We spent our last weekend in Europe at family camp, in Germany, with our wonderful friends. There was time to play sports, indoor or outdoor - play on the awesome swings, talk with everyone, bbq, eat, and hang out. We managed to play quite a bit of frisbee yet again, and even a bit of American football! Every day we had a sermon translated by Jonathan and our new friend Katarina! They are pretty good (: Some of the main topics were, our assurance of salvation, being one body in Christ, and baptism of the Spirit. It was really good to be studying again with others. The last night we spent together was almost perfect - a few of us were sick. We ate some pork wrapped around a stick, threw them into the bushes so pig trees will grow, and german buns. Then took off to a walk through the woods in the dark! It was slightly muddy, but bright from the moon and stars. Absolutely beautiful. We hung out and talked for a little more afterwards, when almost everyone had gone to bed, we set out to find the perfect star-gazing spot. Which ended up being in the middle of the road because we're all too scared of slugs. But it's tradition, and so it had to be done! After seeing a few shooting stars, and after we heard terrifying things in the trees, we ran to bed for a short nights sleep. Our last day with them was sunny and hot and the perfect day not to leave...BUT! We had one last sermon, a yummy German lunch and said our goodbyes. After making plans of who's coming where next, and all the reasons to come back/visit Canada. There's a little bit of insurance now (:
We said our goodbye to Jonathan in a rush because we thought the train would leave without us, hopped on, and were on our way back to Holland. Which is where we are now, enjoying the last few days before we come home.
Thank you Donges', and Buhl's and the entire church!! You're such a blessing to us, and we wouldn't have had near as much fun or encouragement without you all! May God bless you and keep you.
p.s. we were having too much fun at camp, and didn't take a single picture...sorry!
