Off to Prague

Ashley and Olga left this morning
Ashley to Berlin to meet her sister
Olga back to Moldova

I will be meeting ashley in Prague tomorrow (with her sister and sister's friend)

Today I pretty much just relaxed, washed some towels, ate meals, walked into town, and now am watching end of the spear on my computer to fall asleep because I have to be up at 430am to catch my flight

I won't have my computer on me until Monday so don't try to reach me (you can text me if you want, but i won't be responding but would love to hear from you!)

I'm excited to go explore prague for a few hours alone tomorrow (going to see Europe's biggest Hard Rock!)

Well have a good weekend

<3 me


Toodles!

An Odd Day

Today i woke up after a full night's rest (praise the Lord) and started packing for Prague

I leave on Thursday and am getting excited..
I looked today and Europe's biggest Hard Rock is there so I can't wait to go get my pin!
(for those of you that dont know i collect pins from hard rocks around the world)

We cleaned our room and the bathroom here so that other guests can stay in our beds while we are gone

It's sad to see everything packed up :(

Olga, my roommate from Moldova, leaves tomorrow to go back home.

Ashley and I are going to Prague and then I'm coming back to Kandern and then MAYBE going to Amsterdam or Ireland, but MIGHT be staying in Germany and doing some exploring before I come home...Ashley will be going to Berlin for a few days and then meeting back up with me in Germany!

We both go home on the 26th and have to part ways :(

We had a lot of our friends come and say goodbye today, including my favorite German Insa.
It was sad to say goodbye to her, as I hope it is not the last time I see her, but she said I can stay in her apartment next time I come and be the kitchen elf!

Well that's all for tonight..take care!

A Little OUt oF It...

So last night i didn't sleep hardly ..yet again.
Audrey and I got up at 6:30 this morning to go on a 2 hour hike (total, there and back) to see some ancient ruins
We picked and ate wild berries on our way and got to enjoy the great outdoors (alright no..i'm not an outdoorsy person, don't be fooled)

We got back and I filled out my application for Youth for Christ and sent it in
I had the opportunity to talk to Beckie Melli about the organization again today and talked with one of the recruiters who decides who is accepted into YFC
I will continue to pray and see where God leads!

Audrey showed me how to make a book using an old book binding and we did that for awhile

We had dinner and sent Audrey off about 10 minutes ago :(
It's sad to see the first intern go

I'm a little out of it today from lack of sleep and am getting a little down so prayer for encouragement is greatly appreciated!

Here are some pics for you to enjoy (sorry there haven't been any the last couple days)


I needed proof that I made it to the top


The beautiful tower/ruins!


Audrey on our hike!

Sunday Bloody Sunday

So today we had a party to show off the art work we've done while here/say goodbye and thank you to the people we've met while we've been here

One of my roommates Audrey is leaving tomorrow so we wanted to get a chance to say goodbye while everyone was still here

I sold a piece of jewelry which was exciting for me :)

We had a bit of reflection over our time while here over Chinese dinner and my roommates and we just finished watching National Treasure together

Going to bed now..Night folks!

OUch!

Okay so if you read my post yesterday you saw that i hurt my foot..
well it turns out its worse today and has been very hard to walk around..i think i might have broken/sprained/twisted something
gah! it's very annoying.

Anywho..we went to the pool today and had a picnic and got to relax and read a little bit which was great
I was reading some of 1 Corinthians and was kind of surprised at how much we have compromised in the church since those days...just a thought that came to mind

We came back and i worked on some ink drawings, possibly for the Peace Project that thewhole9.com is doing to promote peace and raise money for Sierra Leone


We then ate dinner where we talked about risks and then the discussion turned into a debate on whether or not organizations can be considered a church, people sitting in a circle could be a church, etc. so i got up and did the dishes because I'm too opinionated without enough research or passion to debate on such topics!

WE just enjoyed ice cream and will probably watch a movie shortly, as always!

PS HAPPY BDAY STEF, RYLAN, AND PEYTON!!!
<3 YOU!

have a good day everyone!

Beauty and the Beast


Today we went to Riquewihr, France which is a small town in France that resembles the town in Beauty and the Beast (where Belle lived)

Ashley and I shared this pizza like thing with cheese, cream cheese, onions, and bacon for lunch and then got a scoop of gelato for snack haha. Both were quite delicious

The town was pretty cool, but unfortunately i kind of twisted my foot so i wasn't a fan of walking around too much today, plus it was super hot.

We then went to this other town in France that was set up in a snail like shape, a swirl going from big to small
I sat and waited for the group as they walked around because my foot wasn't wanting to walk wah wah

We got home and had some dinner..well i shared mine with the little boy from upstairs Rafi (who i want to marry my niece)
HE ate most of my dinner so i didn't eat much, but that's alright haha

We are now thinking about watching beauty and the beast since we visited the town

Unfortunately for you i took film pictures, so unless i steal some from ashley you won't be seeing them!

Au Revoir
