well, i can't really remember what's been keeping me so busy, but it's been a lot!
friday all day was spent organizing, gathering things, and going on a lovely barbeque picnic in the german hillside.
saturday i had a wonderfully relaxing day in my home, and then came over to the villa for dinner and games and fun.
sunday i took two groups of students and staff down to calvary chapel Herborn. i led worship with a couple other guys, and the rest came along for the ride. i've been doing a lot of driving lately, which is fun and good for me- i feel really quite confident at driving stick. the drive home sunday night was crazy, it was raining so hard.. but the Lord got us safely home at last.
monday i had the morning off so i could go to devotions without responsibilities! :) it's always great to have a break and be able to just receive for a while. worked coffeebar afterwards, which i always enjoy, and led worship with ludwig and a couple others at monday night class.
yesterday got some organizational things done pertaining to the worship ministry here, there, and everywhere, followed by staff meeting and a lovely evening at sabine's house.
today i've been studying for my class- first class is on friday!! i am really looking forward to it. there are 7 students signed up for it so far. need to study some more... after i finish blogging. also had a fun lunch with aan-sofie at ikea today. and tonight is women's discipleship class at miri's house.
tomorrow [thursday] night i'll be playing music and leading worship at the Straßencafé that CC Siegen does once a week downtown. i haven't been there yet, so i'm looking forward to it.
friday is my class in the afternoon, and then i'm working coffeebar all night.
this saturday we're going on the annual Koblenz trip, which includes 7am departure, 2-hour bus ride, boat ride up the Rhein River, hike up a mountain to the Marksburg castle, then come back down the hill and river to Koblenz for a leisurely afternoon in the city. i like this trip, despite having been on it about 3 times already. it's a great way to get to know the students. we're praying for good weather!
and i'm really excited to announce that Pastor Nick is back!!!!!! i missed all 3 services sunday because i was in herborn, but i'm super glad that he's back and feeling better. got to say hi to him yesterday real quick. currently trying to find the podcast from sunday, because i heard it was great.
i'm pretty sure i'm going to london and bristol for outreach...... more to follow.
also looking ahead to the CC Herborn women's retreat, October 2-4. should be good!
ok off i go! lots of love from germany.
p.s. here is a picture of the cute church across the street from my house. the church bells ring every 15 minutes. one ring for quarter after, 2 rings for half past, 3 rings for quarter-to, 4 rings at the hour, followed by a different sound of bell that says what o'clock it is. :) it's quite handy indeed. i'll try to take better pictures of my apartment soon too!
AND my brother Tyler comes to visit in less than 5 weeks :)
tschüüüüüüüüüüß!
