i’m not sure how it was managed and how she finally convinced me, but yesterday i put my sweats on and sneakers and went to join everybody else.  i guess i gave in to peer pressure or maybe i wanted to see how i’d really do, but even with the butterflies in my stomach, i… Continue reading me and the sports

everything i was told was wrong.  the city was definitely not completely destroyed during the war and it was on the eastern side of Germany. i stayed in the strangest flat that made me feel like i had walked into something from the turn of the century (only it was quite warm and the bathrooms… Continue reading

you asked me if i’d want to go. yeah, i would.  we’d drive nine hours together and at some point you’d make me sit in front of the steering wheel as you sleep.  i’d listen to one of my mix’s and you’d wake up to be surprised at the length of it.  we’d arrive at a hotel… Continue reading an answer to my sister

– louissa leaves in six hours for one more outreach.  this one takes place in a city that was completely bombed and destroyed during the war and is at the very north end of germany (completely opposite of where she currently resides).  she loves outreach and is looking forward to it.  she’ll also be in another… Continue reading update on louissa

we sat for two hours and forty-five minutes just so that we could see beyonce and keith urban both sing.  it was by far, the cheesiest tv show i have ever sat through and watched.  after sitting through one show americans would never turn it back on.  i don’t know if that means that we’re… Continue reading

i like days like today. there is the highest storm warning ever in germany and although the worst of the storm won’t hit us directly, we should have some fun outdoor activity later today.  because of this the two groups going on outreach today didn’t go, no one is going anywhere, the Honeycomb is busy… Continue reading thinking

so apparently i’m technically challenged because no matter how hard i try, i cannot figure out how to blog a video.  i guess it doesn’t help that when i use google it’s all in german and so when i’m having difficulties it’s ten times harder to try to find my way around than when everything… Continue reading info at’cha

i stole the pastor’s keys thinking they were from my group. i got stuck in a men’s bathroom stall because of all the men surrounding me. i was told to be quiet (again) by an older woman who i don’t know. one pastor forced every kind of disgusting cookie down my throat all because he… Continue reading my weekend

selfish?  me?  no, never. distracted?  why would you think such a thing? prideful?  now we’ve gone too far. i’m at Bible school.  the place where one is supposed to be meditating on the goodness of God, learning more about Him, and learning what it is to really love others with His love.  funny that i’ve… Continue reading
