Spring is definitely here in Chemnitz! We have really been enjoying the sun and beautiful weather. I especially love this time of year because of the blooming trees and flowers. It is so amazing here in Germany.
Around Easter time it is a big holiday time in Germany. Karfreitag/Good Friday is a national holiday and no one has to work or go to school. We were able to relax and enjoy the day.
We started out Friday by going to Jacqueline's house. I have been reading in English with her for almost a year now. She and her husband invited Clint and I over for breakfast. We had a really good time eating all the wonderful food and talking with them. After breakfast Jacqueline and I read in the Let's Start Talking Luke book.
Later in the day we went on a walk with the Sullivans and enjoyed coffee time together. The picture is the Sullivans in front of a beautiful blooming tree right next to their house. Even Snickers was smiling! :)
On Sunday we were invited over to the Sullivan's for lunch and it was nice to share a meal on a holiday with our coworkers. We always enjoy the time we have with them. After a short nap (it's a must on Sundays, right?) we met with the Sullivans again along with Stefan and Martin, a friend who came to visit us. We went on a walk (which is a Sunday afternoon tradition with the Sullivans) and had coffee. (Do you see a trend here?) After coffee we headed over to Jacqueline's house again. She and her husband had invited us over for dinner. We made Russian food with them and their friends and played games as well. We had a lot of fun and got a lot of German practice. :)
Ostermontag/Literally translated- Easter Monday is also a national holiday so once again we had a nice relaxing day. We went to work out at the gym with Stefan in the morning and then we went to Stefan's house for lunch. In the evening we grilled with the Sullivans and Cantrells for the first time of the season! It was so yummy, but the weather was actually chilly that day, maybe a little too chilly for grilling outside. But, it tasted good and we had a good time!
So that was our Easter weekend! I hope you all had a great time as well!

I love seeing the pictures and hearing about your adventures! I long for a time I can do something like that.
Some people at Wilshire are hoping to get a singing group together to learn new songs that come to us... We we wondering if you still had that song that you taught us in the College Class? If you had an electronic image with the notes to send to me, or post here at your blog, that would be great!
We miss having you guys here, your influence was probably greater than you know. Keep up the good work where you are, though. That is a great influence as well.
