Talent Show

I tried to upload a video of Kelsey and me performing at the talent show, but it took way too long. Hopefully I can get a recording up on here, at least. Here are some pictures of other acts:

Nathan, Ethan, And Nick with a pop and RnB song medley.

Julia and Murray singing "Ring of Fire." She's holding a kazoo up to his mouth. . .

Hans with the Tauernhof version of "My Way" by Frank Sinatra.

Today most of the school went to Salzburg because there was a Christmas market.

There were lots of vendors selling food and toys and clothes and decorations. I hung out with Benni, Jan and Adam (DE, DE, US-Idaho), and basically just walked and walked and walked, occasionally talking when we had nothing else to do. I told Kelsey later that the day was pretty quiet and she laughed and unbelieving laugh. She hung out with American girls, probably as opposite as you can get of hanging out with German guys. There was a cathedral and a children's choir. . . and then we came home. Salzburg I have to soak up; one day of walking around doesn't cut it.

So, I can't remember if I wrote it in the last post, but EFG (Evangelical-Free "Gemeinde" [Fellowship], the church in Weimar, Germany where I'll be working after Tauernhof) has found me a place to live! Apparently I'll have my own room and entrance, but I'll be sharing a bathroom with a family. Sooo. . . I'll sort of have my own place. Wow, I just realized that this will be my first official "own place" . . . cool. :) Rent is totally covered, but I'm on my own otherwise. Hopefully I'll be traveling a tiny bit beforehand, possibly to Hungary, possibly to visit Tauernhof friends in Germany. For sure to visit Stephanie for New Year's Eve in Stuttgart. We'll see how things shape up.

Goodbye for now,
