Bible Study started today

We have convo every Tuesday at 10:45 a.m.
Herr D starts convo.

The students listen.

The students elect Hannah and Jake as their SGA representatives.

After convo, I work in the faculty office, hold office hour, teach Psyc 250 (introductory statistics), and then walk to Essighaus for dinner. 

Sam takes this picture of me with some of the manly men of Heidelberg at Essighaus.

Sam gets into this picture.

After dinner, I walk to the University Library but it is closed, so I walk back to Moore Haus.  

When I am in the faculty apartment and awake, I usually leave my front door open so that the students know that they may come in.  As I am looking for an electrical socket in the living room to plug in an electric clock, I hear someone whispers outside my front door, "We should show her."  I walk to the front door and ask, "What should you show me?"  I see four students looking very natural in traditional German outfits: Kenny in leather lederhosen and Rachel, Laura, and Megan in beautiful dirndl.  I am impressed with the embroidery and fine details in their outfits. 


They look picture perfect!

At 8:30 p.m., the first meeting of Bible Study starts.  In line with the group's identity as Heidelberg Heroes, Bryan explains that Bible Study will focus on heroes from the Bible and how they serve as role models for the students in Heidelberg.
 

Micah talks about how Paul is a hero in his demonstration of patience. Then Micah leads the students in a discussion of how Christian patience differs from secular patience. She next asks her peers in what areas of their life in Heidelberg they can show patience.  The students gave thoughtful answers.
