Heidelberg, Germany~~

Well, if you have my facebook, you probably knew that I went to Germany last week to attend the student convocation and spiritual convocation. For this week, I learnt about how to study bible...We were taught by the preacher and preacher-to-be from UK in theoretically, after that, they gave us some "housework" so that we can practically use the methods we had been taught...

Observation:
Read through a passage in the bible, observe the passage whether it is complete story or not, and then get as much story line as we can...

Analyse:
After observation, analyse the passage or versus by using Where, Who, When, Why, What and How.

Explanation:
Using bible versus to explain bible versus is the best explanation...

Application:
Applying examples or telling how to do so that people can learn the lessons in the passage and apply it into their lives...

On 28/03/2010, I didnt sleep for the night because the daylight saver (one hour set forward), I took a bus to the airport...It was a cold morning and the road is turning into silence mode...It was just 6.30am...I reached the airport about 9am, and I waited for Johnny (preacher-to-be) since we were travel buddy to Germany...

We took Lufthansa Airline to Frankfurt, Germany, and I found out, the aeroplane is very small, just like the MAS small plane travel from Penang to KLIA. Anyway, I cant complain much about it, although it was really small and spaceless. After an hour and a half, we reached Frankfurt airport at 1pm. Then we waited for a shuttle bus to Heidelberg for 2 hours.

Because it was sunday, the street was very quiet until I can hear the bird's singing...Johnny tried to call someone to pick us up to the church, but there were no one answer the phone, so Johnny decided to walk to church with luggage (burdens)...After 20 minutes walk, finally we reached church. It is an apartment, with 2 rooms and 1 dining room. It doesnt look like a church but in bible says that, when they are 2-3 persons get together and say "in the name of Lord Jesus we pray" Jesus will be there...The one who opened the door for us is Sis.Siglinde, who is Pr.Ko's wife and she is German...She speaks well chinese (impressive)...

After a few talks and introduction between us and other brothers and sisters, we had dinner together and prepared for the next day. At that night, I realised that I need to prepare a presentation (sermon) for the student convo and they arranged me on the next 2 days...1 sermon in 2 days...Fortunately, I remembered I wrote a sermon in my blog (Wall & Bridge) so I took it and elaborate it...

The next day, we woke up early in the morning, and Johnny took me to the city "street" in Heidelberg...Its located beside a river and surrounded by mountains and it is beautiful...You can see it in my facebook photo album...After that, Sis.Siglinde brought us to the uphill because there is hostel there where our convocations were hosted...From there, I can see the river and the city...

During the week there, I met a lot of members who live in Europe country such as Germany, Holand, Austria and Italy. They treated me very nice (of course, they are my bro and sis) and the food was very delicious (Taiwanese Beef Soup Noodles!!!). I was also scheduled to do some duties such as cleaning toilet and kitchen, washing plates and etc. Well, I am not complaining because they are actually giving me chances to get blessing...Then I found out, in Heidelberg, all the citizens have to catagerise the wastes and rubbishs and throw it into different bins...Impressive again, they are environmental protectors and we should learn from them...Therefore, I learnt what wastes are catagorise in biomass, plastic, papier (paper) and etc...Bones are not biomass, it was general rubbish, because its hard to dissolve bones...Interesting?

During the week, I saw many mix-blood children at the church, which I never see so many at the same time...They are cute...haha...

Anyway, my ticket to Germany is worth to its price...I gained a lot and knew a lot of friends...Hopefully I can go there some days in future if and only if I manage to find a job in UK...XDXDXD

PS: The effect of the week is I woke up automatically at 8am....haha...
