first phase of saying goodbye

We had the time of our lives serving along side some of the greatest people here in Slovenia. Spending time with them outside of camp is such a treat. Here are some more pictures from fun outings.



Sasa, Meta, Mary and I had some fun together before Neja's birthday party. We got ice cream and chatted... I'm gonna miss these girls. For those of you who don't know Sasa (sasha) is in the yellow and Meta (may-ta) is in the floral shirt.

this is our very own Neja (Nay ya) celebrating her 21st birthday :-)



I wish we had some better group photos but we'll have to settle for some individual ones.

Sasa and Mateja (Mah teh ya)




This group is just so much fun!! Last week we all got together and went out to drinks (non alcoholic- don't worry mom). We enjoyed just being with each other... again no great group photos...

Naja (Nai ya) and us



Miso (Mee sho) and us



These guys are our peers and our family. In their everyday lives they face rejection and have to fight for their faith. They are our heroes.


Don't forget to pray for them! Many of them are attending Theological school this week and will be learning lots of great things about our Lord. Pray for the spiritual warfare that they may face.

Like Lindy was saying we love these people so much. We love them for many specific reasons because of who they are. We love them because we've seen how they serve God and because we have served with them. We love them because we see the love of Christ in them. And we love them because they are our family here.

As I think we've said before, for most of our brothers and sisters in Christ over here, the church is the only supportive family they have when it comes to the most important thing in their lives which is Christ. Because of this there is a deep bond between believers. We were privileged to be invited into this family too and we are so blessed to be considered as that.

We have so many dreams for Slovenija and our futures here, most of which are still too elusive and scattered to write about. But as our heart for the needs here grows, the most exciting dream by far is the one where we get to serve with our amazing peers in Slovenija. Can't really explain how awesome that could be. Anybody want to join us in dreaming that way?
