There are so many nice people here at the dünenhof. (the place where my buddy spent the last year doing his civil service) they are all Christians around my age and about 4 or 5 of them speak very good english and enjoy speaking it. last night we went to a little town fair that was so small it was almost kind of sad, they crowned the “Flower Queen.” we all hung out and talked…it gave Dirk another break from speaking english and also let me tell so new people about video blogging as well as learn about their lives. One guy spent 9 months in New Zealand, one a year in Canada near Sarnia on a Chicken farm. Everyone here is so nice and helpful, they make sure to include me and inform me of what is going on. Christian fellowship is a great thing.
We went to a giant sail boat festival in Bremerhaven early this morning but it rained buckets so we were soaked to the bone and decided to leave. However, it was not that easy since we separated from two of the guys we were with, one who had our train ticket…so we sat around for a good hour on the train platform in sopping wet clothes shivering and then went to go look for them again. We finally found them and waited for the train together (grabbed a döner for lunch) and then took the train back. Everyone here says it is unseasonably cold and wet…which kinda sucks, let´s hope that the weather improves for our time in The Netherlands and Belgium.
From Cuxhaven Germany, (until tuesday morning)
This is Josh Leo.
tschüss!
Buy a Sweatshirt you dope. Get some warm clothes stuff them when your warm. The last thing you want is to get sick while traveling.
Good to hear you having a good time in Germany.
Looking at your videos, what software do you use?
How did you develop the beginning Josh Leo introduction? What software did you use?
Glad to hear you’re having fun. Can’t wait to meet some of these people when you get back through your vlog. You’re right about the Christian fellowship thing.
Hola from Quito, Ecuador!! We miss you, but we’ve been having a good time even without you . . . It’s kind of cool that we’re all not only in different continents, but ALSO in different hemispheres! so, the Spotlight team is DEFINITELY global . . . Hope you’re having a good time and we wish you were here! Buenas Tardes!!

Hi Josh,
I think people being nice to each other is a great thing. Fellowship is a great thing… but when you say Christian fellowship is a great thing, there’s a subtle implication there that non-Christians aren’t as “nice and helpful” as Christians.
Just some food for thought.
From one of your non-Christian vlog followers who’s nice and helpful just because…
I didn’t think that it was implied that non-Christian fellowship is a bad thing. If he would have said “fellowship is a good thing”, would all of the Christians be saying…HEY!!! He is implying that Christians aren’t nice and helpful.
I just got back from a trip to Germany that was very similar to yours. I stayed in the little village right near the Dunenhof by Cuxhaven with a family. Everyone was very nice. I just wanted to say I enjoyed reading your experience because it was so much like mine. We had a lot of the same opinions about Germany. I also had to have my German friend translate because I don’t speak German.
It is so weird to see this blog I had to write something!
