Back Safely

     I got back from Oberammergau safely Saturday Evening, Then on Sunday, I attended Sunday School, and then during church I taught 20+ 3-6 year olds in Children's Church. That is a LOT of children. I had one mom as a helper. It was crazy and chaotic in there, but the children liked the craft and I think they had fun. I have a slight cold. I have never really shook off being sick since before Christmas. I would be very grateful if you would pray that my cold goes away and STAYS away for good.
     On Saturday I traveled 6 hours each direction to Oberammergau. Oberammergau is famous for its wood carvings, and my parents encouraged me to visit their if at all possible. It was a cold day there. The snow was deep, and it was hard even walking on the sidewalks without falling on the snow. I left at 6:35AM from Vilseck, and got back to Vilseck at 10:34PM. I had to change trains four times each direction. It was an adventure, it was beautiful there though and I had a wonderful time.
                    Here are some pictures from my time in Oberammergau. Enjoy.

 

I took this picture of a Lama from the window of the train on the way to Oberammergau

This looks like fun. A galloping horse and rider pulling a skier behind them in a race. Anyone want to try it at home? I saw this advertisement for this competition that was to be held the day after I was there.

The snow was very deep, they have so much that they pile it all up and carve faces into it
