Hey !  

During the week I live now in Marburg, a really nice and small town, one train-hour from Kassel. I like it very much and already got to know people- some who are studying with me, some who go to a Christian group. What I do now? I study- how I planned- pedagogics/ educational science. I hope you understand what I mean. Itīs not becoming a teacher, but later working with kids or young people or mentally or intellectually disabled people or..., so itīs a kind of social study, what Doerte thought of, too, but not exactly the same. Okay, I hope itīs not too confusing what I tried to explain.

After thinking such a long time about what I want to do, Iīm really happy with my choice. And I feel so much comfortable in Marburg.

Already the first day there, God blessed me: I prayed before that I would get an opportunity to witness openly to others and that evening we went out with a few of us and I met a guy and we talked more than 2 ( two!!!) hours- thatīīs not quite normal for me!
I started to tell him about the Anastasis, Africa and so on and he told me about a trip to India he just finished before. So we could share our experiences with Third world countries and he was really interested in the ship. I found out that he had joint a chtristian youth organisation, he once was fully into it, but he got doubts about the whole thing and now he is studying geography- so he learned a lot about evolution and believes that it is the truth.
We talked about homosexuality, women in the Bible, other religions and Jesus as the only way to God, the existence of God itself. Oh my bird, it was hard, interesting, an experience. Afterwards I couldnīt believe that I talked such a long time with him. Now I pray for his salvation and I never felt like this before about it, how urgent it is and how important for his life. I think itīs the first time, God really showed me how He feels about lost souls and His pain must be so much more! The whole experience was somehow encouraging me and on the other hand affecting me that I want to pray for him etc.

On weekends I still go home but I guess itīs gonna change because in Marburg there is such a good church with services on thursdays but also programm on sundays- and on sunday evenings an English ( worship) service-yeahi !!! 

 My adress in Marburg is:    
	Untergasse 16
        35037 Marburg
	e-mail:  Sippel@stud-mailer.uni-marburg.de

But you can still write to my old adress.

The last days I often thought of what I did one year ago and I just canīt believe that already such a long time went by.

I miss you and hope you are all doing fine.

God bless you all and holds His leading hand over, under, before and behind, besides and around  you.

With love,
Ulli-Bulli
