We headed to Dessau to meet Matthias, another Intern headed to PNG in September, spend time with his family and answer questions. They didn't live too far from Wittenberg where Martin Luther spent most of his life. So we got to see the door where Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis.
We visited the University where Martin Luther worked.
Being in the east of Germany was quite different because not long ago it was a Communist area. When it became open all the buildings looked like the building on the left because there was no money to renovate. But after the years most things have been restored and look new like the building on the right.
And saw the church where Martin Luther preached. It was very sad to learn that the place where Martin Luther lived now is full of atheists, not many believers live there and there aren't many people interested in the things of God.
We also saw the Castle of Fredrick the Wise who helped Martin Luther during his life.
Back in Dessau we stayed with Matthias and his family for the night. And Matthias showed Jacob his pet snake.
Matthias playing around with his pet snake. He also has pet spiders as well... we think that Matthias will love being in Papua New Guinea with the many different kinds of bugs and things.
