As part of the P.E. program at school, my girls are ice skating. Ice skating is taken very seriously here. Everyone (and I mean everyone) has their own skates, their own bag to keep their own skates in, and skating paraphernalia (ski pants, helmets, etc.). It’s major! To be Austrian is many things … one of them is to know how to skate! In a few weeks we have a weeklong break called Energy Break. The girls and I plan on doing some serious skating then downtown at the Rathaus. That’s all I will say about that … so I don’t blow my blog for that week. Stay tuned!

This week Chris and I finish our last week of class in our B2/1 level. Only one more to go, B2/2 … and then THE test. Funny how we’ve gotten to this point. Way back in the days of A1/2 … I remember trying to carry on a conversation and having my brain go into spasms … after 3 minutes. Today we just got back from our friend, Walter’s home, having spent 4 ½ hours conversing … and my brian is OK (relatively speaking … I do have issues but that’s another blog!). Trust me; it’s not bragging about my German speaking ability … it’s totally bragging on a BIG God who can still do miracles! I just want to shout from the mountain tops that my God is BIG and when He makes promises … He keeps them! Chris and I saw, through only faith eyes, the day we would be doing this … and today … it has happened! I love my Dad … for keeping his promises and doing far beyond what I could even think or imagine!!
