Finally, Saturday Supper at Six

Apparently, if you are a Washingtonian and want to join YWAM and do a DTS in Europe, than Herrnhut is the place for you.There are three other students in my DTS that are from Washington State. A guy, Brandon, and a girl, Sam, graduated together a year ago from a school north of Seattle and are having quite an early high school reunion. The best part is that neither one of them knew of the other coming. Another girl, Emily, is from Vancouver, WA. We've got a few Canadians, maybe a Polish person somewhere in the crew, a girl from Austria, one very tall Brazilian man and A LOT of Germans.

I've come to the realization (as have the three other only-English speaking girls...I'm excited about this realization, really) that I am going to have to learn German if I want to mingle with all of the students these next few months. So far, I've learned six basic words. Four if you don't want to include the words sorry and the extended version of thank you. Correction, I'm learning how to speak German, not necessarily learning how to spell it properly.

When we were registering we had this fun little information card to fill out. Here's what I got:
Name: Kari Lea Andersen
Nationality: American
Country From: United States
Three countries you would like to do outreach: Ethiopia, Thailand, Cambodia
Favorite Superhero: Princess Leia
Favorite thing to do the most: Fellowship with others
Expectation for school: For God to bring clarity into what He has for my calling to fulfill my ministry for His glory

We finally had our official meet and greet. Dinner was much better than the previous nights. Kinda deceptive as to what we really get, but oh well, it's food. Unfortunately, food here isn't showing "The Best of Germany." I'm sure it will taste like royalty food after outreach...so I'll enjoy it as much as I can! Then again, I love food so it really shouldn't be a problem.

Well folks, that's all I've got that I think might be interesting. I'll save you from boredom and write when I have something for you all to chew on. You bet it, I'll have some good stuff for you all.

Again, thanks for checking in. I LOVE to see how many new profile views I get. If you're ever bored and want to make me happy, go ahead and visit my page over and over again. How would I know it's just the same person stalking my page:-)

Love you all so so much! Oh yeah, almost forgot to ask.....Do you realize I'm in Germany?!!! I still haven't really figured that one out. Skype really makes this whole thing trippy.
