Guten Tag!

It has been a couple years since our community has been able to welcome a new Assistant from Germany. Many of our friends have gotten to know some of our past German Assistants - Karoline, Katharina, Natascha, Jens, and Malena! We have absolutely loved all of these past Assistants, and we are so happy that Paula (sometimes called “New Paula”) chose to join us for a year of service! Sunrise House welcomed her to St. Louis at the end of August, and she will share life in our community over the coming year. Chip interviewed Paula so that we can all get to know her better! Make sure to introduce yourself and welcome her when you see her around!
