Germany or Bust!

Hey Everyone,

I landed safely yesterday morning. Things are very different here! The buildings are very beautiful, and so far people have been friendly but haven't spoken much English. I am in a very nice and cute apartment literally across the street from the school, which is very nice. Inevitably, there have been some challenges- all of the electrical outlets here are different! All of my electrical appliances are dead, and I need to buy an adapter. I went out this morning and walked around and discovered that because it is a german holiday today, many shops are closed, including every computer store that I have been able to find. However, I should be able to find one tomorrow. I am at an internet cafe at the moment- there was a very nice man working who listened to  my broken German and helped me to operate the computer. I've been praying a lot, and it has given me a lot of peace, I know that God is guiding me as I navigate this unfamiliar territory. I'm thinking of all of my friends and family, and missing you all very much! As soon as I find an adapter I will put up another post with pictures from the airport and of the city!! I am praying for you all! Thanks for all of your kind thoughts and prayers, I know that I am not alone here. I received a beautiful book from my family the night before I flew out that was filled with words of kindness and wisdom. It was such a blessing to read their messages, it helped me to be brave during my first transatlantic flight! Anyways, I will be posting pictures very soon, I hope all is well!
