Day 73: A Newly Found Bible Study

'My child, don't lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them, for they will refresh your soul. They are like jewels on a necklace.' ~Proberbs 3:21-22

My grammar class was, again, extremely tedious (I crochet during class...how bad is that?!?!), but we got out early and I got to go home before getting back on the bus to go up to Fichtenweg to try out a bible study that I saw advertised in the international building. I hate walking into a new place/meeting by myself when I don't know anyone. It's so scary, but after I sat down and the meeting continued I wasn't so horrified. We sang from an international phrase book in English, German, Chinese and Korean...it was interesting and I enjoyed it. Then we all split into 2 groups; english and german and read a passage from Luke and discussed it. I so loved being in a bible study again and I think I may make this one a habit, but there are a few more I would like to investigate. I met some new people outside of Start Kurs, which was really encouraging because I feel that I really need to meet other students outside this little circle the international students have formed from the early days of the Start Kurs.

I've been looking for a bible in German...they are really expensive, but I feel that it will help me with learning the language when I float betweent the english and german study groups.
