Shalynn and I had the opportunity to talk to the childrens’ Sunday School class at Tuckerfirst this past weekend. Not sure how much we really got through to them – although we did teach them the German phrases for “good morning”, “good bye”, and “you are a child of God”…
I can talk to college students about almost anything in two languages, but set me in front of a five-year-old, and I’m about as useful as Marta is efficient. Seriously, it takes 90 minutes to get to Midtown from Tucker?
At any rate, the TFUMC kids made cards for the students at Unterwegs. One girl addressed her card “To The Germans”. One boy wrote a list of his favorite foods inside his card and placed a footnote on the bottom: “Mail to Germany”. Another card is made from magazine headlines that were cut out and pasted in like a ransom letter: “Thank God a miracle, A Great Miracle. Love, Alex.” Thanks, kids :)
