Out and About

In the little bit of free time I have, I try to go out and have some fun. Here are some of the things I've done so far.

Baking Trade Show - Set in the warehouse of a large baking supplies distributor, this is the most enjoyable trade show I've ever been to. Not only was there free food and beer, there's even a clown and musicians to keep you entertained. Of all the people there, the clown chose me to be his partner in his hat juggling act. I think the crowd was doubly entertained by the juggling and by my complete lack of German.







Confirmation - Was invited to a confirmation 2 weekends ago. It started with a church service in the morning, where the teenagers stated their commitment to follow Jesus. It was then followed by a celebration, which was 6 hours of almost-continuous eating and playing games. It was a lot of fun. Notice the brass band playing on the church tower.





Wedding / mini-Mercy Ships reunion - A couple from the ship got married this past weekend in Germany. The ceremony took place in a beautiful church, and was followed by a huge coffee and cake reception. I had the honour of making their wedding cake, and was relieved the cake made the 200km journey intact. There were about 10 Mercy Shippers there, and we had a great time catching up with each other. The wedding was in the wine country part of Germany. The typical landscape includes vineyards, rolling hills, open fields, and the occasional nuclear power plant.
