Okay I wasn’t planning on blogging this much but I just can’t help myself, I am learning so much! For example, today I had the privilege of going to the original Moravian church and it was nothing like I expected. First off, it was only in german (the other church in town has a translator). Secondly, everything was white; pews, curtains, windows, and even the organ. I learned later this is to signify the purity in Heaven. Oh and apparently you’re not allowed to talk, every time I did this german man two pews in front of us whipped his head back towards us. It was quite humorous.
Later we got a two and a half hour tour of Herrnhut. It started in the cemetery where members of the church are buried. Later we climbed a prayer tower and at the top I could see Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic all at once!
On a different note, one of the worlds first missionaries originated from here, and the tour guide pointed out how awesome to have a YWAM base here, because the town used to send out missionaries ages ago, so in a sense the village is finding its way back its origins! I agree with him!
