Today we had a
party in my German language class. It was a Frühstück (breakfast), pre-advent
party. We invited the other class to join us, which means that there was about
40 people all together. Everyone brought something for a typical German
breakfast: bread, cheese, sausage, jelly, butter, cake, egg, fruit, veggies,
nutella, juices, coffee, and tea. It was a feast! There was even food left
over!

Germans often have big breakfasts and lunches while their dinners usually
consist of cold foods (like sandwiches). At the party we also divided into teams and decorated advent wreaths.
There were so many people there that only a handful could help decorate the
wreaths. I wasn't able to do very much, although it looked like fun. The wreaths were very beautiful in the end, and we were given 4 candles to
put in them.
It was nice to have a less intense
day for a change. My class is usually 4 hours long with one short break. Today
we were able to mingle and just have fun. A Filipina woman played music on her
ipad while a woman from Georgia (the country) took pictures. During the meal the
Filipina woman, who speaks English, told me how she met her husband (who is
German). We were talking in English because I would not have been able to
understand her story in German. Our teacher scolded us for using English in
class J Nonetheless, I am glad that I had a chance to
talk with her and hear her story. There are many interesting people in my class
and I learn new things about them every day.
Prayer:
1.
Please pray that I will have many opportunities
to share God’s love with my classmates.
