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!

  1. Great update, Laura! Always looking forward to yours.
    I now realize that you must have received choreography and dance teaching as another spiritual gift. Annie Jr. was fantastic!
    Thanks and praise for your mission! Praying for good completion and safe trip home.
