Sunday, May 23

We met once again this morning at the Ettenheim church where we were led by Ken in preparation for our part in the church service. The actual service began a little late because the pastor was stuck in traffic, but we shared some songs and Matt spoke about how we are all connected as believers even though we come from different countries. The sermon this morning, which was translated for us this time, was about how we should be artists for Jesus and be His image in the world as we go about our lives. After our final song, we were treated to another wonderful meal from the church, and then it was time to say goodbye. The congregation was so welcoming, and i think we all greatly enjoyed our time there. Our Destination for the day was Switzerland! Thankfully, the weather was beautiful so we could enjoy seeing all of the mountains as we drove through them. That is, until our bus overheated. We stopped on the side of the road for a while, but thankfully, everything was alright and we could continue our jourey. Finally after lots of tunnels, a few wrong turns, and many people staring at the tour bus driving through the small mountain villages, we reached Moron. We were welcomed at the church with glasses of mint tea and after a brief rehearsal, were treated to a fantastic meal of salad, sweet curry, cream puffs and fruit with cream. Though we were very full and extremely warm in the small church that was packed with people, our concert went very well and was greatly enjoyed by all. It was then time to meet our hosts for the night, and we all went our seperate ways and enjoyed food, conversation, and sleep.
