More good things



Oh yeah, frost on the ground in the mornings. Snow is not far behind. I think I'll enjoy it.

Dierk came this weekend and brought me a HUGE pumpkin! It's around 30 pounds I think. Ooooohhhh I'm excited to dive into those guts and toast some seeds. Whooo hooo! Thanks Dierk! In return I gave him many apples from our garden. :)



So our speaker Rogerio was really awesome if I didn't say that already and our speaker this past week couldn't get her VISA and our speaker this week had an emergency so the poor staff has been having an interesting time here. I think I'll have a lot more to say starting this week since I think we'll be finding out more information on Monday and Tuesday.

DTS Week 2

Pretty much more Youth Without Any Management. But lots of meetings. It's ok.

So I'm really enjoying my time here. I absolutly love Germany and I love experiencing a real Fall. Leaves crunching under my feet everyday is sweet. I'm super bad at speaking German still, but I'm having a great time trying. We have different speakers each week. Here is our list of speakers:

Rogerio Santos (Brazil)
Colleen Milstein (S. Africa)
Edwin Filles (S. Africa)
Lisa Cuellar (USA)
Wilson (S. Africa)
Dan Baumann (USA)
Susanne Merz (Germany)
Mike Oman (Zimbabwe)
David Gave (USA)

So maybe Jamie (my cousin) has heard of some of these people, but I haven't. I'm sure I'll learn all about them soon.

But yeah, things are great. I don't see how they can be bad when you are fed and have a bed and live with nice people and work in a castle in a forest taking photos.

I had another interesting thought. So my mom has a child in asia right now (Brock is in China for the next 2 weeks) and a child in Europe (me!). Way to go Mom!

Blessings,
Bryn

DTS starts

YWAM - Youth without any management.

So I know Jamie can appreciate that acronym. I moved into town which I'm grateful for and I'm very excited about my roommate who is a sweet 31 year old German chick from Saxony. Nice. I think we will learn a lot from each other.

Not really much to say except I've been really busy moving and preparing for the 50 more students who arrived this weekend and I've been busy avoiding them as much as possible - there's just too many people and too much excitement for an old person like me.

So I spent some time with my pinhole camera this weekend. I made it from the beautiful package of glowsticks Chris sent me. And I got some exciting results so I think I'll do more of that tomorrow.

Alrighty, love all you guys!

<3 and peace to you
