Monday May 21: Anabaptists history

We started off saying good bye to our wonderful hosts in Wattenwill. We once again all loaded the bus to visit one of the caves e early Anabaptists met and worshiped in to stay hidden. Our bus driver Jean Paul impressively maneuvered our bus up the mountain side one lane road and around hair pin curves. We still had to hike back a little ways through a cow pasture to the cave. The time spent at the cave was great for reflection and praying. We had a short time of worship and taking communion. We then traveled a short ways to Thun where we climbed the tower of the Trachselwald castle where Anabaptists were held after capture and before they had been help in shackles. Our next short stop was at the oldest Mennonite church that is still active. Our trip ended for the night in Moron. Short rehearsal and delicious supper prepared us for our largest concert so far. Host stays were a great joy for most of us. -Hannah Bachman, Tiskilwa, IL
