Yesterday Heather and I took few of our girls to Worms for the day. One of the girls is moving to CO next week and we wanted to spend a special day with her before she leaves.
I asked them where they wanted to go and they picked Worms. They were interested in learning about Martin Luther and the Reformation. Worms is where Luther was summoned after he nailed his 95 theses on the door in Wittenburg. Rome called him to Worms to renounce his theses statements. It was in Worms that he is rumored to have said his "Here I stand I can do no other." It was really fun to walk around the city with the gals. One of the coolest parts of living in Europe is the history and it's fun to experience it with students and help them catch a bigger picture of the world.

Only 2 weeks until school starts. This summer has just flown by. It's sort of a weird time - some families wait until the end of the summer to move so students have been heading out and we've said goodbye to some graduates heading off to college. On the flip side... a lot of students who've been in the states visiting family and friends all summer are starting to return to get ready for school. It's been fun seeing them again and hear about their summers. We've also had a lot of new students move in over the past 2-3 weeks and it's been fun!! New students seems to be excited about plugging in and making friends. I think we've got good momentum as we head into the new school year.
