Next we drove from Interlaken to Hausen by Brugg (1.5 hours) to visit Hans and Valerie Roth. John taught Hans, who was baptized in his young 30s. He met and married Valerie and they had 10 kids and now there are lots of grandchildren. What a wonderful family! When we got there, the table was spread with a meal of all sorts of finger foods that were beautiful and fancy. Valerie prepared them all. Hans and Valerie were visiting at their daughter, at her home, with her 4 children..
We spent a couple of hours there visiting and catching up with their family news. Hans is about 84 now. Valerie is 72. Hans has cancer in his left eye and will have a biopsy next month, then will have the eye removed after that. He’s struggling a bit with his memory, but he seemed good and we had good conversations. He is a quiet gentle man who loves God and looks forward to the resurrection. It was so nice to be with them all.


Then we drove back to the Hubers (1.5 hours) and arrived here at about 8:00. Their table was set with another delicious meal–mashed potatoes, beef and carrots in a nice sauce, broccoli, then ice cream. Peter was home from his travels to Budapest and his twin brother, George who we met in Heilbronn last October had dropped by to visit. We sat and ate and visited until 10:00.
