* On Tuesday, I was able to take part of the day off to show the Gees one of my favorite places in Europe -- Interlaken and the Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Swiss Alps. We had beautiful weather with great views of the peaks.
* Tim and Alison got a tour of the high school on Wednesday morning, followed by a (much shorter!) tour of the middle school. They heard about how BFA provides services for the whole student -- their academic, social, and emotional needs.
* Tim decided to use his skills and training as a chef to bless the middle school staff! We were spoiled with ginger beef with leeks over rice and delicious pastries for dessert!
* Tim and Alison both helped out with Scripture memory during Bible class. They talked the kids about the meanings of the verses and helped them prepare for the upcoming verse quiz. Tim enjoyed attending the Ultimate Frisbee elective at the end of the day, while Alison conversed with 8th grade students in the cooking elective class.
* We also visited several dorms over the course of the two days. Each dorm has a unique personality and feel to it, making it more like "home" for the students living away from their families.
* The Gees also stayed in the guest apartment of my mentor, so they got to know the Campbell family during their stay here as well.
* Tim was the speaker for the evening at Chrysalis, the middle school youth ministry. While Tim was spending time with the middle schoolers, Alison joined my high school group. We drove to Elemenz, my favorite cafe, for some yummy desserts and deep conversation about our goals for the year.
Thanks, Tim and Alison, for a great visit! Anyone else coming to Kandern soon? Let me know if you'd like to visit BFA!
