Last Days Part 1

Today was a really good day.  Olivia and I played Let My Words Be Few.  I really love that song.  It's one of my favorite songs to sing.  I think playing with her has really helped my rhythm.  After worship, Jenna and I went out and shared together.  The lady we talked with at lunch was really nice and seemed interested to talk about spirituality but had to leave for work.  When we went back to the the Sud Mensa, we talked with a girl for five minutes but she didn't seem interested in knowing or desiring God.  That was a little sad, but each will come to God in their own time.  After that quick convo, we talked with this girl Constance.  She seemed so very interested in know God.  It was great.  We talked for about an hour and it all came so naturally.  She said she hoped to believe in heaven and that God existed but she wasn't convinced yet.  We told her that we can and that we were with Campues fuer Christus (its the German name for Crusade), and she said she thought we were because she met a guy a year ago who came up and shared the gospel with her and helped her reach the point she is at.  It was great to see that she still desired to know God and was talking with his guy.  We didn't talk for much longer since she had an exam but said she wanted our emails since we're leaving Wednesday.  It really made our day.

This evening, we went to the Olympic Stadium.  It was incredible to see the place where Jesse Owens won gold medals and where Hertha Berlin SC plays.  I sat there just in awe, realizing who am I to complain about grades or dating when a man such as Jesse Owens could stand there in persecution and perform; who am I to not rejoice daily and praise God at the top of my lunch since I do not have to worry about anything.  It was a very humbling experience.  

When we got back to the hostel, they were having a dance-party and Jenna, Alyssa, Kayla, and Austin convinced me to join them in dancing for a little bit.  It was fun.  I definitely do not enjoy dancing, but I really enjoy hanging out with them.  I'm going to be sad when I don't see those people daily when I come back to the states.  Along with Kenny and two of the male leaders, Micaiah and Doug, those are the people I'm closest to here.
