a blustery day it was indeed. even as i am writing this i can feel the building shake from the strength of the winds. kendra and i went to church and back and got soaked. CHILLY! we ran home from the train and could barely stay on our feet from the wind. we quickly came upstairs and changed into dry clothes. we were supposed to have gone to vienna with an iranian girl, nazanine, today, but she called us just after we had gotten home and suggested we go on a nicer day - we were definitely ok with that! so we had a nice time hanging out here at the guest house, eating some lunch and watching our new show (we stared "heroes"). it was relaxing, and best of all we stayed warm!!
we bundled up again in the evening to go to the iranian fellowship, where we were going to end up with nazanine anyway. but this way we got a ride into vienna from julie :) so we still got to see nazanine, and we joined a new fellowship for the evening! we were warmly welcomed by mary joy dosset, a lovely iranian woman (i know that doesn't sound like a persian name - she changed it after she became a christian). some of you in athens might remember her coming with mark dosset a few years ago. wonderful lady. she sends her love and prayers to all, especially the parents :) very nice night.
i have decided that when i get back to greece (and especially if it is for a good amount of time) i am going to start going to persian fellowship. i cannot give any real specific reason other than I JUST WANT TO! all of you in greece who are reading this, i expect you to hold me to that!
3 sermons today. my favorite passage preached on? matthew 8: the faith of the centurion. imagine having faith that amazed the Lord himself?

Hallochen meine liebe freunde!
Finally got caught up on the blog! WOW! It sure makes me miss meine heimat! When our Kristen Lina was there w/IT she loved going to Altenmarkt too. Be sure to try the strudel (either Topfen or Apfel) at Aida when you are near one---the pastry is almost pure butter. Keep up the great dialog. Gott segnet euch!

I'll be sure to make sure that it gets into the team minutes ... "Becky is going to help with PCF when she returns to Athens." Does that sound about right? :)
