My blog at http://blog.jeffersonkim.com was acting all funky due to a malicious script that was somehow installed. . .those jerks. . . so I'm posting some pics I've taken so far through my digital camera on my phone.
I've been blessed to have a Christian community right away. I went over to the Sunday morning, protestant, contemporary service and asked right away ways that I can serve. I got plugged into working their sound board and I also heard about their youth group they needed help in as well.
There's usually a high need for volunteers in military bases. With high turnover rates of about three years, volunteers are always needed.
I went to their youth group and got plugged in there as well and last weekend I went on a training retreat somewhere in Germany. . . not really sure. But we stayed at a hostel, a huge one, and we stayed on the 11th floor. Below are some pics of it in the morning. Fog down in the valley, and lush trees everywhere.
The above picture is just a random pic I took today of some dude who was writing a really really tiny bike. I thought it was amusing enough to take a pic of.
The pic below are some of the youth group volunteers. The chaplains here on base contract out their youth groups to a group called Malachi. Their parent organization is Cadence International. The woman on the right is a missionary and ministers to middle schoolers in a nearby base. The guy on the left is a volunteer at Ramstein's youth group, called "Destiny" and the woman in the middle plays lots of Ultima Online and volunteers in the middle school group to the south of Ramstein. But we're all part of the same Kaiserslautern Military Community which houses about 50,000 military personnel, not including their families. . .or maybe that includes them too.
A pic of the side streets near where I stayed in hotel with. Pics of the place I moved into will be up soon. Below is a pic of a chess set with huge chess pieces. I thought that was the coolest thing there.

The following pics are of a castle we visited last weekend while on the training retreat. I've been thinking about getting a full plate of armour while I'm here. Just cause.

I've also officially started work here, and it seems fine so far. We do basic level, data entry jobs, and right now, with the 1-9PM shift, I have a lot of free time to write and read blogs! Soon, I'll on night shift, 6PM - 6AM, where I'll be learnign German, listening to sermons, and watching tons of DVDs! Here I come Lost, Six Feet Under, Etc.
I'd show you some pictures of the military base and the flightline, which are really tight. I have some good pics. But with all the terrorism going on, I don't want to give any of them all a leg up. Plus, I might get in trouble.
BTW, if you could recommend some good series or preachers to listen/read, I'd be much obliged it. I'll be having TONS of free time over the next two or three months.
Much love,
Kisses
