There, I get to prepare the lesson for Tuesday\u2019s German class. In addition, there\u2019s an open conversation group on Monday mornings where I get to practice various everyday topics in German with a small group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesday mornings, the big German class meets at HelpNet. I get to teach a small class there. I enjoy supporting these people and helping them learn German\u2014it\u2019s a real privilege for me. I love interacting with people from different countries and cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Tuesday afternoon through Friday, I\u2019m mainly at the msd, where my responsibilities couldn\u2019t be more varied.<br>On Wednesdays, my tasks mainly involve office work, such as writing blog posts, checking and editing lists, and pitching in hands-on when it comes to helping parents with childcare or keeping the premises clean.<br>To help structure things a bit better, we like to use a list where every staff member can note down tasks for me, which I can then carry out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday goes on in much the same way, and I get to teach two more German literacy classes.<br>On Fridays, I mainly help out with camp activities. There, I get to help prepare, organize, and coordinate everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a tremendous privilege for me to be part of a team like this, where everyone shares the same goal: to lead people to Jesus and to his loving, fatherly heart. I find our morning prayer times\u2014when we take time each morning to focus on God and bring all our concerns to him\u2014to be consistently powerful, encouraging, and deeply unifying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since early November 2025, I have been doing my internship at msd and HelpNet.
