PTL

Today was a great day. First of all, I went into the Reiseburo in Bonn to buy a ticket to Minkelfeld, Germany. I got part of the ticket, the train part. To get the rest of the way there involves some walking and two buses. That is all the information I have so far. It will be great.

Secondly, after I bought my ticket I went to find the Poppelsdorfer Schloss (castle) in Bonn. I was disappointed by the actual building, it is one of the university buildings so there were no trap doors to find and secret passageways to explore. But the weather today was beautiful. I put on some Caedmon's Call on my iPod and explored a part of Bonn that I hadn't seen yet. It was great to just be able to enjoy being in creation. And I saw the coolest ducks. It was rather chilly, definitely below freezing, and I came across this pond where the ice had really confused the ducks. Some were standing on it, some were trying to ram their way through it. It was a great spectacle.

And lastly, one of the coolest things of my day was that I got to explain who Jesus was to a couple of Muslim women in my class. The teacher divided the class up into groups and each group recieved a holiday to do a little bit of research on and to the present to the class. The holiday that I got was Easter. The women I was working with were both Muslim and had no idea about what Easter is. I got to explain to them what Christians believe and why Easter is then so importent. It was cool.

I had been feeling a bit distnaced from God lately; I don't have my church anymore, I don't have my church friends around, and I can't really understand what is being said at church. God is good, and it was a great day to be reminded that He truly is everywhere.
