Afternoon with Americans
Yesterday after our fellowship meeting, we went with a bunch of the young people from our group and 6 young people from America who had helped in 2 different English camps. The first week they helped out at our groups’ English camp and then the next week they helped out with another groups’ camp. English camps and camps in general are very popular here during the summer months. The Americans stayed in groups of 2 at different people’s houses and in their free time, which I don’t think was very much, they were able to go sightseeing.
Here are some pictures from the afternoon:
We posted a video of the changing of the guards a while ago, but it’s neat to watch. See if you can march like them and then do it in unison with someone else.
Time for a picnic!
This week the weather has been quite warm, but nothing unbearable like last summer. We also have some co-workers from further east who are traveling through the big city right now and so this week was a great time for us be able to hang out together. Here are some pictures from our fun time together.
On our way home, a storm had starting to come in and it was getting really windy. As we were walking by this new building that is still in the process of being built, pieces of wood and different loose objects were falling from the top. And a ton of dirt was just blowing all over the place. We made it to our bus stop with only a few tears from Violet, probably because she saw how worried I was walking by that building. Thankfully, we made it home safely.
The past few days…
...I made Chicago style deep dish pizza for the first time. Yum!
...we got a new washer!
We are so thankful for the great landlords we have here. Our other washer was having problems, every time I would start a load of clothes the fuse would pop and usually I would just flip the switch and it would start up no problem. Well, after doing that for a couple weeks, it decided that it was time to die for good. We had let our landlords know before when there was a problem with the fuse popping and now that the washer had finally quit working and they got us a new washer. Well, the apartment has a new washer. This time the language on it is in Russian and not German, which helps me out a bit.
...we took a walk through our nearby forest
...and Violet really wanted to go there just to go potty
