We arrived safely in Vienna, over a month ago on June 28th and were welcomed very warmly by the church. My job as associate pastor began on August 1st, which gave us time in July to work on the house and also to relax in our little garden.
And we needed the time, I mean we really needed it...
Before coming we expected a house we can just move into, but discovered that it really needs a lot of work. we are basically gradually painting all the rooms and renewing the floors, and are very thankful for some very faithful people from church without whom the project would be impossible.
We still have to settle a few questions related to the apartment with the former tenants and would appreciate your prayers. Having said all that, we are really grateful for this house, which has a lot of potential and we are really looking forward to hosting friends and strangers. But for now we are a bit tired of "camping" and are longing for a home.
We thank you for your prayers and look forward to hearing from you.
