\"Wie<\/a><\/div>

Wie wir uns trafen<\/h3>Aus Visagr\u00fcnden konnte Raph die USA nicht verlassen und deshalb fuhr er von New Orleans nach Wisconsin um als Mitarbeiter bei einem christlichen Lager mitzuarbeiten.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Danke<\/a><\/div>

Danke Josh Garrels<\/h3>Der Tag an dem wir herausfanden, dass wir beide Josh Garrels Fans sind hat unser Leben ver\u00e4ndert. Gegen Ende des Sommers fanden wir heraus, dass ein Konzert von Josh Garrels nicht weit von uns entfernt stattfindet. Gemeinsam fuhren wir hin und verbrachten so zum ersten mal Zeit au\u00dferhalb des Lagers…<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tausende Kilometer entfernt<\/h3>Am Ende des Sommerlagers war Raphi bereit eine Beziehung einzugehen, jedoch war Ell kurz davor nach Kanada zu ziehen und sie wollte deshalb nichts \u00fcberst\u00fcrzen. Raphi zog dann wieder zur\u00fcck nach New Orleans um seinen Master abzuschlie\u00dfen.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>\r\n <\/div>

December 30 2016<\/h2>

Beziehungsstatus: Vergeben.<\/h3>Nachdem der Sommer vor\u00fcber war und wir das Lager verlassen hatten, blieben wir weiterhin in Kontakt. Ein paar Monate sp\u00e4ter trafen wir uns zu Weihnachten wieder in Wisconsin. Raphi fragt Ell noch ein zweites Mal ob sie nicht an einer Beziehung interessiert sei, und diesesmal sagte sie tats\u00e4chlich Ja.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

So nah und doch so fern<\/h3>Raphi machte ein Praktikum in einer freikirchlichen Gemeinde in \u00d6sterreich, w\u00e4hrenddessen machte Ell ein Praktikum mit Operation Mobilisation in Irland.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tsch\u00fcss Fernbeziehung<\/h3>Ell zog zur\u00fcck nach British Columbia in Kanada um ihr letztes Jahr an der Uni abzuschlie\u00dfen. Nicht viel sp\u00e4ter kam Raphi hinterher um diesem ganzem Fernbeziehungs-Kapitel ein Ende zu bereiten.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Sie<\/a><\/div>

Sie sagte “Ja”<\/h3>Wie schafft man es seine Freundin in falscher Sicherheit zu wiegen sodass sie den Heiratsantrag garantiert nicht erwartet? Ganz einfach: Man fragt sie am Tag davor nach der Ringgr\u00f6\u00dfe – zumindest f\u00fcr Raphi hat das hervorragend funktioniert.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Thanks<\/a><\/div>

Thanks Josh Garrels<\/h3>The day we found out that we both liked Josh Garrels might have changed our lives. Later in the summer, we found out that Garrels would be preforming not too far away. This concert became the first time we hung out outside of camp.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
