Updates!

Thank you for all of your prayers! We are still in the thick of the busy season. So I want to give you an update on all of the previous prayer requests and then give you a few more :)

Updates:
- It went very well having Viki stay with us for a week. It was definitely a new experience for us, seeing as we were practically parents of a teenager for a week. It was a difficult situation knowing that her parents normally have almost no rules for her and for the most part don't even know what she is up to. However we weren't going to have it be like that while she was staying with us which she responded to it very well and was very respectful to the decisions that we made. We were able to have really good discussions with her and challenge her to think more about what I life honoring of God should look like.
- We skyped with our new candidate coach and got moved along to the application process. There is quite an extensive list of things that we need to get done all before July 15th which is in the middle of English Camp so our goal is to be done before that. We are probably close to half way done although we still have the Theological questionnaire yet to be finished so please be praying for guidance and motivation to get everything finished.
- Allie (our summer intern) did arrive well and has been working on adjusting to life here. The language barrier has proven to be a bigger barrier to overcome for her than for some so please be in prayer for her. Pray that she will be able to really connect with a few of the girls during the next few weeks before English Camp and that God will show her where He is already working so that she can come and work alongside Him.
- Pfiju came and went and it was a great time had by all. Seth really got to know some of the youth that came with our group better as well as many other believers from around Austria. It was also a really good challenging time for many of our youth. Be praying that they will continue to grow and be challenged in their faith.
- Seth's cousin will now be visiting us at the end of July after English camp which makes me a lot more excited for it considering we will have more room to breath then.
- Still the same prayer for the other girl that will come and stay with us for a week starting on the 25th and then will be leaving the same day that we will be for English Camp on July 2nd!
- The big updated prayer is that we will be heading back to the states in August sometime during the first couple weeks and are looking at setting a date sometime in the next couple days so please be praying for that. God has really been providing with everything. Providing someone to move into our apartment and take all of our stuff, a car for us in the states, a potential place to live, a potential apartment for when we come back as well as many many more things. There are still many things to plan and get working out but I am very excited to see how God is going to use us in the coming months!

I think that updates you with the main things that are going on right now in our life. Please especially be praying for the whole transition process for us. It is very common to experience culture shock again as coming back to your own culture after being away. Pray also for the plane ride and things as we will have Naomi with us and just the we will be very motivated to get things done that we need to. Thanks again for all your prayers! I hope you all had a great Father's day as well :)
