We still miss our beloved neighbors and we pray that your love for your neighbors increased.

When we moved to our hill we learned about green parrots who live here. This is not their natural environment at all but in some way, they ended up here. With that being the case over the years they adapted to the area. They started to eat the things they could find here and started to live on the different trees. I’m sure they were not the same as in their own environment but they adjusted. But while adjusting they still stayed true to who they are. They are still loudly talking to each other and hang out in their big group.

As the parrots did it we can do it too. When we moved to our area we really got to know people and adjusted to the life in that area. TO get to know people we had to be interested in what they are interested about. As an example, before we moved to our place I didn’t know much about keeping areas historic, but being here I learned a lot about that. With that, we were able to understand our neighbors better, connect and actually help out with some of the things people care about here. But then we did not change Markus and Jen and their love for Jesus. So whenever we do something and are involved in something we hope that it reflects to every one we get in touch with.

When we look at Jesus we notice that he always adjusted to the place he was in. It didn’t matter if it was with the rich, the poor, the powerful or the religious leaders. He always connected with them, but he always stayed true to who He is.

We want to challenge you to be incarnational in your community and reflect Jesus through your life.

Hey our friend

How was your week? We hope fantastic!!!! We had a really full week here in San Francisco filled with art, meetings, baby sitting and a Haeusser hangout just to name a few of them. But we noticed even if the week is full there is time that we can spend with each other and with God. We just have to be more intentional about how we use our time. Look at your schedule and see how you can use your time more intentional.

So start looking at your neighborhood and start to figure out how you can fit in better!!

Have a blessed week

Markus and Jen
