Our Church's Week Away in Austria . . .


The House We Stayed in During our Week in Austria

As I wrote in my most recent newsletter, our week away as a church family at the end of August was an incredibly uplifting time. We --around 40 people + 2 dogs :-) had so much fun just being together, building relationships, and and having adventures, that I thought it would be worthwhile to share even more pictures with you. What would take me ages to describe will be far more thoroughly communicated through pics. Sooooo, here goes . . .

Wow, Deanna...so great to take a few minutes and look around and see all that's been going on in your life.

Thanks for all the pictures. I want to get better at posting more pictures. That's great.

Just wanted to say it sounds like we had similar summers, such a blessing from God. I just arrived back September 6th...and jumping into to life in Hungary...some great fruit beginning to come forth.

PS - did you hear that Lara Izokaitis is moving to Lithuania? Most likely by March. Then the three of us (we both remember you got a prophetic word during grad school) will be living out this European prophetic dream...

Love ya!
