First full day at Bode. Breakfast. Lots to do after.
Steph, Lia and I went with the group to play soccer on the turf field that's a 5 minute walk from school. Turf is sand instead of rubber-Steph scraped her knee off =P We were told we were much better players than the girls from last year. Thanks Trent!
After soccer, showers then German BBQ out back with traditional ribs, very good.
Steph and I discussed how it seems to feel almost like a camp so far. The permanency of it hasn't set in yet, and since we haven't gotten into lessons yet, it hasn't become real. There seems to be a lot of pressure that we've put on ourselves to get to know everyone, memorize names, be social. It seems crazy that we've only been here for one day.
Everyone is very nice though, many people from Canada, several from the US, a few from Germany and then one from Serbia and another from Israel who seem to be a little overwhelmed with the onslaught of immersion in their second language but are getting along fine and fun to talk to.
Finished the night off with a worship service and a sharing of testimonies. Very impactful and encouraging.
My adrenaline from sleep loss is wearing off and I needed to go to sleep soon after the service.
