Headed to Germany!

I am still not in Germany quite yet. For now, I am working at MLC so I can make money to travel while I am abroad. I fly out on the 31st of January and arrive on the first of February. I will be studying in Berlin and a university called FU-BEST. So far I feel a mixture of dread and extreme excitement. I don’t want to leave my family, friends, and fiancé, but I am excited for this huge adventure. One of my main goals is to put myself out there and have many fun experiences.
I have high goals for my time in Germany. I fully expect to have a very shaky start because of the language barrier, but one of my main goals is to become much stronger in my ability to speak German. In the beginning, this will mean I need to be more comfortable making mistakes and laughing at myself. I have taken German for only three semesters, so I am still a beginner in the German language. I will be staying with a host that can speak German and Spanish. I am very excited about this because it fits well with my Spanish/German program at MLC. My goal is to speak the least English I can while in Germany. I have been emailing my host in German and so far it is difficult. I am excited for the challenge though.
I am so excited to learn and adapt to German culture. One of my goals is to ask a lot of questions and learn about German culture. I expect people to be not overly warm and inviting especially at first. I want to become close with my host and make some new friends at my university. I want to travel and have new experiences with them and make many memories. I plan to eat all the food I can in Germany. I want to try all the culture-specific foods and learn about the foods Germans eat on a normal day. I already know breakfast looks a lot different in German than in America and there are different customs in the house. I expect to learn a lot about German culture.
Sadly I fully expect to have to watch church online for most of the time I am in Germany. Our wels sister congregation is in Munich which is 3 hours away. I do plan on traveling to that church for Easter and maybe some other services. It all depends on how my Sundays work out for traveling. Another one of my goals is to prioritize my faith life because I know it will be difficult while I am abroad. I expect to not have many Christians to surround myself with. I am taking a BHL class online while I am in Germany and I will do many devotions with my fiancé. I would also like to see if there are any churches near me that have similar doctrine to the wels. I want to come back to the United States with a stronger faith in God.
