Our first "home"

This is the front of our "home" in Thun for our first 12 days in Switzerland. (Our apartment is a little over half of the upstairs.) While we traveled every day to Bern, we were able to train alongside the Grassli's, the couple we were replacing. It was such a blessing to be able to be with them and work with them. There is so much to know and do, and with our fatigued and jet-lagged brains, we didn't get it all. But what we did get was really a big help. We staff the "Center for Young Adults" Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On Tuesdays, we also prepare a meal for about 18 students. It is served just before class for those who come directly from school and work. There are about 45 young people, and learning all their names has been daunting. Sundays, we visit the different wards that the young people come from. And there are meetings and many unscheduled things that come up so that we are always busy!
