Celebrations ...

Yes exactly, celebrations, is the word! Since my arrival in Switzerland, the celebrations do not stop! They seem to have purposely put all of them this weekend so I can join all :-)
But before Switzerland, last Sunday, the leader of my DTS invited me with 3 more to eat brownies that he backed at there home. It was an opportunity to get to know more their little girl (aged 2-3 months) and the others people present. It was a beautiful evening.
Wednesday night was their first of two commissioning nights. This quarter there will be two, because three schools will complete their theoretical phase in South Africa after the conference of the university of the nations.
Then, Thursday was the departure for Switzerland. The flights went well. I got to know a little bit some of the passengers. In Geneva, my nephew and my parents welcomed me, first celebration. Then we went to get my driving license, say hello to my older brother and my little brother. After that, by bringing back my nephew, I saw for the first time my second niece and saw my sister in law. It was fun to see everyone there.
Saturday started with my first visit to the YWAM base in Lausanne. There, I met YWAMers from Perth and we had a teleconference with our director who is in South Africa. After this time, it was the turn of the celebrations of the 45 years of the "Flambeaux" (boy scouts). A very good time with great reunion and the first meeting with the fiancee of my best friend. And to end this day, there was the first evening of the celebration of the 40 years of YWAM Switzerland.
Sunday I had the privilege of attending the first service of my church in their new house. It was celebrated with a drink. Then I was invited by a couple from the church. A good opportunity to reconnect with them and to hear a little of what they experienced during those two years. And during the evening was the second celebration of 40 years of YWAM Switzerland. It was nice to see the whole cathedral full and also to meet many different people, including my future sister in law (a first for me (a second sister in law, but the first time I met her :-))).
Voila, then, these first three days were filled with celebrations of diffenrent kind and first encounter with 3 importante girls (for my two brothers and my best friend). It was also an opportunity to reconnect with flavors and familiar images that I love. Tomorrow I leave for a few days in the mountains with my parents. This will be more restfull.
