Today Diane, Eliana and I spent several hours touring Heidelberg (or "Heidelberger" as Eliana would say). It was pretty overcast today, so the pictures aren't the greatest, but here are a few...
This is Heidelberg Castle. The Bergbahn was under construction, so we had to take a bus up the steep hill to visit it.
Here's Di and Eliana checking out this....
The only downside to our day was that our tour guide at the castle basically threatened to kick us off the tour if "the baby" made so much as a 'peep' while she was talking. So, it was pretty interesting trying to keep Eliana, a lively little two year old, distracted and quiet for an hour during the tour. Other than that it was a great day and I would love to go back and explore more of the town sometime.
Tonight I went onto the Army base with Douglas to give a mini-concert and lead worship for the youth group from the Chapel there. About a dozen kids came and after about an hour of playing Underground Church (basically "Capture the Flag"), they came in for a lesson and then I sang and talked with them a bit. They seemed like a good group of kids, but it was interesting talking to the leaders about this type of ministry where the group is pretty transient. They have a short period of time to interact with the kids and then they're gone. Personally, I think that would be such a difficult ministry because of that, but it's cool to see the people that God has raised up to do it. Most of the leaders that I met were also "military brats" growing up and so they are able to relate to the transient lifestyle that these kids have.
Tomorrow morning I'm going back onto the base to give another mini-concert for a women's Bible study group from the Chapel. I'm looking forward to this, and should probably get to bed so that I can actually stay awake for it. :)
Gute Nacht!
