One More Week at L'Abri

Hello!
Well we have one more week here at L'Abri in Switzerland. Last week, we got back into our studies after a great week in sunny hot Spain. It snowed here the other day and then quickly melted away. We got a lot of reading done this week. Craig reading about postmodernism, the environment, the Puritans, Genesis, and other books. He's been very diligent! I read a bit on St. Athanasius and St Basil, each being from the 4th century. I had an interest in reading some more of the what the early church fathers closer to the time of Christ were writing about and the issues they were facing as Christianity was growing and spreading. Its good to read books that are written nowadays, but also helpful to read from those who led the church in earlier times.
Last night Craig went to an ice hockey game up at a village up the mountain and he was very excited cause he got the puck at the end of the game!
We have one more week at L'Abri and then on Friday morning we leave for Germany where we will be staying at several different hostels in 4 different cities including Austria. We won't have much internet access out there but we'll try to find an internet cafe if there is one around. The Germany trip will be about 2 weeks.
We really miss home and are really looking forward to being back in Canada with family and friends but also look forward to the last 4 weeks here in Europe.
Talk to you soon! We really love you all so much!
