Something new

As this new adventure starts, I thought I would try to keep up better with everyone by starting a blog. I'm not sure how this will work and how often I will be able to to update, but I figure it is worth a short. Everyone else seems to be doing it, so perhaps it is time I got on the bandwagon!

I'm currently in NY for PFO (pre-field orientation). It has been a great week getting to know so many wonderful people that will be all over the world. I have especially enjoyed getting to know the team going to Vienna Christian School. Our days have been pretty packed with sessions and many times I feel my brain going into overload...but I have still really, really enjoyed it!

More later!

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep.
