Plzen!

Sorry for the delayed update, but things have been busy, busy.
We have finished week six and are already halfway through week seven! Last week we had two younger speakers that tought us basic understanding of the Bible. I think my favorite day was when we went through the gospels and learned the differences between. I guess I had the mindset of once you read one, you've read them all. Oops! Also, we did a graffiti workshop, which was super fun!

Over the weekend we went to Plzen for a youth conference, and I must say my friends back home would've been proud if they had seen me. I slept in a sleeping bag on a dirty floor in a freezing cold room. New experience... waking up shaking from head to toe even though wearing sweatpants, T-shirt and hoodie while wrapped in a sleeping bag. Oh and I survived the shower that was either hypothermic cold or burning lava hot... Needless to say I also think I broke my speediest shower record. Basically this weekend was outreach prep.  :)

We also got to climb to the top of a church tower in the center of Plzen, which was absolutely horrifying. Going up 299 (yes, I counted) narrow and steep stairs was quite scary. I have already fallen down one staircase in my time in Europe, and I definitely didn't want to repeat that on these much more fatal looking stairs. When I reached the top I experienced a mixed feeling of wanting to cry, throw up and rejoice all at the same time. Luckily, the first two didn't happen. The view was beautiful! I will attach a picture at the bottom of us at the top, and look left of my shoulder... That is the second largest synagogue in Europe! Also, while we were in Plzen, we found McDonald's! As sad as it is, I don't think I've ever been so happy to see one in my life! It was an awesome little taste of home. Oh and since they don't have drive-thru, they have "McWalk." Genius and hilarious, I know.

This week we have Carl Tinnion, the leader of YWAM England and Western Europe. So far he has been incredible, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the week! This weekend we will be in Prague then traveling back to Herrnhut, Germany for a few days! Then next weekend a few of us will be back in Prague just for a fun weekend of exploring! I can't believe that next weekend (Easter!) we will be celebrating 2 months of DTS! It's seriously crazy how fast the time goes.

Well that's all I've got for now! xoxo :)
