Mosbach, Germany

I don't have much time but I wanted to try to post a little something.  I have arrived safely in Mosbach and am almost totally adjusted to the time difference.  Thank you for all your prayers!  I am staying in a youth hostel that is about a 1.4 mile walk from 'the mill' (the main conference center).  I have 3 other girls in my room, one from Malaysia, one from England, and one from Holland.  Becca, you would love all the accents!  Its very beautiful here, a bit cold and snowy but nothing I'm not used to.  We went on a scavenger hunt in the actual town of Mosbach this afternoon.  Oddly enough my competitive side was overtaken by my curiosity and I got distracted with wandering around town and taking pictures rather than trying to find whatever it was I was supposed to find!  I felt like I was in a little snow globe village.  The architecture is very unique, different from anywhere else I've been.  The conference itself has been good so far, just getting started really but I am excited about joining the ship.  Pray pray pray on January 26th as that is the date the surveyor's are coming to inspect the ship and hopefully giving the passenger safety certification so that we can set sail within the first month of being there.  I believe the first stop that's scheduled is the UK, yah!  And after that rumors have it that we will either be sailing through the Caribbean or along the coast of Africa, I would be thrilled with either!
