After several days in Ebnat-Kappel, we went to the nearby town of Buttikon. Most of the team stayed at the church, but Tim and I stayed with the Quiring family. We had services on Tuesday and Wednesday night. On Wednesday, the pastor took us to see a Protestant church and a lake in the mountains. We had about an hour at the lake, and some of us tried to hike up into the mountains to see a waterfall (we didn’t make it). Some of the others who stayed by the lake saw a small avalanche on one of the surrounding mountains.
