Hamburg

So, I am proud to report that everything here is amazing. I mean it. I love Hamburg. and my family is so sweet. They are young like my parents, easy to understand, and supa helpful. My room is neat, I'll get pictures up of everything as soon as I get them taken. We're painting my room next week, pink! :]
Last night I went to church. It was really similar to fuel, it made me feel very at home.
-Blind Worship leader, this guy was amazing. he can't see. he plays the piano and leads worship. AND he sings some songs in English. meaning he has to memorize everything. I was amazed.
-Diverse Congregation, there were more different kinds of people than i ever see in Blo/No
-Black Pastor, now normally I would say that's not something you see in Germany very often, but Hamburg is a melting pot. This guy was so fly, he was wearing a suit, but like a linen suit, like you would wear to a wedding on the beach, and it was white. with a red buttondown under it. So funny.
-Sweet Sermon, now naturally I didn't understand all of what he was saying, but I did understand the message, because I think normally this guy is the youth pastor, so he makes things easy to understand and made alot of jokes, making it easy for me to grasp what he was saying.
-Loud Music, it was just like fuel, with the concert atmosphere, it was great. and some of the songs we sang there were the same we sing at fuel, or big church. That was really comforting to me, it was like even though I don't understand what these people are saying, we all are here for the same purpose. It was super cool.

Leaving Everswinkel: Everything was cool. Kathi threw me a party on Friday, lots of her friends came for their "last goodbye(s)" that was pretty cool. I'll miss them. But I'm going to go back and visit and they're coming to visit me at some point, afterall Germany's not that big.

All-in-all, everything's pretty good here. I'm nervous for school. But that's to be expected. I have this week to make the most of before the school year even starts. The family and I are going to the Ostsee today. To swim and have fun. So I'll keep you posted on how everything's going.

<3 and miss everyone.
