My Life Since 1968 ~ Bonnie Nightengale Hofer

"My Life Since 1968" ~ Bonnie Nightengale Hofer

I attended Grace 2 years, then got married.  Isn’t that what a lot of Grace couples did back then?
After a few months, we felt called to serve short term for Greater Europe Mission in Seeheim, Germany, at a Bibelschoole for training their own people.  It was a rewarding experience working with the summer Euro-Corp just learning about missions, and then doing our work with the house/grounds, and helping the missionaries and their families.
After two years we were needed back home on the farm in SD.  Dennis was able to finish his degree at DWU, and I became a lab tech, working until our first child was born.  After years of farming, and 3 kids by now, the future looked gloomy for the farming economy.  So, I needed to work again!  I took up nursing and became an RN, working for almost 20 years before retiring.  I still do some PT home health, and Dennis is still farming.
Our 3 kids are married, and we have 8 wonderful grandkids.  Camden is an
environmental engineer married to Sherry. Trenden is an 8^th gr science teacher married to Mandi. Our daughter, Amaris, an RN, just recently married  Matt Aken.  I could do a whole page on what each of their spouses do, which is just remarkable what God has given them the ability to do!
We have enjoyed trips to Kansas to visit family and friends.  During the last few years, the visits  were saddened at the loss of more of my relatives, and finally, even my own parents.  In spite of it all, the Lord has been faithful to us, showing His mercy and grace through numerous hurdles.  What a God we serve!  There’s no God like Jehovah!
