Humbling...

We're in Munich now...we actually leave tomorrow for Austria but today after 12 we had free time so we decided to take the train to Dachau. Dachau is the sight of the first concentration camp of WW2. This camp was a 'work camp'. The nazi's used it to build materials for the war knowing that as long as there were prisoners here the Allies would never bomb the location.

The things I saw and felt I can't put into words. I am very thankful for what I have been given and for the fact that I was able to see and get a better picture of history.


It's crazy to think that I have been here for over two weeks. It's beginning to feel like home here, except the whole not always catching what everyone is saying to you. :) Our group here is very interesting to say the least...things keep happening that keep me on my toes that's for sure! I hope to have some interesting stories to tell.

The University at Passau has now set up an exchange program with A&M...hmmm...:)

When we toured Munich yesterday it was amazing to see how old the city is...and by European standards it's young. We walked through beautiful gardens (they had wonderful jogging trails) saw a beautiful palace, the paraliment building, the buildings that Hitler gave speeches on, marketplaces...the history here is amazing. I feel I just need a day to sit, drink coffee, and take it all in. I feel like I am under going a rollar coaster ride of emotions.

God has been teaching me A LOT! It's pretty amazing and I can't wait to share, being here has been such a blast but there have also been some battles and I thank you all for your prayers!!
