On Monday Bradley, Devon, Donia and Doreen left Germany for a short visit to the States. Since the trip came about rather quickly, we all wanted it to be a surprise for Danae, whose 20th birthday was on Tuesday. The only people who knew about the trip in the States were GFA, the pastors Bradley contacted, Dalene and my mother and daddy. :) And it turned out to be a very special surprise! Donia and Dalene got it on video for us.

Bradley had split from the kids in Newark and flown to Cleveland where he was met with the lovely minivan one of our supporting churches in Mentor had offered for the time in the States. What a wonderful blessing! He started the trip south that night yet, overnighted in Ripley, WV and drove the rest of the way Tuesday to catch up with the family in Greenville!
