Hallo! i have now been here one week and two days - and it has snowed every one of those... but that's ok, i am adapting and becoming more and more german everyday. strolling around the frozen lake, enjoying the midday wine with lunch (outdoors), and opening wide the windows for the fresh air are a way of life here. and quite refreshing to be honest. i even have an apartment waiting for me in april, so in the meantime i am collecting furniture donations from generous people in the church and then, one glorious day i will head off to the one and only IKEA for all the rest of my stuff - including a kitchen! yes, you read correctly, i have to buy the whole deal: cabinets, sink, oven, stove, fridge, everything. there are hookups all ready. the germans just take it all with them when they move. homes do not even include closets, you have to purchase the wardrobe, or "shrank". wednesday is magic day, when i will be hopefully obtaining the all-important visa. my key to germany and what basically makes life here possible. i am especially enjoying the slower simpler pace before ministry comes in full force. i look forward to all that germany has in store for me.

I just wanted to let you know that someone is reading this ;) I miss you but am glad you are finding so much to enjoy there! I'll be driving home thinking of my cingular friends I can call because of course I have no minutes and my number one cingular friend isn't here, sometimes I get sad. How cool that you were able to just jump right in hanging out with students and so forth. I'm praying for you and your kiddos.
