A lotta brunnen

Curtis calls the 3 days in Switzerland, a ‘Spiritual Retreat’ for the team. We were in Lauterbrunen, Switzerland. He does some teachings, we have a full free day, and we camp right in the center of God’s beautiful mountainous creation. Driving from Italy to the German region of the Swiss Alps is breathtaking. We passed countless bright blue and green lakes, mountains that shoot straight up from the valley floor, and went through over two-dozen tunnels- one of them 20 minutes long.

The first morning, Curtis took the team up to the town graveyard and did a teaching on Christ’s sacrifice and how our sins died with Him and we must give those up to Him and also forgive ourselves. In the afternoon, we all hiked to Trumbelbach falls- located half inside and half outside the side of the mountain. Our 2nd day there, it was National day for Switzerland. So a huge firework show went off at 10pm in Lauterbrunnen, but also other shows in neighboring towns went off until late into the night.... and with the mountain walls, it was LOUD booming and echoing!
