A Different Kind of Wednesday

Wednesdays typcially mean a full day of school, small group with my freshman girls, and starting to plan lessons and activities for the following week.
Not this week!
Yesterday was The Day of German Unity celebrating the reunification of Germany in 1990. It was so neat to talk with the students at our school on Tuesday about what this day means for them living in Germany and how blessed we are to live in a unified country. It is so neat to work and learn in a bilingual school! The national holiday also meant that we didn't have school on Wednesday and German students also have Thursday and Friday off.
It felt a bit different to have a holiday in the middle of the week, but it was so nice to have some time off to rest and have some fun with friends.

Here's what happens on normal Wednesdays:
Small group girls wrote our focus for the next week on pumpkins: keeping God first!

Love my small group girls!
Lesson planning with Amy (she didn't want to be in the picture!) haha

On this past Wednesday:
A trip to nearby Mulhouse, France to walk around with friends!
Cute little restaurant where we ate some French crepes!

Town square in Mulhouse!
Beautiful Cathedral.
It was so nice to hang out with friends and take a breath in the middle of this week. Even though I missed having small group! I am also so grateful to be living in Germany and for the cultural experiences I am able to have.
Today and Friday we have "English Days" where I just have my English speaking students in class and we can work on extra skills together and do special projects. It is fun to have a small class and do  some neat things together. I'm reminded again and again of what a priveledge it is to serve these students and serve the Lord here in Germany!
