I Don't Know What To Call This Post

Hey guys! I hope you all had a great weekend and that you're ready for a brand new week! Yesterday I got to go to Lichtenstein castle, a street fair (like a flea market) and the Donauinselfest on the Danube. Donauinselfest is the biggest open air music festival in Europe. Billy Idol was there, but I didn't get to see him (Mo' mo' mo' ... mo' mo' MO'!) I did see Amy McDonald with a friend though. It was the first I've heard her and she was pretty good! There were so many people, we were literally packed in like sardines.

My friend Heike and I managed to catch a train back at the very last second, but when we stepped in it was so full that no one could move. When the train started moving, we all swayed in one big mass - like matches in a matchbox. All I could see was a man's torso two inches in front of me and I was very glad when people started to get off! On our way to the subway, we slid down a hill (we thought we'd try and beat the crowd by going down the hill), but we didn't see that the hill was pure dust. I left a trail of black foot marks all through my apartment on the way to the bathroom :}

It was really refreshing to spend time with someone closer to my age and to just be able to talk. Heike is from Manheim in Germany and she joined TWR only about 6 months ago. Her family members aren't believers, so it's hard for them to understand why she wants to be a missionary. I realize that I really take a supportive family for granted. I couldn't do it without them. Pray for Heike and her family - that they would see and understand her passion to serve the Lord with TWR and that she would have wisdom and strength as she continues to be a testimony.

I forgot that I told you I'd put put up pictures of the castle, so here they are!

You can see more on Facebook too :) I'll be in Slovakia and the Czech Republic this week too, so hopefully I can gets some good snaps there. Pray for that if you think about it. I'll be interviewing and taking photos with the TWR offices there. I'm very grateful to be working with another journalist who speaks Slovak!

I'm not sure how much blogging I'll be able to do, so I might have to check in later in the week.

Okay, I'm signing off and going to pack. Have a great week! Thanks for reading!
