Dear Family and Friends,
It’s that amazing time of year
again. When school is passed and summer begins! Not that we are at all glad the
semester is over, that means many friends and loved ones are to depart back to
the states or other parts of the world. We are just excited for this next
season of life.
Jono
and I will be here for the next three weeks approximately. We are going to be
helping out here at the school with conferences and daily service needs until
the Day of June 9th, when we will meet Chaney in Budapest! We will
be travelling with my best friend Chaney this summer via Planes, trains and
automobiles all over Europe.
Your
next Question is probably “Where in Europe are you going?” I know this is the
next question you would ask because 99% of the time people ask that after I
tell them we are backpacking for the summer, which is great that people actually
want to know! However, I always respond “Everywhere”! as we are indeed, going
everywhere. We are starting in Budapest, going down to Croatia, and from there,
everywhere else. We plan to do 15 countries in 5 weeks, overambitious yes? Fun,
definitely Yes! We are very excited, nervous, happy, and every other emotion
one could feel in these moments.
We have
been praying and asking the Lord, Jesus for direction for our lives after this.
We have had a few offers in ministry, but we feel that the Lord is leading us
to stay here, in Vajta. We decided to step out in faith despite the lack of
funds, and now here we are, some of the next interns for the fall semester! We
have been accepted into the internship program. From this we will receive the
last remaining credits we need to get our bachelors, and will also be serving
the students and staff as well.
The
only problem, which is really not a problem, is we are waiting on the Lord to
provide the necessary funds. We feel that the Lord is leading us here and if He
really is, He will provide the money. We know that He can and He will, but
please pray for us as we move in this direction that the Lord would provide for
us to be here and that we would have faith in him and his past faithfulness to
us.
The
internship program is a 13 month commitment, and if we started in the fall we
would not be finished until Next September, 2013. This is a big commitment, and
truly quite sad for us and many of our family and friends. Our deepest regrets
to all or family and friends that we will not be with you for a while longer,
we dearly love each and every one of you! I am reminded of a verse my teacher
shared with us. “Though I am absent from you in the flesh, I am with you in
Spirit rejoicing to see your good order and steadfastness in Christ!”(Colossians
2:5).
We will
try to keep you updated until our departure! Please let us know if there is any
way we can be praying for you all, we are with you in Spirit!
Love,
Sarah and Jono
