This morning we sang at Martin's home church here in Wolbeck, which is outside of Munster. We made some money!! We put out donation baskets and got close to 700 euros for just this morning!!! We have another concert tonight at Martin's parents' home that was by invitation only and hopefully we will make some more money there.
In case you were wondering, 700 euros equals about $1,120 American dollars...not that I'm counting....
We sounded awesome in the second service....the first left something to be desired, but we had a lot of unforeseen things crop up...sickness, tiredness, lateness, not to mention is was very early....but we overcame it and performed wonderfully later on. I'm sure tonight will be wonderful too. We are getting it all on video so we can show all the "home viewers" later.
Yesterday we went to Cologne. It was pretty cool, but we had less than desirable weather. We went to one of the largest cathedrals in the world and to a chocolate factory, which happened to be closed by the time we got there. We did get to check out the giftstore though...good times. There was also a wine festival going on so we got to do some wine tastings al fresco. We also went to the Lego store, which I'm pretty sure was the highlight of the day for everyone. Then we had dinner at this really good authentic German place. The building was really old and we got to eat in what looked like a dungeon. Then we took a late train home.
Tomorrow 9 of us are going to Amsterdam for the day (myself included) and then on Tuesday we are spending one last day with our host families before coming home to our real ones! I like my host family a lot, but nothing compares to the original. :-) I'm looking forward to Southern cooking, ice in my Coke and central air and heat (all of which you cannot get in Germany). Oh and FREE REFILLS! They don't do those here.
We'll be home by 4:30 on Wednesday! See you all then!
