I guess they are all going to be long days! In spite of that, we are enjoying the experience. Today we had our first teaching to a "volunteer" non-member. The new program focuses on teaching people, not lessons, so the first 15 minutes is getting to know you. That part went well and helped calm us down for the teaching. Despite all our years in the gospel we were both terrified we would forget something important in the lesson but it went pretty well. We DID forget to start our teaching with prayer but we did end with one.
Our day was taken up in learning the next lesson and then from 6-8 we had volunteers come in to have conversations with us in German. It was pretty realistic because most Germans know a lot more English than we do German so we asked a lot of Wie sact mann? (How do I say) and they of course could tell us. We had a scenario of someone new at church, one of a member at church and one at a Young Adult activity. Sam and I both thought these exercises were really difficult but great learning experiences. I am learning that when you don't know many words you better just ask questions!!!
Tomorrow will be much of the same. We love the people in our district and our teachers. They are each different and bring something special to the experience.
So far we aren't to crazy about the food but WEDNESDAY IS ICE CREAM DAY and you can't complain about BYU ice cream!
We miss you all: Jason and family--Thanks for following the blog! We love you all so much!
