Vacation in Graz

The last time we got out of Bosnia was back in September so it was about time we had another break. We were invited to attend a leaders meeting in Graz, Austria with the Millers, Don Prokop, and various other (mostly german speaking) pastors. We stayed at the Millers home and arrived early to get a few days of playtime in before the meeting's started. As usual we had our fill of Burger King, the mall, and Ikea. The boys had saved up their money and had fun at the Toy stores. Most of the toys in Bosnia are cheaply made or too expensive.
The meeting's lasted three days and included a speaker, lots of business discussion, and lots of prayer. The best part about the gathering is the prayer times. Each group is prayed over and receives encouraging words from the Lord for each other. Stacy and I were both crying when we got prayed for. God spoke through these people and touched out hearts in a big way. God is so good to provide this place of refreshing for us.
After the meetings were finished we headed to Slovenia for a three day stay at a Hot Springs resort. It's like an indoor water park with really warm water complete with slides and wave pools. The boys were in heaven while mom and dad stressed about where they were at all times. Well we didn't stress too much. Braden wore floaties and is on his way to swimming. Caleb just sat at the shallow part and played with his boat most of the time. Gage and Nick were everywhere and even made some english speaking friends.
We are back home now and unfortunately came home to a lot of chaos. Our water heater is broken and all the snow melted so the river is up really high. When this happens the city shuts off our water. So there's laundry and dishes to be done and no water, yuck! But it's still good to be home.
