Only 5 weeks left!

We are currently half way through our time here in Switzerland and I finanlly have some pictures to show you from around our small village here.

This is my favorite tree on the base and I know it looks just like every other kind of tree but I liked it so I thought I would share it with you.

These are our cows, by that I mean the cows this YWAM base owns which live in the field behind and produce all of the milk we drink here.

This is a small stream that is very near the base, once again I just liked the picture so thats why you are seeing it.

This is the Clock Tower that is just a little up the road from us but can been seen cleary from our window. It chimes

every hour and than once on the half hour, starting at 7 am and stops at 10. So needless to say it is my alarm clock.

This is one of the many fountains around the village, they used to be used for different purposes, from washing clothes to providing water for the homes. Now they simply remind us of the history of this small village.

Thanks for going on this tour of Burtigny with us, I hope that you have a better understanding of what our small village looks like now. Check back often because we will be adding more soon!

1 Down, 79 More to Go!

Yes, its true, Joseph and I have finally been married one year. We celebrated our anniversary here in Switzerland and God once again was so good to us.

My deep desire was to spend our anniversary in Geneva, as it is a truly unique city, yet due to our financial circumstances, that didn't seem possible. However, God always knows our desires and helps them to come true, the morning of our anniversary one of Joseph's classmates informed us that they were going to spend the day in Geneva and invited us to come along. Needless to say I was overjoyed, we quickly accepted the invitation, and off we went. Joseph had never been in Geneva before and so it was great to wander around the city and the lake. We were also given some money and so we found one small souvenir shop open (since it was a Sunday no shops are usually open) and in it we found this cow.

As most of Switzerland is farming country with cows being a major source of income, most of the souvenirs are cows. Despite not really liking cows, I loved this one, as it was prefect for being our souvenir from this lovely country. It really has been a huge blessing to experience our first year of marriage, God has continually shown his faithfulness in our life and we are both very excited to see what God has in store during this next year. We want to express our thanks for all of your support in our life during the past year and thank you for your wisdom and input during this learning process of marriage.

Hey Everyone,
It seems that the pictures have a problem, so I will try to fix it soon. The Internet is having problems here so I will fix it as soon as the Internet works again properly. Sorry Everyone!

Pictures Finally!!!

I know that you all have been anxious to see pictures of beautiful Switzerland and so here they are.

These are pictures from our retreat during Easter weekend to a town called Einigin. As you can see, it is a beautiful place.

This is the house Joseph and I stayed in. It is beautiful on the inside as well and still has that old Victorian feel to it.

As you can see the lake was beautiful and we find it to be an honor to be in this beautiful country during this season of our lives.
