Meine Beine sind sehr wund!


So this week was really fun!  Last Tuesday, I went to my first hockey game... EVER.  It was so awesome! I love watching hockey... We watched the Salzburg Red Bulls get killed by Hungarians, but it was still so great!  On Thursday night, we just walked around Salzburg and saw some of its night life.  There's a bar next to our school that we'll go to every so often, and we met a bunch of American students there!  They were nice and gave us some travel tips... On Saturday, we went and watched the MozartCup, which is a figure skating competition... There were teams from all over the world there.  We were able to watch the US teams perform, and they were pretty good.  Yesterday I climbed Mt. Zinken with snow shoes in Hollein, Austria... I think this was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life! (No exaggeration...) I think the hike was only like 2 1/2 miles up, but it felt like much further... Then when we got up to the top, the view was so pretty!  We went inside the restaurant for about 30 minutes, and then we went butt-sledding down the mountain.  The butt-sledding was so much fun!  We would slide down under the ski lift, and all the skiers would laugh at us... I had one guy yell out, "Oh! Training for the Special Olympics!"  We just laughed... Overall this week went really well... I passed my first few German quizzes and my other class is also going great! :)  Please continue to pray...
  • ...that God would open my eyes to new things on this trip.
  • ...that I would turn to Him in every situation (both the hard and the easy, the good and the bad).
  • ...that I would be aware of the hurting people around me.
Thanks so much for the prayers and encouragement!  I love you all! Auf wiedersehen!

Oh, the title means, "My legs are very sore!" :)
