Juergen and Nicole spent the first part of the weekend visiting his parents. Juergens mom has 3 brain tumors. She is very sick and it is getting really bad. I would appreciate your prayers for this wonderful woman (Waldtrud). They spent some time reading the diary of Juergens dad Richard. He is almost 80 years old, and survived World War 2. Richard’s father stood up agents the Nazis and was murdered for it. His oldest surviving brother (the oldest brother was killed in a farming accident) was sent to Russia and landed in a concentration camp. Richard would have had the responsibility of running the family farm. He prayed for his brother to return from the war so he could go to school (his dream). His brother had the last name Heymann (a Jewish name). A Jewish Dr thought he was Jewish, and she took care of him. She told the authorities he was no use to them, and should be sent home. So by Gods grace the oldest brother of Richard returned home 4 years before the other solders did. Many of those solders never returned home. This happened because of a Jewish Dr, and because of the family name. Juergen asked his dad if they are Jewish. The family had to prove they were not Jewish in order to keep there land. They have a family tree going back to the 1800's. We love Israel and would consider it an honor to be Jewish, but it looks like we are not. At least not on Juergens side of the family. My family name Moreno is the name the Jews took when they were forced out of Spain during the Spanish inquisition. I've heard a great number of people with the name Moreno are actually Jews that were displaced. So maybe this love I have for the children of Abraham is really a love for my own people?
