The sun has returned to its rightful place in the sky, the trees are exploding in green, white, and pink, and the air carries the sound of summer in every breeze. Our lungs cannot avoid shouting along with Bono every morning:
It's a beautiful day!
Just a week ago, we got all fancy and drove up to a converted palace on a hill that overlooks the city. The reason? PROM! Bowties and high heels, dancing and eating. So. Much. Good. Eating. The whole thing was organized by Britney, a fellow teacher, and a committee of students. It was a complete success; check out the pictures for evidence of the glee.

And it just keeps getting better. In one week we will be returning to the US for a summer furlough / vacation / mega-life-spa session. We will be spending time with family and working on raising more support for the upcoming school year. We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as we possibly can - hopefully, that can somehow be all of you!
The details: We will arrive in Chicago on the 13th of June. We'll be focusing on family down-time during the first few days, first with Caleb's family and then driving over to Granite to be there the 17th of June through the 3rd of July. Then, we'll be back in Bloomington until the 8th of August (when Caleb flies back and Britney / Ollie return to Granite before they come back to Vienna on the 22nd of August).
As we already said, we truly (and even desperately) want to see you. Please contact us and we will try to work it out to meet and fellowship together.
We are thankful for you and so blessed,
Caleb & Britney & Ollie
