The Church in Austria: Our week in pictures 6/16-6/22/13

Austria is a country with unquestioned religious heritage….

…that’s why when last weekend we had 5 people publically profess their faith by being baptized in the Danube, it is such an encouragement to all!

Central Europe Flood: Viennese Danube

There has been some major flooding around central Europe this week. The Danube was out of it’s banks and causing major damage in towns across Germany and Austria. Fortunately for us Vienna has really good flood-protection measures in place. None the less we are watching it pretty closely and ready to go if we need to.
Here is a video I took yesterday showing the swollen river and where it is in relation to our home.

Here is a before and after shot. Keep in mind that usually the water is about three feet below that grassy area.

Here are some other pictures of the river near our neighborhood.

Our Market: Our Week in Pictures (April 21st-April 27th 2013)

We have this amazing market at our U-Bahn (subway) station.  It’s so rare in the city to find fresh produce so cheaply.

This doesn’t have much to do with the market I just like the sign.
