time in Europe. Have fun the rest of your trip! Christian Ilten Oh, by the way, Pastor Derek is doing a great job for lectures for Confirmation
