Apparently if you have a baby in Germany and the first name is gender ambiguous, you are required to make the middle name gender determinant. So, if you move to Germany, don't go trying to name your kid Blake Jordan.

This past week, my teammates and I (minus Dan and Krista who are about to have their baby and therefore couldn't fly) had the immense pleasure of traveling to southern Spain for our mid-year conference. The girls and I flew into Malaga on Saturday afternoon and spent all of Sunday wandering around the city literally ecstatic at the sun and warm weather. Berlin doesn't exactly have tank top weather in January, so 16 degrees C was a nice change. We spent a long time marveling at this piece of Malaga beauty: After we stopped gaping at the Mediterranean Sea, we climbed up a giant steep hill to a fortress, from which we could see waaaay into the distance and all of Malaga spread out below us. Climbing a giant hill and soaking in natural beauty made us quite hungry, so we went for hot chocolate (more like hot pudding) and churros after the fort. The conference itself was wonderfully relaxing and fun. We had some good Bible teaching and worship time (in English!) every day, plus lots of stories from other STINT teams about how God has been working in their cities. It was very cool to hear about people from all over Eastern and Western Europe and Russia having real encounters with Christ and coming to know Him as their Savior. Needless to say, the week was restful and great. I'm happy to be back in Berlin and back to campus and all. I just wish I could have brought some Mediterranean sun with me. After a long absence on my blog, I return with two funny stories: |
