In the morning, we had the privilege of meeting Jide's husband, Agim. We spent the morning with their family at their church. The message was in German, but a friend of Jide's interpreted it for us. It was about the metaphor of Jesus being the Good Shepherd and us being His sheep. The style of the service reminded us a bit of our Hillsong days. Great worship with people free to express their faith in their own way.
After the service, we wandered down to a cafe and sat in the leafy courtyard. Jide had shared with us the day before about Swiss culture and how she felt there being an Albanian-born Australian. So today we talked alot about life in Switzerland, what they liked about it and what they didn't like.
Agim is an artist. He was born in Albania, but migrated to Switzerland several years ago. He has had a gallery in Zurich for six years now. Jide is also a creative spirit, particularly in the areas of writing and art. When I met Agim, and having known Jide for several years, I saw that they were a great match. Agim is friendly, creative and is great with their boys. Jide is a beautiful spirit, discerning, creative, and a nurturing mum.
We chatted for two or three hours at the cafe while Agim took photos with his professional camera. Here are a mix of the ones we took and the ones he took on his fancy camera. See if you can guess who took what!
After a great time with their family, we walked back with them towards the train station and took a few more photos along the way. Some of them show Switzerland's first modern glass skyscraper in the background.
It was sad to say good bye, but we hope to see them again in Sydney or next time we are in Switzerland.
We had dinner in Zurich before heading back to "the basement".
