We love Sundays. As I have mentioned a 1,000 times before, there are far more differences than similarities to living in Germany versus living in the States, BUT surprisingly our Sundays have not changed all that much.
1) We wake up and go to church. Our church in Germany is located on the US Military Base (the only church on base where we do not need to me affiliated with the Military to attend). We attend the Protestant, English-speaking 10:45AM service. It takes us about 20 minutes to get to church, but this is not a problem for us.
2) After church, we still go out to eat. And this week, we visited “Mandy’s Railway Diner” known for its American Cuisine and “American-like” atmosphere (see pictures below). The food was great and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We even got to listen to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack while we ate:)!
3) After we eat, we all enjoy a Sunday afternoon nap or quiet time with Elle (Matt and I rotate who gets to take a nap with Britta!).
4) After nap, we try and go for a walk or visit a park as a family. This is actually something we did not always do when living in the States. In the States, we would usually work on projects around the house or run errands. Since in Germany we do not want to put any money into this home and NO stores are open, we spend quality time as a family- this is definitely a positive aspect of living here!
5) Then in the evening, we usually grill something, play games and watch a movie (though usually us girls are “forced” to watch a NFL game via the UK Sky Network, but not this week due to the Super Bowl already being determined).
It was indeed a perfect Sunday. Now, onto Monday and a very busy week…love and prayers…

| Within the church are the 50 State flags on display. Do you see Iowa?? |

| Ending the meal with a favorite...ice cream. Though, we have yet to taste an ice cream that is as good as Papa Donavon's ice cream:). |
