HALLO!
Thing's we've learnt auf Düetsläand:
1) HALLO
2) YAY YOGHURT
3) MIRRI
4) Käse
5) Susie's into older men
6) German's don't sleep.
7) Ever.
8) Photographing things ruins real life
9) Living in a basement isn't all creepy
10) Wishing someone a "good naked" always goes down well.
11) "Freaking outrageous" is hard to translate
And now for something completely different...
We arrived in Berlin the other night and after minimal faff and face washing went straight to sleep. About four minutes later we were woken up at the crack of dawn for some traditional German essen. Miriam gave us a tour around Berlin which was interesting, and what struck me most was the relevance the aftereffect of the war still has on the city and it's inhabitants. It's difficult to find somewhere where you aren't reminded of Berlin's history and the implications of the division that was in Germany but, I also found, the hope and the pride in the city and what it's done and the identity of it's people. Miriam spoke of the part she belives God played in the freedom being found in the East, the wall coming down and what he's doing now in Berlin, which all sounded freaking exciting. Up till now, everything I've learnt of the war and the wall and At the moment and for the next few days we're staying at her church (or cherry or something..) with the youth which is pretty hectic and tiring but a lot of fun. I've found that praying and worshipping together creates an intimacy within minutes that was a bit lost to begin with because of language barriers and such. We did a bit of speaking today in the service, about what God's been doing with us and what we're learning with Him back home after spending the day in the most beautiful town in the world.
We both need to go faff and laugh now, night
