Florian Joos with a guest of HELP Texas

 Florian Joos just finished his community service at HELP Texas. Shortly before his flight home to Germany he wrote this article. We publish it qite directly without a lot of editorial changes.

I am happy to have been here. It was worth it! Could learn a lot. E.g. I learned to care for my own things, washing my clothes, cleaning, cooking (there is more) and much more. Isn't that something? =) Could also experience God more. His strong love for me.This is so cool.

In the last weeks, I also had the possibility to come to know some nice people. Two candidates for the community service wer here and now I live together with three germans who are in a school for missions and do their outreach here.

Furthermore, since 3 weeks, an ex-streetsleeper is living with us. Neat!  He's a great guy and God really restores his life step by step. So cool to see how he is changing. Wow! But it's also a shock to see, how broken a person can be e.g. because of a bad childhood. But for God, nothing is impossible.

Now, I'm preparing for my trip home to Germany. Many things, I do for the last time. Sad, to leave the place here but I'm also looking forward to go home again. I will be able to sleep without aircon and there will be no fear to step on snakes during the night. But you can get used to these things too. :-)
