I have been not too good during the last days. I turned on my tv by chance short after the second plane crashed into the tower, and I couldn´t believe it!! I was really worried cause my best friend, Jesse Smith, I don´t know if you know her, is at college in NYC. We just went down there three weeks ago to get her settled in her room, so I just saw the twin towers!! She goes to school on Long Island so I hoped she was there when it happened. I called her and her roommate told me she was at her classes, so I was really happy. But then I suddenly thought about my host sister, cause she is in NYC, too and she is doing street ministry and feeding the homeless and all that kind of stuff from her bible school. I knew she could be anywhere,cause they are always all over the city, so I started to panic!! I called my mom(hostmom) and she was panicking, too cause she had just heard what happened. I hung up with her, so that she could try and get a hold of Kelly (my sis), and I called my best friend here, and watched the news. It was so horrible, we saw the two towers crash down, life on tv. I was totally beside myself, and so I called my dad at work, cause I was home alone and I couldn´t stand that. He was in a really important meeting, and he didn´t know what happened yet. He tried to calm me down and was glad that I called. My two best friends in Germany came over later on to keep me company and we watched the news all the time. After a few hours I finally got a hold of my mom again, and she told me that Kelly was ok, but very scared. She was supposed to work at a church that day, but luckily they canceled it the day before, cause that church was totally destroyed when the towers came down!! I know that was God who made them change the schedule the day before!!!! So I was a lot better after I heard from mom!! I stayed up until 2:30am(your time 8:30pm), to see Bush´s speech.Then I finally went to bed. I was really tired in school the next morning!!! But now I will tell you what people are saying here in Germany. EVERYBODY is totally shocked and scared, no one ever thought of that!!!Everyone was watching the news all the time. They only showed news on tv and no commercial at all. They had huge extra services at churches in all parts of the country and it was packed everywhere. People layed down flowers in front of the American Embassy, and all flags were hanging on half( I dont know how to say that). In our school we had the American flag up with a black banner on the side, and yesterday at 10 am all Germany ahd a moment (2-5minutes) of silence to honor the people in America. they had it all over the country. The cars stopped in the streets, the factories stopped their machines, the radio was silent, it was awesome!!!I was in school, so I didnt realize that all the cars stopped and the people were stopping everything they were doing. I saw it in the news at night and it was really moving, so I cried, again!! I talked to mom and Jesse again two days ago, for like two hours, and they were doing ok. Today we had a moment of silence in all Europe at noon. Everybody here is thinking of America, and no one can understand how someone can do such a horrible thing!! Right now I am a little scared about a possible war, but I am praying that they will find a way to solve this with no more deaths of innocent people!! I thank you so much that you wrote!!!!! Are you still flying to Dallas?? Congratulations to your baby by the way, I am so glad that you guys are happy with her!! My host sister has a baby, too, she is 6 1/2 months and the cutest kid, I loved babysitting her a few times while I was there for the summer!!
