a day in the life of a missionary :-P

Training is over and we're officially in Slovenia (and have been for a little over a day).

We've been staying at David and Katka’s apartment. Today was our day of rest.. and boy did we take advantage of that! We didn't even THINK of rolling out of bed until after 10 :-) SWEET DEAL! That's what I'm talking about :-)

Neja came and visited after her test around 2 and finally Mary and I left the house at 4 to take her to the bus stop. I can barely believe that's even possible to not even step foot outside until 4... especially when both of us are healthy.

We were gone maybe 15 minutes and then we sat down to watch Pride and Prejudice (which I've never seen) and enjoyed some wonderful, home made, Slovene hamburgers. The movie ended just as Mateja came and joined the party.

A little before 8 David, Katka, Mateja, Mary and I all got in the car to see Gašper at a 'drum' performance. We were in for a real treat. At this concert there were many performers who played marimbas, drums and other percussion instruments. Did you know that one player can actually play with 4 sticks!! I was so incredibly impressed with the talent displayed. Gašper really stole the show with his creativity though… wish we had taken some more pics.

Then we came home around 10 PM and enjoyed great conversations over a home cooked meal- Chicken, corn, rice, followed by some wicked awesome ice cream.

But don’t let today fool you, today was our ‘lazy day’. We are so pumped for these next couple of days and about what the missionaries are going to teach us. They're really trying to give us a vision of what our lives will look like some day. Including obstacles we'll have to overcome like: transportation, language, shopping, how to plan successful outreach stuff, etc.

We’ve had a full day and we’re heading to bed.
