This video cracks me up everytime I see it. Probably because I know I am going to make so many mistakes in German. I do hope the Germans will forgive me when I try to speak and only butcher their language.

To get ready for our move, I have been listening to German music (no, not music that has people in Leiderhosen but German Pop) and to German radio (thank you iTunes). I’ve also been trying to read German newspapers - well actually the want ads for apartments. I have to say that my little German-English dictionary is getting a huge workout. But the real German aquisition will not happen until we make the move as the first six months of living in Germany, we will be taking German Language classes and trying to figure out how the trash works (Germany is a major recycler and we hear that separating the trash can be the biggest culture shock).

On top of learning German, I will also get the opportunity to learn other European languages. We will be living in Germany, but I will be traveling to the Ukraine where they speak Ukrainian and Russian. I’ll also get to work with people speaking Romanian, Portugesse, Spanish, Italian, Greek, English, and of course, France is only a few kilometers away. I have said since I was a kid that I always wanted to learn six languages but I think I might be pressing it a bit.

Then theres the scripting languages/mark up languages that I get to work in: PHP, ASP, .Net, Python, XML, DHTML, JavaScript and a whole lot more. eDOT is definitely going to be challenging work and we feel so honored that God has called us to be a part of it. We are so excited!!!!

To get there, please continue praying for the rest of our monthly support to come in. Today we reached commitments for nearly 75% of our monthly support and of course, we have over 100% of our moving expenses. Once we hit 90% of our monthly, we can buy plane tickets. Yeah!!! Thank you for your prayers!!
