Favorite Bible Passage:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16 Confirmation was something I didn’t think would be as fun as I thought and it wasn’t it was even more fun, but it wouldn’t be as fun without my fellow confirmands, Pastor Mike, and my mentor Chuck Dexter. This year I learned more about God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, the Church, and myself more than I ever could have without confirmation. This year I learned that God works in very mysterious ways and I know this because before my family moved here because we got robbed and that was why we moved here. I felt like I could not connect with God at my old church and ever since we moved here my understanding of the bible and my faith have grown tenfold. I believe God works in mysterious ways and the situation my family went through, helped our faith grow stronger. Because of the issues we faced, our faith is very strong. Now because of that I want to help others as much I can in any way possible whether it is a conversation or a lunch at McDonald’s because you’d be surprised how one little thing could mean the world to someone else. I believe that we each have a purpose. I believe that we all have God whispering in our ears. I believe that we all can push past the limits of our faith. I believe that we all can be more than who we think we are. I believe that we can help others. I believe that God, who is our leader and creator, chose Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and to bridge the gap between our souls and the kingdom of heaven. I believe that Jesus is the gatekeeper to the kingdom of heaven and that he died on the cross so that we could have eternal life. I believe that I am being guided by the Holy Spirit to be more like Jesus. I believe that the

American Culture's Influence On German Culture

...described a misunderstanding with a business fraternity recruiter he met on the quad, who referred to him as a friend. In his head he felt that he was not his friend but an acquaintance. He got the impression that he was pretending to be like his best friend. They just met and had a brief chat about his journey to America as an international student. He did notice how friendly americans are how easy it is for americans to just say things that they really mean it. He feels Americans “ pretend to be friendly”. For instance when he gave his business card to the business fraternity recruiter and he says “awesome!”. In Germany it would just be thank you and not “ Awsome” because it’s an exaggeration to tahnk you. He noticed that feelings are exaggerated and not authentic. Compliments are so frequent and so ingrained in everyday life in the US. honesty is perhaps the greatest compliment, and that they find the American art of complimenting an exaggeration. There is a strong belief here that people in the US are superficial and thus their praise untrustworthy. Despite all the nuances in the American complimentary culture, one must consider it a compliment if you haven't been criticized." In other words, interpret silence as praise. Talking about the war to a german is a sensitive topic, even though many of the people directly involved in the war have already died and young Germans don’t really feel as much connection to or responsibility for the actions of the previous generations. Because...

...them were made of brick. I could see already that london was a lot bigger than Stavanger. We came to a hotel, called Picadilly hotel or something, because the hotel was in a place called Picadilly sircus. Me and my mum were both tiard after the trip, so we decided to relax a bit this first evening. We took the sightseeing bus and looked at all the nice buildings, and for me who is interessted in culture (buildings, nature and so on) this was awsome. The bus trip lasted for about one hour. In the beginning of the trip it was light and we saw everything perfectly clear, we saw big ben, buckingham palace, and a lot of other increadablebuildings. After some minutes it became a bit dark, and it was so nice to be on the sightseen bus, it was beautiful. A lot of light from all the buildings and bridges and so on. It was really an amazing journey just to sit on that bus.   After that bustrip the clock was around nine/ten, then me and my mum walked in the streets of london and looked at the nightlife. The clock was ten and it was already so full of life in london city. So...
