Fresh

On Monday we visited our priest-friend Daniel's parish. He is the priest of the third largest church in Vienna and we got to get a tour.


We then spent a lot of time talking about Catholicism and how most Austrians believe/think. It was really interesting to get his insight. It was also enlightening to hear his view on the different symbols in the Catholic Church. There are so many that sometimes it can seem confusing, or may seem like the symbols are the religion. But with the way Daniel explained, it all makes a lot more sense. I'm thankful for these moments that help me to pray for the people I am surrounded by. Austrians need God and being a "Catholic Nation" does not mean that they know Him.

We also enjoyed a quaint thanksgiving feast yesterday. It was a lovely time of fellowship, football, food, friends, and freedom. :)
