Wednesday in Jena...
By the way, have I mentioned how you pronounce the name of this city? For those who aren't familiar with Germany, the J sounds like our Y. Jena is pronounced YEH-nuh.
Anyway, after breakfast, Zack and I decided to set out on our own to do a little exploring.
We walked (hiked) up the hill to Napoleonstein that overlooks Jena. It was a reminder of how out of shape I am, and how Converse are not a wise footwear choice for the type of walking we were doing. I kept slipping on the damp rocks and leaves. But it was fun and in the end, the view was definitely worth it!
We sat up there for a while, enjoying the view and the quiet. Then we started back down. We stopped at a restaurant about half way down and had a coffee. Then we continued on and made our way to campus.
We met up with Thomas and several of the Connexxion students. Again today, we looked for ways to meet new students and tell them about the ministry and/or share the gospel.
After that, Daniel took us up to the top of the JenTower. It provided for more great views, and Daniel pointed out so much.
Then we met up with our friend Conny for shopping and coffee.
After that, Anja cooked a great dinner for us. Then it was time for Connexxion's bowling night! It was a lot of fun and we got to meet more of the Connexxion students and leaders.
Another fun - and busy! - day in Jena...
