So far, so good! Life in Kandern

Since arriving in Kandern I have been able to meet people, tour the grocery stores, see some of the school buildings, attend German church, begin taking German orientation classes, and see a small bit of the local area! It is certainly a beautiful place with lots to learn about and to see and do. I know that I will be busy throughout the upcoming years learning about German culture and the unique places in the area.

Some of the highlights of my time here so far has been connecting with the staff here at BFA and reconnecting with the friends that I met at TeachBeyond Orientation. I was also excited to be able to attend German church and sing worship songs in English and German and listen to a sermon in German. I have enjoyed walking around and discovering things in Kandern such as the Eis Cafe (ice cream place) and the cute shops downtown!



The Blumenplatz (city center)

Mostly BFA has allowed us time to get acclimated and settled into this new setting. I have had time to just explore or talk to new people and consider some of the belongings that I still need to go out and get for my new home. I am so grateful for the chance to rest and acclimate to this new place. I feel such a sense of peace that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.

Enjoy some of these pictures of my new home!

The Lord is good and I'm giving Him thanks!
