Switzerland Trek

Hey everyone! This is Sean Reyes checking in for a fun update of my time at L'abri.
Where to start is the question, so much has already happened merely in the two weeks I have been here! Lets see if I can start here...

My flight to Frankfurt was well enough I suppose, although when I arrived in Germany my preconceived notions regarding the simplicity to international travel were torn to shreds. However for the sake of being brief ( as I am paying to use the net by the minute) I will simply say that after a few bumps and a major case of Jet Lag I arrived at L'abri around 10pm or 22:00 to find the most wonderfully warm and kind atmosphere. The helpers are great, as well as the tutors, and of course the view itself is somthing perhaps one might only find in his dreams.Of course this is to be expected I suppose if the Swiss Alps are your backyard!

Of course as I delve into my studies (which I have settled on creation and Hermenutics as my points of interest) I have realized that I probably couldnt hold my own in an intelectual discussion of either of these topics especially the latter which I feel is very important. God is moving, and one thing I have learned with great intensity thus far is we may not always think we see Him, but He is there guiding and protecting us.

I plan on writting again soon, until then my friends and family I must bid you a very warm goodbye.

P.S. I had a day off today and was able to spend the day in Montruex and visited the most amazing 12th century castle...
