Ok I had a few days there where I couldn't sign into the blog, but I think it's all fixed now. Oh and if you haven't seen them already, pictures are up on facebook!
So this was written on the Tuesday of the trip (two weeks ago).
Today was our service day here at the castle. After breakfast we split into groups to do various tasks around the castle. A few of us into the church at the castle (where Luther had preached) and spent a few hours cleaning it. It was the dustiest place, so we swept, dusted, and wiped everything down. The dust was so bad we could barely see across the room, but it was awesome to be cleaning such an historic place. We had lunch and then I joined the groups that was sorting rocks. There were massive piles of rocks that had been frozen together, and we were trying to break them apart into piles of small and big rocks. It was hard work but a lot was accomplished. Later we took the trail into town to buy some snacks and then came back up to listen to the castle owner tell us the amazing history of this place. We even got to climb the construction scaffolding to get to the top of the castle! We had dinner and devotions, and then spent the evening playing games and just hanging out. We had a bonfire, and the sky was amazing. I don't know if I've ever seen that many stars at once. Oh on a random note, there is an adorable little dog named Goliath (well the German version but I don't know how to spell it). During the day one of the workers brought his dog Betty, so I enjoyed playing with them. Tomorrow we're off to Leipzig and Wittenberg!
