I know, still no new pictures!

So I apologize once again for the lack of effort in posting pictures. I'm so far behind! I just wanted to let you know that I am now on my fourth week of classes - with only three school days left. As I look back, I can't believe how fast the time has flown by, but how amazing my experiences here in Switzerland have been! I just got off of Skype with Aunt KK and mom, and they have officially left Houston, headed for Paris, and then here to Geneva. I can't wait to see them! I still have a paper to write, but it will get done - hopefully!

Thank you again for all of your thoughts and prayers. I am looking forward to finally being in my own bed and having a bathtub to soak in, but until then, I'm going to enjoy the rest of my time here, and have a fabulous time touring other parts of Europe with mom and KK.

Have a blessed day and I will post pictures soon! (I'm hoping I will at least!)

The first few days in Leysin

I know this is long overdue, but I thought I would start trying to post some pictures from my adventures here in Switzerland. I'll start off today, with pictures from my first few days here.

These are pictures from a church below where we are staying.

The Journey Down...

The weather can get a bit dreary and chilly - but can also offer a beautiful rainbow!

The next few pictures are of the inside of the "Grand Hotel" - where we eat, sleep, and attend classes.

This is the banquet hall.

The Mac Computer lab - I've only been in there once! Everyone brings their own laptops.

The cafeteria.

The banquet hall windows.

My floor - I am in room #356 - last room on your left!

This is the view from my balcony, which is connected to everyone else's on my floor. I try to study out there, but can't seem to get anything accomplished - it is so beautiful!

My Bedroom

First Sunday evening in Leysin - we were greeted by the Director of the Leysin American School, and enjoyed some history of the building, and BBQ!

Sunday afternoon Kirsty and I took a walk down to Leysin Village - it was quite a hike!

It's great going down the hills - but this is what you constantly see trying to go back up!

A special treat for us at the bottom of the hill - thankfully, Kirsty speaks French!

The train station.

Another beautiful view!

So there are a few pictures of my first few days here. Come back tomorrow for some pictures form the first week of class!

Life in Leysin

Let me first apologize for my lack of blogging. Since I first arrived here in Leysin it's been nonstop, and although I've taken a ton of pictures, I just haven't had a chance to sit down and post them. If you have a Facebook account, most of them are there, so check it out if you can. My class this week is a bit intense, so I'm doubting I'll have an opportunity to post some this week, but thankfully have the weekend free and will try my best to get them up here. I can't believe my time here is coming to an end and mom and Aunt KK will actually be here in one week! The end is in sight, but there is a lot to do to get there!

Thank you all for your prayers and support. I couldn't do this without you. God is definitely at work in my life right now, and I ask that you keep everyone here in your prayers. We're all feeling a bit overwhelmed!

It's off to breakfast for me - another long day of Language Diversity and a Research Paper to work on all evening. Oh the joys of being a student!

Until next time, take care and God bless.
