Christmas, New Years and New Job

Hi!
I haven't had the time to update in a while, so I'll try to tell you about the last weeks in a nutshell. 

CHRISTMAS went by way to fast.
My dad came to church with me for the Christmas service, which was great. My mom couldn't make it, but I was really excited that my dad came anyway. Please pray for him and my mom, as they aren't saved yet.
I spent the night at their house and we celebrated Christmas day together. Germans usually get and open their gifts on Christmas Eve, but since we are a half Scottish family, we do that on the 25th.
I got some neat stuff and was very thankful that  was able to spend the day with the family. 

For NEW YEARS EVE, Ines and I went to our friend Daniel's house to celebrate with some friends, but mostly people we didn't know yet. The evening started pretty dull, but turned out to be great after everyone got to know each other better. We had a great time of worship together later on, which I couldn't really be a singing part of, since I had a sore throat.
The next morning, well actually Ines and I didn't leave there till 6 am, so I guess we could say the same day.. we went back to watch movies with everyone and hung out together.

Now I am coming to the end of my 2 week vacation and will start working at a new school starting Wednesday. I am pretty excited and a little nervous now that it is getting closer.
I can't wait to see who I will be working with. I already know that another girl from church will be there to do a 4 week internship there, starting the same day as me, so that's nice. :-)

I'll try to update sooner the next time.

Love to you all!

Here are some random pics from  the last weeks:
