Dear Friends,

many of you are probably already

waiting to hear some news from my

side. About one week ago I arrived

safely in Germany. The last weeks in

Laos were quite busy. The farewell

was lovely but difficult at the same

time. I miss already now all the dear

friends, the colleagues and the

people in the villages.

The most beautiful farewell gift

came from one of my lao friends

who actually does not share our

belief but who wished me „God‘s

blessing“ when we saw each other

for the last time.

I am looking back on the 6 years in

Laos with a deeply grateful heart.

It was a time full of new

experiences which helped me to

understand this country better and

made me love its people.

In a few weeks I will send you some

more news. But until then I wish

you a blessed Christmas time and a

Happy New Year!

Esther

And the King will reply,

„Truely, I tell you, whatever you

did for one of the least of these

brothers and sisters of mine, you

did for me.“

Matthew 25, 40
