Senior Trip – CROATIA!

Senior Trip - CROATIA!

Summer has started which means I finally have some time to update the blog. Yes, I know, this is very exciting for everyone! I think I can hear some of you cheering. 🙂

May 29 – June 4 was the senior trip. We got to spend the week in Umag, Croatia. It was beautiful! Thank you so much to those of you who prayed for safety, fun, and quality time. It was an incredible trip.

We took two side trips while we were there. One day we went to Pula to see the Roman Amphitheatre. Another day we took a cruise down the coast of Croatia to the city of Rovinj. Beautiful!

By far the best thing about the trip was the opportunity for the students to spend time together and start saying their goodbyes. We had time each evening to talk with them about transition and life after high school. You can continue to pray for them in the coming months as they start school, jobs, and military service. It’s going to be a big year for each of them.

Family Fun Day

Family Fun Day '10

May 13th was Ascension Day, and in Austria that’s a national holiday. Each year on Ascension Day VCS has a school-wide picnic called Family Fun Day. It’s one of my favorite days of the year because everyone is there: students, parents, siblings, friends. The weather was great this year, so there was plenty going on. Kids and adults alike were playing basketball, soccer, and badminton. There were also water fights, frisbee games, and skateboarding. One of the best parts of the day is eating all the delicious foods that the families bring. Filipino noodles = YUM! What a fantastic day!

As part of a biography project with the third and fourth graders, I asked them to tell me one thing they know is true about God. Here are some of their answers:

  • He is always with me forever and he is my best friend.
  • He died for my sins.
  • I know that God loves me.
  • He is my father and he is with us all the time.
  • He loves us always.
  • I know that God is my king.
  • I know that Jesus loves me and that he was on the cross.
  • God loves us no matter what we do. God is with us wherever we are.
  • I know that God is with me forever.
  • I know that God is my father and I am his child.
  • He is the BEST of all because he created the whole world.
  • He is my savior.
  • He is everlasting.
  • God is always guiding me anywhere I go.
  • He gives me wisdom.
  • He is almighty.
  • He can do anything.
  • God is WONDEROUS!!!

Amen.
