photographie.

evening at the targets with magda.



another evening at the targets with a friend, curtis, from oklahoma.



one cold, cloudy day.



moonrise over the l'argentine ridge.



afternoon hike at solalex.



my temporary home. taken outside chalet chesalet, where i eat some of my meals.



lovely swiss cows, their bells ringing day and night.



downstairs at farel house, our library/chapel.



taken at la gourmandine the last time i posted. jongmoon (above at right) was teaching everyone a south korean game.



cousin magda! this was taken at the targets the night of her one-year anniversary. we drank ollon's finest pinot noir in memory of joel.















this is the view from my room, the first day i arrived.


so i've decided to stay on at l'abri as a helper for the fall term, which means i won't be back stateside until december. i don't know how it ended up that i came for ten days and will now be staying for six months, but it just did. lots of theology, philosophy, and vocation-specific exploration in the coming months. thanks to everyone for your prayers and well-wishes.

a friend from california has a car here, and this afternoon we're deciding which of two concerts to go to and try and scalp for tickets:

sigur ros in lausanne.
or
paul simon at the montreaux jazz festival.

my heart hurts at taking one over the other, but we shall see what eventualizes.

i must sign off for now, but i'll post more photos and life commentary soon...

much love, from la suisse.
