Gooten Daagen

Good day to the other world.

So, Freiburg is situated just on the edge of the eerie and foggy Black Forest...the same forest that Hansel and Grettle story takes place/

We are very much on the border of Germany and France and Switzerland...so the other day we went to a castle in France...and it was awesome! Very Very beautiful. and really really cool.

Then we drove around france until we found a restaraunt...and i got to order pork's knuckle...which i think is the foot of the pig ... but it was good...

today we are going to drive to a small town outside of freiburg ... which is good...cuz freiburg itself is more of a university town than anything else...but i am still so thankful to be here.

i think sometime next week, me and miriam are going to take a day trip to switzerland... .... just to Bassel...where there are many art museums..so she is excited ...lol

ok. love you all...maybe post some pictures later

To Post or Not To Post

Hello world.

I'm no longer in Israel...which is sad to me.

But now I'm with my little sister...and that is super super awesome! I got to Germany yesterday, after a day full of flying.

My last night in Israel there waas a bomb scare on Zion Square...just a scare though. They shot this backpak until it was just shreds...then they brought out this arm/crane thing and picked up the bag...ran over it a couple times...and then decided it was safe to carry on with celebrating another Shabbat. An experience...probably one my mom dddoesn't like hearing about too much.

But now I am in Germany. I haven't decided whether to keep posting or not...but it looks like we'll have internet here at the room...so maybe. we'll seee.

I'm sad to be out of Israel...it was such a trip for me...wow. I am thankful.

bomb scare at Zion Sq.

dancing and celebrating...jerusalem style

I Miss My Family and Friends

Hello people who look at my pictures and read my stories. I like you too.

I am oh so excited to get to see my little sister in Germany soon. I have ... 3 more nights in Israel ... then I get to be with Miriam and my Dad it will all be good.

I am still staying with this Believing family in Jerusalem. They are housing/feeding me for free. It is their ministry...they just open up their home and then take whoever stays with them on tours.

I am thankful for it and them.

The other day we went to the House of the High Priest Caiaphas, where Jesus was first taken and 'tried' after his arrest. The house itself is not there. A 'church' now stands where it did. But there are caves underneath the house...that are/were prisons. You could tell because the columns of the caves have these holes drilled through them, so that they could chain people to the columns. There are also holes hollowed out of the high part of the wall, as if to chain someones arms up to beat them.

All of this is archaeoligically dating back to the time of Jesus. He was imprisoned in that dungeon, chained in those spots, and thrown into that pit.

We sat in the pit and sang "How Great Thou Art"

what can wash away my sin

nothing but the blood of Jesus
