Another potluck in which our course students and their families and Germans from the LU Mennonite Church share a meal and spend the afternoon together. I was impressed that a Syrian family invited their neighbor (front right) to join us. She is obviously a German who is willing to engage and become part of their life. I enjoyed meeting her.
There was lovely interaction on many levels - Lena proud of her rainbow, Jenny proud of her cake, and Brigitta enjoying both. When I'm home I'll be able to tell you about a special interaction in each of the pictures below.
This Potluck is a good thing that Greg
started. It started at 1 p.m. And the last people left at 5 p.m.!
We've been
brainstorming a bit about all the other projects that are needed: help
with setting up and learning to use the internet/email to speed
integration, assistance in improving parenting skills, improved
schoolwork assistance including accompanying parents to teacher conferences
etc.
The right people need to
step forward. That's our prayer.
