Performer.

Last Friday night, our team went out to the party district with music and cinnamon roll from 10pm-2am. We had a lot of really great conversations with different people who just wanted to hang out. The man with the guitar was a street performer who really enjoyed playing with us. We invited a lot of people to our Saturday concert.

Tonight we went out with music on the streets from 7-9pm and hung out with some more people. Using our music as a way to meet people is really awesome and then we can tell them why we are Austria and let the conversation flow from there. It has created lots of amazing opportunities.

I am really tired, so mucho loves.

Pray for sound equipment for Saturday!

pretty mess.

This was my idea for some street art, which really just turned into a day in the park hanging out with Alida and Justen. I had so much fun making it, we used yarn and cardboard frames. As Justen called it, it was an "pretty mess". We only got to talk to 3 people, out of those conversations nothing really came but it was still good. It at least shakes people's ordinary lives up a little bit. We had a lot of fun and really wanted to stay longer.

hilarious.

lastweek...

Okay this is part of an email I sent to my parents about last week...

This week we are all about street evangelism, which I knew we were doing but it is a lot harder than I thought it was. Someone told me to just be myself however, if I was being myself I don't think I would be doing anything like going up to random strangers and talking to them. It is really interesting to try to show your love in 2-5 minutes. So what we have been up to is this... We are currently with 2 other teams from Norway, another DTS group who is almost done with their outreach and a group of 3 evangelists from the School of Evangelism. We meet 2 times a day from 3-6 and 7-10. We have gone, 3 times. On Tuesday we went twice but we are going once a day now. I have sang all three times and talk to a few people, invited them to an event on Saturday. The plan is to sing and entertain and then other people from the teams can talk to the people who stop and hopefully everybody who hears will be blessed. We have gotten to talk to a lot of people because of it but it is really hard sometimes I feel like I am singing to a lifeless brick wall but sometimes it is really fun and then you see a conversation start up and it is fantastic. I am all over the place!

We are staying all together on the floor of an old smelly YMCA, it is pretty funny, gross, but really fun. I am really enjoying family style, small meals! Tonight I am making some chicken. That should be good!

I am loving a lot and some much stuff is hard. Some other really good things: I think God is stretching, pulling, and growing me, it is super fun to go to the store and see normal prices! Yesterday, I went to the store and bought some German Purple Cow chocolate! Yum. 1 euro. I get to teach about art evangelism and encouragement on Saturday! We don't really know if anybody is going to come but then I think we would still do it! haha practice! We are right in the city! we get to see amazingly old beautiful buildings every time we take the train some place, castles and cathedrals. Public transportation has been really fun to take around. I am having a lot of fun with my team mates.

Next week we are moving out and off the floor of the YMCA, into a really great YWAM building. I can't get any alone time here but in a week I can get a lot. Being an Alaskan girl or maybe just my independence makes me really hate the buddy system!

...

Okay, so the event went really good! I think maybe 20 or more people that were invited came and then the church people brought friends, so it was a full house. Some people gave their lives to Jesus and made church connections. Alida and I performed 3 songs, which is on tape, I will give you a link once the church puts it up.

Our team is now moved an hour out of Vienna, and I sleep in a bed!!! yeah, we are staying at a building YWAM is renting, it is really nice and big. Tonight we are helping at a youth group and tomorrow we will be hanging out with former homeless people and doing a service for them, which we prepared yesterday.

Some pictures.

Worst post cards I have ever seen... you would think they would actually make one with a good design!

Tried the back away method with a slow shutter speed and was quite pleased.

One of the many beautiful buildings that I stumbled upon while walking on my free times.

Awesome man.

So I haven't really said anything... about what I am doing. Basically I am slacking.

Last week we did street art and evangelism, it went really well. The week ended in an event with entertainment and a message on Saturday and Sunday, some people got saved and a lot of people that we had met and invited from the streets came. :)

Japan.

Well, if you didn't notice, there is was a tsunami in Japan today.
I normally don't check the news ever but I was on Youtube and then something about Japan popped up, and click click. I find out. I know one person in all of Japan, but I am shaken. I guess I didn't realize the love that has been growing in me for the people there. 1 in 3 have heard Jesus name and now extra will die today without knowing! Don't just pray, intercede for Japan.

first days.

Hallo.
Last couple days we have been doing street evangelism. Not my cup of tea but it has been okay. I have been singing with Alida and then talking to some people. We are inviting people to come to an event on Saturday so we will see how that goes. Pray for wisdom in what we say and for courage.

KATIE. :(

I do not know.

The world goes 'round,

repeat repeat.

The days go on,

repeat repeat.

Lost and found,

fills and empties.

Plates and cups,

washed and dirtied.

Friends and foes,

eb and flow.

Facial hair,

shaved and then grown.

But somethings progress,

always changing,

New becomes old and then is replaced.

New becomes old sometimes it stays.

New becomes old it will slowly change.

glowings.

We went to city look out a couple weeks ago, it was so beautiful! I didn't bring a tripod so there wasn't much point in taking pictures, but I took a few and you can use your imaginiation and look 180 degrees to see the other glowing islands to the left and to the right...
