Encouraged!

This morning we received our first real piece of mail from America! It was a card with the verse: "The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you"...Deuteronomy 31:8. We were ENCOURAGED! We had asked you all to pray that the Lord would send some encouragement our way, and He was faithful. I have been praising Him today for the big and little ways He has encouraged us. Thanks for praying!

Another encouragement, was a new apt. that we saw. We are holding on to this apt. loosely, but we are very encouraged by the size, location, and view. It is located in the 5th District, but it has a Streetcar stop right when you walk outside the front door of the apt. It is very easy to find...which is a good thing when inviting guests over who live in the city. It is bigger than the last one we looked at and even a little cheaper. We put in another offer and plan on hearing back early
next week. We are very encouraged and thankful that this might be a possibility.

The new apt is located on the top floor of the white building that looks like a tower

As we look around the city for places to live, the kids have certainly enjoyed many new foods and the fun of the city! We have been encouraged by their new love of Vienna!

Please continue to pray that we would trust the Lord to provide just the right apt. for us! Have a great weekend...and may you give thanks for the many ways the Lord has been encouraging you!
