Grace in Small Things #45

- Tonight I went to a young people's sport event with dinner and an evangelical movie afterwards. I had so much fun with the people there. It's so great to be in a German speaking environment. The testimony that was shared later on in the evening was really great and encouraging as well!

- I had a good long time this morning where I could spend time in God's word and in prayer.

- Coffee this morning with Beth...we had such good talks and got some good laughs in while people watching in downtown Vienna :)

- I really enjoyed playing volleyball again! It's been soo long!

It was a strange, yet funny and sweet, experience...very un-Austrian.
