That's the nickname for the lovely girls in our dorm. Seven new girls arrived yesterday and eleven returners will arrive today. This maze of a house is about to get very noisy! I am so excited to finally have the girls here. This morning in the drizzly rain I got to drive the new girls to there first day of school (orientation). There was so much excitement in the van and the girls absolutely love that we are located about a ten minute drive from school. Yesterday one of the freshmen girls told me she already loves it here and feels at home. What a great blessing from God.
Please be in prayer for all the transition these girls will be experiencing within the next week. Saying goodbye to parents, living in a new country and time zone, living with 22 people, some just entering high school, and a new school. It's a lot but I know the Lord will be faithful in providing them with comfort and peace.
Interesting Facts about our Dorm
In one of our many attics the internet is held for the entire town of Wittlingen!
Our house used to be a dance hall and guest room for the town. Consequently, some people still stop by looking for a room!
There are 48 sinks in our house. One of the new girls counted as a challenge from our dorm dad, Brant.
The old half of the building was built in the 1700's.
We have an old picture of German soldiers standing outside the building. In the basement some of there names are carved along with a swastika.
So there is a lot of history in this house. But to all of us girls and one guy, Brant this is home!
