On Tuesday we went to a school for students wanting to be in the hotel or restaurant business. When we got to their school we performed for them. After the performance we went and had drinks and cake with the teacher and her assistant. Then we were split up into groups and went into the classrooms and talked to the students. The students were allowed to ask us any appropriate questions and we answered them. This exercise was to help them use English more.

On Wednesday we were supposed to go to a music school to sing for them, but due to uncontrollable circumstances that was cancelled. So we went and sung on the streets and passed out flyers for several hours. As always, it was really enjoying and neat to see peoples reactions to our music. Once we were done, we had free time and were able to go do whatever we wanted. We basically had a girls "night". Taryn, Kimber, Amanda & I went to H&M and then went to the tallest building in Leipzig and went to the top to sit on the roof and enjoy the weather and the overlook of the city. We spent about an hour up there.

On Thursday we went to a school were students are studying to be different kinds of medical assistants (veterinary, doctor, etc.) We sung for over 100 kids and then broke into small groups and talked with them for about an hour and a half. After we were done there, we all went back to the LST Center to rest. We went to the Ronald McDonald house later that night where we helped to prepare dinner and ate with the parents of the sick children. We also performed for them. Let's just say it brought tears to almost everyone's eyes. I just pray that we uplifted them.

Today we went to a middle school to preform and then we broke into small groups again to chat with the middle school kids. It was a little harder to converse with them because their English is not as good as the older students. The conversation ran dry pretty quick - but Taryn saved the day several times. We then were free to go eat lunch. After lunch, we went to a hospital and performed for some patients. Several of them really enjoyed the concert - you could tell by their movements to the music and the smiles on their faces. After the concert, the lady who organized it gave us books of the city and lanyards with the hospitals logo on it. After that concert we had another one at a hospital for mentally handicapped patients. The patients were the nicest. When we got there, we had sandwiches and drinks waiting for us. Then as the patients would come in, most would greet us and try to start talking to us in German. It was so sweet. We performed for them and then we were on our way back to the hostel. Before we went to the hostel, Taryn & I went to this popular ice cream place and got ice cream to enjoy.
Tomorrow we have an off day until about 5. Taryn & I plan on sleeping in a little bit and then taking the Trams all over Leipzig and eat lunch at a somewhat fancy restaurant. Then we have to come back to practice for the concert and then it's SHOWTIME!
Here's to the last few days in Leipzig!
On a Mission for God,
Cherish
