Great day today. Our group had the chance to volunteer at an old persons home or what we would call an assissted living home. My main job for the day was working in the garden weeding and planting. I even got to plant a mandarin tree and a sugar cane plant. But the best part of the day by far came later on when we got to interact with the people in the home. I was able to meet a 96 year old holocaust survivor named Heinz. Heinz was raised in Berlin in a Jewish household. His housekeeper was a Christian and read him the Bible, thats how he came to know Christ. When the Nazi party began to take over Germany, an underground church helped Heinz escape to Sweden. After the war was over, he returned to Germany to minister to the Jewish people. The stories he was able to share with me were absolutely amazing. He even wrote a book about his life story but unfortunately it has not yet been published in English. Before I left him I asked if he had any words of wisdom to share... he said to me "keep following Jesus and you will have a good life"... It was such a blessing to meet him, an experience I will never forget.
