A laugh and short update

I decided to play memory with Primary today. I like having days when you can play games with the kids and see them in a different setting. While we were playing, I asked one student, when he was moving back to Mongolia. He answered and then I said something like, "That's sad." The little girl closest to me, looks at me and says, "Jesus is with you." I thought it was so adorable!! She made me laugh. :)

I've been back in Vienna for 3 days after a whirlwind trip to the States to attend my Grandfather's funeral. It's good being back and being able to work on wedding plans again. Jetlag is a struggle at the moment though ... and there is so much to do, that life is a bit stressful right now. I'll be moving in about a week and that will help with some of the stress level, but I am looking forward to the day when life calms down a bit. Maybe in 36 days ....

If a cellphone or computer are somewhere near her, she doesn't waste any time getting to them. She has so much energy. Naps are kept short, often a half hour, if I'm lucky an hour. I'm so thankful for this sweet, little, energy bundle. I look forwa

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. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't
