My Summer in Pictures


I have been way too busy enjoying my summer to post any updates here on the blog!  So I thought I would try to capture the highlights in this post.  

 I will post again soon with some specific prayer requests for my upcoming year serving as a 1st grade teacher at the International Christian School of Budapest!  

There are so many people I saw that I did not get  pictures with! :(  But I will try my best to share the pictures I have! Also, a lot of this is out of order. Oh well!
