Leben auf Magnolienstrasse

Long flight. I slept, read, and listened to my iPod. The reading lights on the plane were broken, they would randomly flicker on and off. Everyone thought they were bumping the switch on the arm rest, or that they were going crazy. I think the people were going crazy. Muahaha! Jk... So they finally shut them all off.

I don't think I really realize I am here yet, it's a strange feeling. I'm sure in a week or so I will feel settled and I'll say "hey, I'm a thousand miles from home!" I love it here so far though, but miss all of you.

Zurich is a beautiful city. We can walk anywhere we need to get, or take the tram. Went to my first meeting tonight. The congregation is so warm. All the accents are so neat to listen to. Field service is alot different over here. I am going out on Saturday, so I will tell more about it later. I haven't taken any pictures of the city yet, but here are a few of our apartment and Kingdom Hall.


German, English, Tamil, Italian, Spanish, Turkish and Yugoslavian congregations.





































A few pics of our apartment in the city. My room on the bottom.

I miss you Daniel, but I know you will be working hard with the congregation there. Sigh..... I preferred it when I was the one to move away. I don't much like being the one left behind, but I will keep my jealousy in check. :0)

By the way, I am writing this from the computer in your room, Daniel, and I must say that the scene around me is disastrous! :0) Perhaps I should take a picture; then we could post it next to the picture of your new room and call it the "Before & After" segment. Love you.....

Wow. So fresh. So clean.

That's crazzy! :) I think you've found the opposite of Ecuador! Lol. So, between the two of us we should be able to testify that we've seen Jehovah's organization in operation 'from one extremity of the earth to the other'. Woot.

Right on for us! I send you a long distance high five.

It means Life on Magnolia Street.

It is true, Nadia, Katherine is my favorite oldest sister as she said, because she is my only oldest sister. And Elizabeth is my favorite second oldest sister, because she is my only second oldest sister. Woo, I am going to get major brownie-points for that!

Ryan, Zurich is 6 hours ahead of Florida.

Hey, daniel!

Well, looks great! Afternoons are not the same without you. Soph and I were just saying that today (while we took turns pinching each other to stay awake this afternoon)

Keep the pictures coming! Have fun.
