Walking in a winter wonderland....on march 22

Well...it has snowed here in Leipzig for the last 2 days and today it is just pouring snow! Crazy German weather! They have had a really mild winter and i guess this is the revenge. The sad thing is that it isn't cold enough to really stick...but it is snowing hard enough that it is still accumulating...beautiful! I would put some pictures up but I can't connect my camera to this computer...maybe later.
I am still enjoying my time here in Leipzig even though without Dwane and Annalisa and Johnmark it seems to be missing a little something. I am really thankful for the friends I have made here too!
I went to a Toastmasters meeting on Tuesday night with Stephanie, one of the group that Dwane had English conversation with at the Ronald McDonald house here. The other 2 people in the group came too--Ina and Wolfgang. The club is a good idea (making speeches in general but also to improve your English) and we had fun but it was a little too formal for me. I did meet a guy from the consulate, Mark Wenig, who will hopefully be a source of information for me about the foreign service.
Last night Karl and Larry came for devo but no one else was in town so it was just us 3...good times anyway =)
I must go play in the snow...
Love to all,

Snow eh? Well I actually had a bit of powder Thursday as well. It happened to just be bits of fine sand, though. The beach was great, but a bit chilly. Nonetheless I skimmed until both ankles were sore and every muscle ached. Hope things keep working for you in Europe. The girl needing help for rent, reminded me of that night we went and bought those clothes for that little girl. Sounds like you're making the best of every opportunity.
