July 2- the paper hits the wall and we become prince & princess

Today was another amazing day. We worked, and went to two wonderful places that we did not want to leave!! Working was great, as usual, and we got to start putting up wallpaper! It's looking awesome, and the team has taken to each task like ducks to water. New supplies have come along with the wallpaper, so that Isaya and company can keep hard at work on the siding of room 2. The bathroom that Doug and company have been insulating is ready to be tiled, which seems to be an exciting task because everyone wants a chance to try it! God has definitely put excitement in our hearts along with a zest for service on this trip. After working, we drove very long up a mountain to a castle called Haut-Koenigsbourg, and went on a guided tour inside. We took lots of pictures and even climbed on cannons! It's really amazing how God has woven such fun things into this trip for us. After the castle, we drove to a village within our district called Riquewihr, and Veronica says she found her home there. It is beautifully coloured and landscaped with cobblestone roads, blue, pink, yellow and green houses and ancient narrow roads. One building we saw was from 1694! Yesterday was also great because we went to a festival after work in our town of Guebwiller, with street venders and a traditional band with dancers built in. We all tried head cheese...and we think it's safe to say it's not Andrew's favourite! Tomorrow is a full work day, and we will be attending a church in our district on Sunday. Much hard work and fun to come!

Signing off, Veronica and the boys. God bless sunscreen and waterbottles.
