Christmas in Freiberg

Christmas in Freiberg was great! The Kuhn family has decided to adopt me and never let me leave :) I had a wonderful time with my house-mate, Elly and her parents. I stayed with them in Freiberg for a week catching up on some German homework that was dying to be completed, letters and sightseeing! We saw lots of forests, snow, castles and churches. It was such a blessing to have a wonderful family to spend Christmas with. I was able to SKYPE with my family and even got to see the little kiddos open their gifts on Christmas morning. Who would have thought! It was great to have a break away from Dresden. Back in the swing of things again :)

Coffee and Cakes

Right before Christmas a group from the Bible School stood outside the unemployment office handing out free Coffee and cookies. It was definately one of my favorite things! Being a foreigner definately helps initiate conversaions! It was a lot of fun joking around with folks, getting people to try my home-made 'American' cookies, and I also had several meaningful conversations and handed out three Bibles. One woman even broke down in tears because the coffee and cookies blessed her so much! Really sweet! Even simple things like a free cup of coffee on a cold day really matter to people.

Blessings!
