So there has been much progress in my German class. I am feeling more comfortable with my fellow classmates and have made two friends. We walk to the tram after class together and its quite perfect. They both speak Portuguese with each other, he speaks English with me and then she speaks German with me. It is probably quite comical if you were to walk past us. Then when he takes a different tram, her and I speak German (if that's what you want to call it...lol) together. Its nice because I can't speak her mother language and she can't speak mine, so we are forced to make sentences in German. They are not very good, but we understand each other. The good thing is that we both can understand Spanish...so when we don't find the word in German, we say it in Spanish. Lol!! I have grown to really appreciate our walks together.
The other day, I was finished with my work early so the teacher had me read a conversation in German with my classmate and he had to write down what I was saying. I really enjoyed it and the teacher even complimented my teaching abilities which got me thinking about a few things. I have quite a few things I have been praying about and feel led to follow through with some of them. I will be posting at a later time about that.
It really is as if I am watching this whole experience through the eyes of somebody else. It's such a surreal experience, being here in Switzerland. The culture is just so different. I am getting used to some of the changes. For example, I was on skype this morning with my Mom and she was making breakfast. When she pulled out the eggs, I was like wow! I totally forgot about how many eggs you can buy at once in America! Here they sell them in packages of 4 or 6! Lol! So little things like that amuse me. Life is quite different. I really wouldn't have it any other way though. Walking in the path that God has laid out for me is the only place to be :)
