The exterior of the restaurant is all glass so I have a fabulous view. Even though I can't understand the language I can tell by their body language and facial expressions what they are doing and what's on their mind. People are rushing to make appointments, some are in love, others look annoyed as they talk on the phone, anxiousness and boredom are on the faces of others. Many walk around with smiles, Mama's push their little ones all bundled up in strollers and kids run around chasing their friends. One thing that jumped out at me while people watching is that people in Germany need Jesus. Unfortunately, there are no LifeChurch campuses over here. We have not passed many churches during our drives around town. I've worn my youversion shirt and pray that everyone who saw my shirt will check our online Bible out and find Jesus.
I have never seen so many bikes in my life. So many people bike or walk to their destination. The bread and desserts have been amazing. Every morning I get a croissant and try to eat an apple strudel at least once a day. Ive made apple strudel once before but never had anything to compare it to. Now, I know what it should taste like and will be perfecting my apple strudel skills once I get home. Right now, I am eating the strudel in the picture.
Clayton has been working 15-20 hr days since we've been here. I've tagged along 2 of the days and that was fun meeting new people and watching Clayton work. He is brilliant. I don't know how he does what he does and I don't understand half of what he does. He is a wireless guru to say the least. The days I havent gone to work with him I've spent sleeping and reading. I miss our little ones dearly but have greatly enjoyed my time here. I've been all over our hotel reading. Were at the Atlantic Hotel and its gorgeous! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The bonus is that most of the staff speak English so I don't have to draw or point to the things I want. I've wandered around the town a little while Clayton has been working. The leaves are turning here and it's so beautiful. The down side is my GPS doesn't work unless I have wifi so I can't wander to far away. Getting lost in a different country alone is definitely not on my bucket list.
I've been so blessed that I got to make this trip with Clayton and that my parents were so willing to take care of my kiddos so I could come. I've been spending a lot of quiet time with God here. Its been so wonderful getting my batteries recharged, reflecting on my life and praying for future goals.
