everything i was told was wrong.  the city was definitely not completely destroyed during the war and it was on the eastern side of Germany. i stayed in the strangest flat that made me feel like i had walked into something from the turn of the century (only it was quite warm and the bathrooms… Continue reading

you asked me if i’d want to go. yeah, i would.  we’d drive nine hours together and at some point you’d make me sit in front of the steering wheel as you sleep.  i’d listen to one of my mix’s and you’d wake up to be surprised at the length of it.  we’d arrive at a hotel… Continue reading an answer to my sister

– louissa leaves in six hours for one more outreach.  this one takes place in a city that was completely bombed and destroyed during the war and is at the very north end of germany (completely opposite of where she currently resides).  she loves outreach and is looking forward to it.  she’ll also be in another… Continue reading update on louissa

we sat for two hours and forty-five minutes just so that we could see beyonce and keith urban both sing.  it was by far, the cheesiest tv show i have ever sat through and watched.  after sitting through one show americans would never turn it back on.  i don’t know if that means that we’re… Continue reading

i stole the pastor’s keys thinking they were from my group. i got stuck in a men’s bathroom stall because of all the men surrounding me. i was told to be quiet (again) by an older woman who i don’t know. one pastor forced every kind of disgusting cookie down my throat all because he… Continue reading my weekend

selfish?  me?  no, never. distracted?  why would you think such a thing? prideful?  now we’ve gone too far. i’m at Bible school.  the place where one is supposed to be meditating on the goodness of God, learning more about Him, and learning what it is to really love others with His love.  funny that i’ve… Continue reading

there is a black piece of luggage somewhere out there waiting for a red haired girl to find it.  it is a completely unmarked piece of luggage because it’s owner can be rather ditzy at times (a nicer way of saying she’s rather irresponsible, but don’t worry — at this very second she’s beating herself… Continue reading needed
