Speaking With Purpose

Hey everybody! Germany is treating Alicia, Mo, and me very nicely. We are starting to get used to the many different customs, such as separating trash into 4 containters (compost, paper, plastic, and everything else) and crossing the road ONLY when the green man says walk.  This morning we stopped by the grocery store close to the church building to grab some fresh brotchen (breakfast rolls) for our breakfast. YUMMY!

 I just love the people we have met so far, and I’m really enjoying getting to know my readers.  Right now, I have Birgit, Yulis, Claudia, and Hannah reading with me.  Birgit is just learning English so we are starting with the easy beginner book.  She knows more than she realizes though.  Today we talked about how Jesus is the Son of God and the definition of faith and believing in something.  Yulis is actually an Indonesian woman learning English and German AT THE SAME TIME (crazy, huh?) for her tourism job.  She asks many questions and is always craving more information about the English language and culture.  I meet with Claudia later today and Hannah next week.  I am so excited to meet and learn more about them. 

I am posting some pictures of the church building and the things we see in transit from the Bratcher’s house (place we are staying) to the church building.  We are hoping to take and post more ASAP. Love y’all!
