Friday found the German Young Ambassadors in Westerville, near Columbus...with our friends of Westerville United Church of Christ. The Rev. Sigrid Rother is one of the pastors there. She organized a gathering at a local restaurant to...sadly....watch Germany fall to France in the Euro Cup.
Andreas put it in perspective...."It's only a game." (Though I suspect that sentiment would be difficult to convey in Germany....still.....the game and the food were enjoyed.)
Our group goes to WARM for work!
Friday morning the group went to WARM....a Westerville food pantry for those in need.

Friday was a day with Westerville UCC and then with families in their homes. Our thanks to Rev. Sigrid for the kindness of greeting and hosting our German Young Ambassadors.
I was relying on Sigrid and American host families for photos since I was not with them today.
Saturday is a "Free" Day with host families in Dublin and with members of Dublin Community Church.....you'll see results of the day posted soon.
Peace, Bob
