munich.
a group of 13 of us went to munich for travel weekend. it truly was a great weekend. the weather was fantastic and the group of us stayed in one hostel room and had a great time. here are some photos from that weekend.
hallstatt.
i got the lovely opportunity to go to hallstatt again. first time was blue sky and warm weather, this time was overcast, a little rainy and cold. but it is still a lovely little town. we got to spend the day there and wander through the main street there. much more than i got to do the first time. it was a great time to spend with my roommates in a different place than our room back at tauernhof.
outreach in reutlingen, germany.
about two weeks ago now, a group of us, 8 students and 1 leader, travelled about 475 km from schladming to reutlingen. on our drive there, we went a speed i had never gone in a vehicle before, shared our testimonies with each other and stopped at mcdonald's for fries and mcflurries. on wednesday night, we were introduced to the church that we were going to be working with for the next 5 days. on thursday, we went to two grade 7 classes, a university, and did some street evangelism with our flash mob to "call me maybe". on friday, we cleaned up a city playground, and some more street evangelism. on saturday, we did a family event that had face painting, balloon animals, games, coffee and cake. we also went on a "little" hike up to the lichtenstein castle which was beautiful and hung out with our host families in the evening. on sunday, we went to the church service and also led some sunday school classes. we drove to another city for a youth church service.it was quite the adventure and i have learned that autumn in germany is my favorite season. ever.

schladming: the changing colors of autumn.
can i just say, i think autumn is my favorite season. but i think i say that to every season when it's just starting.the colors here in schladming are sooo beautiful, it just takes my breath away. yesterday, it had lightly rained and i had always wanted to take some photos of a tree behind our lecture hall because of it's bright yellow leaves. on the way there i was stopped by the raindrops on the grass and the leaves. i couldn't believe what i saw. it was all just so exciting and of course i had my camera so i took many photos. the raindrops were like glass, so perfect. it made me happy :)
