Things I remember and how I remember them:

Surprisingly,  we were allowed to eat soup for lunch in spite of it being a so called Day of Prayer and Fasting.

It was during my candidates course at the mission HQ in Eppstein near Frankfurt.

If I am not mistaken, those Days of Prayer and Fasting were also advertised in the magazine of the mission.

And you never know what happens at a mission HQ.

I think we were just about to have our plate of soup, when someone cried, “Put more water into the soup, there are more visitors arriving.”
