Does everyone have their Passports?

Switzerland becomes the 25th European country to join the Schengen Agreement, whereby cross-border passport checks will be abolished.

Processing the Pieces

So we are all home, in school, working.... or doing whatever we knew we would be doing post-Europe. Some of us never want to leave American soil again, others of us are itching to get back, or even making plans for their next big adventure as I type this.
The other day I went to lunch with a friend and she asked "So, how was Europe?" I stared at her for a second as the following thoughts streamed through my mind "Wow, I just saw some of the most significant things in the WORLD, had a life changing experience, met and grew to appreciate and even love about 50 new people, experienced over 7 entirely new and different cultures, learned thousands of new things about myself and other, saw the world and the gospel in a whole new perspective, and am not sure how I really feel about half the stuff that I saw and did!!!!" After blinking at her for a few seconds while my mouth caught up with my brain I said, "Uh, it was great. Yea... it was really great."
The rest of the lunch she tried to think of questions to ask, and I tried to think of stuff to say - unfortunately neither of us were super successful. I walked away thinking, "How can I ever begin to explain Europe when someone asks a question as broad as 'how was it?' " and I am sure she thought something along the lines of, "What was her problem? She spent a month over there, how could she not even get more than a sentence or two out about it?"

SO in the wake of that embarrassing moment, I decided that I was going to type up every possible question I could think of related to this trip that I would ask someone and then answer them. As I was compiling the list, I realized that others might have encountered the same frustrating situation, so I opted to posted them here also, if anyone is interested in looking through them. If you have anything that you think would be good to ask, or you appreciated that someone asked you, and want it posted, send it my way (s.denker@yahoo.com OR facebook me!) and I can add it to the list.

***** ALSO, Sister Sturm's uncle is in the hospital. Please pray for both of them. She asked us once on the trip to pray for him specifically, and I get the vibe that they are close.******

My thoughts about the Brigham Young University – Idaho 2008 European Religious History Tour:

What was your favorite place? Why did you like it?

Rank the cities and countries in favorite to least favorite.

What was one shining moment about each city?

What were some of the landmark things you saw and why did you enjoy seeing them?

What would you like to go back and see?

If you could relive one moment, what would it be?

What was your first thought as you saw some of the places you’ve dreamed about, such as the Louver, the Vatican, the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, etc?

What was one thing your brought that you were especially thankful for?

What was something your brought that you never used?

How would you pack differently if you could do it again?

Would you change your shopping patterns/habits if you could go again?

Is there anything you wished you had/had not bought?

Who was someone that made your trip better? What did they do/say that impacted you the most?

How did you like the daily routine? What would you keep and change?

Out of the cities you didn’t enjoy as much, what could you have done to make it more enjoyable?

What would you have seen or done that you did not see or do in each city?

What were the top three spiritual moments?

What was something that was done differently on this trip that you liked and disliked? (i.e. Sacrament meeting, morning devotionals)

What was one food that you liked there more than America? What was one food you were grateful to eat once back in the States?

What was the hardest part about the trip, physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially? Most enjoyable? Easiest?

What did you learn about your personality?

What was your most embarrassing moment? What make it so bad, and in retrospect was there anyway to have sidestep the situation?

What did you think about the styles you saw?

Did you see anything that shocked you? What and why?

How often did you feel homesick? What did you miss, and what helped you get over those feelings?

Are there any cities you would have liked to spend more or less time in? Any places such as monuments or museums you would have liked to visit longer?

Thinking about some of the more holy or reverent places, such as Normandy Beaches or the Vatican, are there any that you liked more than the others? Why, and what order would you put them in?

Did you like the monuments or cathedrals better? Why?

What category of places did you like the most? (i.e. cathedrals, museums, historical monuments, parks)

What are five things that you experienced in Europe that made you appreciate the States?

What are some things you experience in Europe that helped you appreciate your experience there more than a similar experience in the States?

Did you feel that people differed from one country to the next? In which country were people the friendliest, meanest, and most helpful?

If you were asked to give each country a book title, what would they be? Each city?

What did you find yourself talking about the most?

What was something that someone in the group did that affected everyone in the group? Was this a personality thing, or an ‘America’ thing?

If you could have shared moments of your trip with people from home, what moments would you have shared with whom?

What was one experience that made you truly happy? Was there a moment when you felt true sorrow? Empathy? Anger? Pity? Compassion?

Jet Lag Anyone?

We did it!!! We made it back to the States alive and well!!!

As I thought about the trip as a whole on the flight and over the course of today, I had a few thoughts - as I am sure many of you did. Some of us are going home to stay with families, others are going back to school, some are starting jobs again, and others aren't really sure what the next step is. In some ways, it is sad to realize that such a fantastic season of life is over, for now. On the flip side - we all have another big adventure waiting for us as we start on this next phase of life.
One of the things that I personally learned from the trip was how to enjoy the process of change. One of my favorite things was the bus rides; odd, I know. But I was able to see the country side, reflect on the experience of the city, and really think through some personal thoughts and feelings. I was able to learn that as we transition from one phase of life to another, we can learn to enjoy the transition. During the bus rides, I was able to ask myself 'what about this previous experience can help me improve myself?' And as I thought about that I was able to see qualities others had well developed, but I was lacking.
James Barry, the author of Peter Pan, once said, "God gave us memories so that we may have June roses in the Decembers of our lives." So as we all head off to the next grand adventure in life, I hope we will each be able to savor the better parts, or June roses, of the 2008 Religious History Tour and allow the less than perfect parts fade rapidly from our minds.

I'm interested to hear what everyone favorite aspect of the trip was. Please feel free to leave comments!

Numbers & Bones

Dear Fellow Travelers,

Tomorrow will be our last day of classes! By the time most of you read this, it will be done and over with. Tonight I was writing a family member an e-mail explaining the type of work that we are finishing up tomorrow. I crunched some numbers and came up with the following. *Please note that I did the math for someone taking 9 credits like myself. If you're taking ten, give yourself an extra pat on the back.*

"I just took nine university credits in two weeks. Most people, even fellow university students, don't understand quite how that works so I'll explain it a little. Your average university class will meet for about 3-5 hours a week, for 16 weeks. That equals 64 hours of lecture time, plus an average of 2 hours of library studying per every hour of class lecture. So for an average, 3 credit class one will spend about 192 hours on in 16 weeks. Not bad.
But do the math for my classes. 9 credits, times 64 hours per credit, in 14 days, equals about 576 hours worth of work. w-o-w.
Also, a cool fact I just noticed, these above numbers (with the exception of 14 and 3-5) are all prime numbers. I guess I could call the last two weeks the most prime weeks I've spent in my university career."

Guys, that is pretty outstanding. I think that our group has demonstrated a great deal of maturity, strength, endurance, and a passion for learning as seen in our interactions in class and with each other and our professors. I am really excited to get to Europe and put some cultural flesh on the skeleton of knowledge that we and our amazing tour directors have created!

Europe - here we come!

Week One is Done!

Guess what?!?! We got through the first week!!! AMAZING!
I have loved every moment of class, but sleeping this weekend will be equally as enjoyable. It's been great to meet and get to know everyone - I think we have a really great group. We are going to have a blast!

Today in class Brother Anderson talked quite extensively about serving one another, being united, and discerning the needs of one another. I've been thinking a lot about that. It occurred to me that we all have our expectations of what this trip will hold and do for us. Because of our different backgrounds, ambitions, majors, interests... etc, it could be interesting when we are put in groups and these expectations clash and we experience 'personality fatigue'.
So, what are attitudes we can adopt before and during the trip that will help ease any tense or annoying situations when these clashes arise?
