From Chicago to Leipzig: Majesty Spread Thin With Grass.

I am sitting in a youth hostel in Wilderswil, Switzerland looking out a window into the majestic Swiss Alps. This is probably one of the most beautiful places in the world. Words do not express the emotions I feel toward this place. The feelings it brings up in me do not even let me get words out to describe it. If I tried to describe this majesty to those of you at home, I couldn't even do it justice. It is truly magnificent. Majesty spread thin with grass- this is what i feel about the alps here in Switzerland.

While here I am memorizing Isaiah 42:6--
“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;
    I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
    to be a covenant for the people
    and a light for the Gentiles,"

As I prayed to have a verse for Switzerland, the Lord put on my heart, righteousness and just learning what it means for people and how Christ's righteousness. Through Him we gain righteousness. We inherit it.

While in Interlaken/Wilderswil we got three day train passes to go up into the mountains and hike. Yesterday we went up to Jungfrau and went to the observatory there it was so insanely amazing! All i could do was gasp and say "oh my gosh" It was literally, glorious, filled with His vast majesty and proclaims all of the honor He deserves. I stood in awe of His majesty and it made me realize how small I really am and He is Lord over it all. We then hiked up to a hut on a mountain called the Mönch. Who knew that such thin air and snow could really make a up hill hike harder. Mercy. We finally got there, slipped off our shoes and put on the crocs provided and headed upstairs to eat some food. We left the hut and descended back down the path.

After that we split up and some of us took a hike on foot of the north face of the Eiger mountain. It was epic. Snow covered the majority of the path we were to be on. So we dug in and walked at an angle on the side of this mountain that was slanting down toward civilization. We did this multiple times through snow in a single file line to make sure we stayed on the mountain and not sliding down. Very seldom times we would find gravel or hard ground to walk on. We decided to make it quicker, we would go off the path and sprint/penguin slide/or slide on our butts down the face of the mountain. It was so fun and so nuts. There will be a video of some boys doing it down below :) After a while we found hard ground to walk on for the rest of the way down. We got to a waterfall and took some pictures and then found a path that was a steep downhill to our destination of the train station. After probably about 4 hours we were at the train station and tired and wet.-- It was a scary experience for me at the start to think i could just slide down the side of this mountain.

-The pictures are so out of order and it stresses me out, but its fine, we will work with it.
