We got our visas a few days ago! Now we're officially allowed to be here after the next couple weeks :) We had been told horror stories about how strict the German government is about all of the paperwork necessary for getting your visa, and how you never seem to have everything they want from you, but we didn't have any problems! Neither Ryan or I have ever had a visa before so we're pretty excited about how fancy they make our passports look :)
I'm trying to think of anything new that has been going on.... oh! We're done with language school in a week and a half. While we were in the middle of it I know there were times where we longed for our classes to be over (at least I did anyway), and now that they're coming to a close, I wish they weren't! We have made so many great friends through our German classes and have learned so much. I'm afraid that I wont see those friends anymore or be able to keep on improving my German. Of course I know God will provide the opportunities for us to stay connected with our friends even after we're done... and there are still plenty of opportunities to learn and use our German, it's just a bit sad to know we're done soon. BUT not having our classes everyday will allow us to do so much more with the church, which is also very exciting!
Blessings to all of you and thank you again for all of your thoughts and prayers!
