Germany

I am so lazy. Well, not really. I just haven't had the time so I apologize.

Germany. That is a BIG word. I mean it's like OK, we are moving. So and so. Not really a real thought until you get there for a while because at first it is only like vacation for a long time. Especially that we see them more often then we would have through video chat. But now it is turning into reality. I mean now I am going to German school, having a bunch of hours, many teachers, subjects, books, folders, and notebooks. I am also not used to not having a recess. Everyday we have a break for 20 min. But there is no playground. What I think is fun though is they have these poles sticking out of the ground and we try to jump over them. I can also hang out and talk to my friends. But 20 min. really is not that long if you start at 7 : 45 and end at 4:15

These are all my classes and teachers. Some of them have fun names.

* Englisch Frau Zander
*Mathematik Herr Becker
*Erdkunde (Geographie) Frau Schmidt
*Latein Frau Hwang
*Biologie Frau Kommert
*Natrophenomene (Science) Frau Zander or Frau Palli
*Deutsch Frau Sidler
* Religion Herr Puhl
*Musik Frau Matheus
*Bildende Kunst Frau Gingeleit
*Sport Frau Sidler

My computer does not like any of it except for Religion, Sport, Frau, and Herr. I like Frau name.

I can ride my bike to school on a bike path. If I want to go more relaxing it takes me about 15 min. Medium is about 10 min. And "schnell" (fast) is 6 min.

Here they have really good chocolate. Some people at church give us chocolate but we can never eat it all because it is so rich and we have so much. Someone also gave us gourmet gummies. They are really good and taste like strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.

Life is good. Are kitchen arrived yesterday so we have a fridge and a freezer plugged in. Yeah! The rest is here we just have to put it together. We will probably put it in on Saturday. To bad it is supposed to be 25 degrees Celsius.

We have a very nice ward. A man from Brazil came here for work for three months and is from the same mission that my dad taught in. WOW! Especially since there are 30 something missions in Brazil. There is also a man from Columbia that my mom and the missionaries have been helping. It is fun that my mom and him can speak Spanish and my dad and the guy from Brazil can speak Portuguese. Except the hard part is that now they are both trying to learn German it is a LOT harder. I believe them.

In the front the picture I posted was of the "Schloss". That is a German castle that used to be across the street from us. There was a big show called : "The Arena Of Pop". There where a lot of different singers. There was also Ricky Martin but my mom said that he was a disappointment and the other singers where better. ( The Arena of Pop went until 10:00 at night and we were still jet lag. It was the Saturday after we flew in and I think we flew in on Thursday. I will show a video in another post.)

The "Eis" here is REALLY good. Here are some of the flavors I have tried.

*Raspberry
*Strawberry
*Pistachio
*Apricot Lavender
*Black Forest
***Lemon
*Cinnamon
*Melon
*Chocolate
*Straticella
*Himberre

I am sad, but glad that we are here.
