The last days were really nice here, I got to know a lot more people and this evening I am looking forward to learn even new faces. It's the 3rd tuesday this month so the whole community in Arlington meets at 5pm and prays, talks and sits together and shares their feelings about the past.
This weekend I was granted the opportunity to experience an american barbecue and I have to say... it was plain awesome(besides "Miller High Life"..)! I am also getting used to the dirty and kinda smelly water here in the US. I think I will write a big blog post on Sunday or Saturday about the first one and a half weeks in 6th Street. Right now say, that I miss all my friends back in Germany and especially my family! But it's terrific over here so you don't have to worry about me.
Today I had my first meetings scheduled and it's still very exciting to be here. Finally Eva-Elizabeth, the Service Team Leader(STL) of 6th Street returned home from vacation, she is awesome and helps me a lot.
Paying for a coke at McDonalds(1 liter = 1.10$ including tax) with my visa card, eating the greatest burrito/wrap I've ever had in my entire life, setting up bank accounts, listening to all the great stories of the people with intellectual disabilities, getting an american drivers license.. it is still amazing and exciting!
Keep on reading, next post is going to be much better!
