As a family we drove to Bled, Slovenia and relished the hours spent in nature. We were able to wander around the pristine Lake Bled, take a boat ride to the cozy, island church in the middle of the water, and soak in the beauty of the Vintgar Gorge. God's provision was overwhelming: for starters, we weren't sure we could afford the trip until friends offered their car! Instead of spending hundreds of Euro on a rental, we were able to borrow their van for free. Then, while in Slovenia, we were healthy and safe while hiking and exploring; furthermore, we were able to witness his glory in nature.
We got back to Vienna on Sunday and have been easing back into The Swing of Things as smoothly as we can. Yet, despite the frantic busyness of the end of a school year, we are excited about what is to come. Not only do we still have a church retreat to rejoice in this upcoming weekend, but in two weekends we have prom and in a little less than a month we will be in the United States.
We really appreciate prayer for the retreat, that God would use it to rejuvenate the church and deepen friendships. Please also be praying for Britney because she is the prom coordinator this year and has a lot on her plate.
Finally, please think of us in prayer for our upcoming summer trip to the US. We will be flying back on June 13 and will be staying for about two months (Caleb will come back a little earlier to start the next school year, while Ollie and Britney will stay until August 22). Our goals are to spend most of our time with family and to connect with all of our supporting teammates. We hope to see all of you and will be in contact with you soon to work things out.
Thank you for your prayers and love,
Caleb & Britney & Oliver
