Personal side note to mom...

We had an interesting experience while finding in Bierstadt (yes a place is called beer-city here). The first man we talked to asked us if we recognized him. We had never seen him ever before so we said no of course. He then announces " I AM HE!" We obviously aren't getting it so he said "I'm JESUS." He explained that he loves to write scriptures on the advertisements here in Wiesbaden so therefore he's Jesus. So that explains why on literally ALL advertising here there are scriptures scribbled on it. So there we go we found Jesus.

The next person was a woman who came up to us and said "OH YOU ARE MY SISTERS!" And grabbed us and pulled her into a huge hug. She was pretty tall and really strong so there was no kind of resistance. She then starts going on about how she doesn't eat pig and believes only in the Torah and believes in Jesus too, but not the New Testament. She was proud that she was not part of any church at all. The funny part was she was very animated and asked us "and why should we not eat pig?" And her little boy starts jumping up and down yelling "unrein unrein unrein!" (Impure impure impure). It was funny because she was so animated about pig meat and she had her little side kick next to her egging her on. The next question was "and what do the 5 husbands of the Samaritan woman represent?" (Referring to the one Jesus met at the well) and the side kick yells "I KNOW!" And the woman shhhed him and then he screams "FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES!" And starts dancing around screaming that again. I was pretty scared because she started dancing and getting close to my face and yelling five Books of Moses too. I just didn't know how to react and I was trying not to laugh. This might have been a "had to be there" moment, but just imagine the most ridiculous version of what I described and that should be accurate enough.

Today's a holiday again so we're going hiking!
