Recently Eli has been a part of a play group with other local German women and children. Although he is the youngest child there, it’s a chance for him to dance, hear fluent German, and exercise… if he’s not sleeping. The play group is designed as a community outreach.  There are only a couple of Christians in the group.  Even though we are still learning the language, it’s a great opportunity to love others like Jesus does through our actions.  God continues to give the Griesse family chances to reach out, outside of our comfort zone, and share the hope and the joy that we have.  Thank the Lord for Eli, who at his young age is already demonstrating how to love others even while he’s playing!
