Rødding so far

This past week has been pretty tough.
I really miss home.
The danish kids kinda stopped to talk in english and all they do is speak danish to each other.
The teachers said that they will stop translating everything in a few weeks. It seems impossible to understand it. It doesn't sound like anything else.
After 3 weeks, I can get out maybe a few words, from what they are saying, but I ca
n't even guess the context.

I have 4 danish classes a week, and for every class we have to memorize 25 words. It's a lot, but my roommate said my pronounciation is good. So there is hope:)
This sunday a biked to church. 5,5km each way, not a big deal. They live in the town next to us. They are a married couple in their 50's, the lady is american and the guy is danish. They have been doing ministry in the past 7 years here in Denmark, but the church has only like 5 members. They were really happy to have me. The service went from 2pm until 6pm. They asked me at the end of the Bible
study if I want prayer for healing. I was just going to say, that yes for my gluten allergie, but then one of the guy was keep asking me, if I have pain in my back, because he feels like he needs to pray for that. So they made me sit in a chair and lifted my legs, and then he just started to say "come out in Jesus' name"..I was like thinking what should come out. Then he was like "Yes, I see it, is growing"...???
So eventually he said that my legs were like 1inch uneven and thats why I have pain in my back. But I don't even have pain in my back.. so ya then they prayed for my gluten allergie and then they wanted to feed me with bread, but I decided not to eat it...
It was kinda crazy, but the teaching was Biblical, so I'm praying if I should go n
ext week or not.

Every weekend at the school they have crazy parties- every kid gets so waisted
, is really bad. So I don't really know what to do. Because I'm good friends with most of the girls, so they all come, before the parties, to our room get ready, then they want to drink with me. The past 2 times I just said no, but its really hard.

My roommate is a really sweet girl. We get along really well. Sometimes I feel like
I'm her mom. I have to clean up after her all the time, but its kinda fun. I shared my testimony with her, but she is not really opened to spiritual things. I hope that I can impact her l
ife in some wa
y.
Danish people in general are really weird. The boys are really feminim, and the girls are pretty boyish. Most of the girls say that they asked their boyfriends out on dates. They said
most of the times boys don't hit on girls but its the opposite. Is pretty strange. And then they say that most of the time if a mom has a baby, probably the dad will stay home with the baby and the mom goes back to work. It feels like the roles totally changed.

I have 95 days left here. I'm trying to enjoy it, and not to think about how much do I want to leave. Everything is so expensive here that I already spent all of my money on food and travel. Kinda crazy.
We are leaving for France in a few weeks. :)
