I am so sad to be leaving Leipzig! Yesterday I spent 4 hours or so in the park in this gorgeous weather with Caroline and her husband Sasha, and a bunch of his Russian speaking friends. I know it sounds crazy but it was so much fun. Bizarre too for me to want to have something explained to me in German because my Russian is practically nonexistant. We had such a great time, but I can't really get to know any of them because I'm leaving Monday. Comforting to know that God is still here.
I met with Roswitha for the last time yesterday too. She gave me the coolest present! It is a little cup that is made up of concentric circles so that it can fold down to about a half inch thick circle. She said that kids in the DDR times always had one. It will be incredibly useful for my trip! How awesome =)
A friend of mine sent me a few issues of the magazing The Economist and those are also going to be so welcome during the next few weeks as I get on long train and bus rides. Thanks Todd!!
Yesterday I also spent about an hour drinking coffee at the Children's hospital down the street with the head of the radiology department. He met with Dwane at the Ronald McDonald house and a couple other people to speak English. I had taken that over for Dwane but now that I'm leaving I guess they will have to find another native English speaker. Wolfgang is his name and we had a great chat about America and Don Miller books and hospitals in Europe. I even got to watch him do an ultrasound on a little boy's head. Very cool.
I'm going to miss this little internet cafe too!
Well, off to more adventures in His beautiful creation
