This week I worked mostly on the article for the Czech partners (the office in Brno where I visited two weeks ago). And every day I worked a little bit more on editing the photos for the TWR European photo stock. I'd like to show you what I've been working on, but the photos are technically owned by TWR and if I put them up here, someone could use them without permission. So maybe I'll just edit some of my own photos and put them up here for your guys :)
So on Friday night, Julia and I went to a film festival at the Rathaus and watched a Parisian ballet (on film mind you ... we're not that lucky) and on Saturday we did some shopping in Vienna and then this morning we went to church and explored around the Belvedere. Here are some pics of the weekend:

The Belvedere! (under major construction, but still beautiful)
Do you see these juices? We got them for free at church and do you know what? We drank them all. We did. It was like 91 degrees and we were outside for most of the day. Mine was carrot and orange juice with vitamins A, C and E, so I didn't feel too terribly bad about drinking all of those calories. My insides sloshed around all day.
This is Julia in front of the lower Belvedere
This is the upper Belvedere and one of the fountains in the garden. I'm so upset that we couldn't take pictures inside because it was so beautiful, but you can see pictures here:
My pictures are ridiculous compared to what it's really like. So much Baroque, so little time.
This is one of the paths in the garden between the upper and lower Belvedere. It's kind of confusing to explain, but you should Google "Belvedere" and check it out.
Yeah, so that's what's happening in Vienna town. I'm leaving for Lithuania tomorrow for four days, but I'll be back in Vienna for the weekend and then off to Bratislava again for another week. Pray for me as I interview our Lithuanian partners. I really need wisdom as I interview so I can know how best to write their article. They're under a lot of financial stress right now and I hope that I can write an article that will bring awareness to the great ministry there. They have this wonderful children's program that reaches so many families and it is such a precious ministry. I was flipping through some photos of the Lithuanian children on our photography website and they completely stole my heart! They're like something straight out of a Charles Dickens novel. Oh, so precious ...
Will you pray that the Lord provides good photo opportunities too? TWR needs way more stock photography for their many publications and the pickings are slim now, so they're forced to use photos multiple times in different publications. It's a big no-no for most professional organizations, but they really have no choice as they don't have any professional photographers who can just devote their time to making good photos. I'm so happy that I've been able to help in this area and I hope that I can leave TWR Europe with plenty of excellent photographs.
I want to give a special shout out to my prayer partners out there! You know who you are :) I appreciate you guys so much! Thanks for tuning in and I hope that everyone has a blessed and peaceful week ahead of them!
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6).
