Crystal was right! Its time for an update!This is a picture of when we went go cart-ing... I am not sure how to say that :) This is me, Giva, and Lara. It was fun! I got fourth place out of all the girls! Ha... I think there were only 7 girls total. I didn't really know anyone except Lara, but I met a couple people. I am still hanging out with Lara and Maja!! I got to have a really interesting conversation with Lara about what she believes and then I got to share what I believe. I am really excited to continue talking through some of these things with her! I got to meet some significant people in their lives :) So thats fun! I really enjoy those sisters!
Johnny, Brooke, and Me :)This was last Monday on our day off! It was seriously one of the best days ever! We walked around town with our mint hot chocolate and ate roasted chestnuts! I now like them after trying them 3 times!! It has been and incredible fall here!! Best ever!!
Wednesday, we had our monthly team meeting in Ljubljana! It was a productive, informative meeting! It is always so good to see everyone! I love the structure of our team here in Slovenia! They feel more like a family, then just team members!! What a blessing!!
This week we had youth group! 5 students showed up and we had printed out some current event articles and talked about them! It was cool to get our minds thinking about things going on around the world and how it does or doesn't affect us. I was reminded of how small I am, but how thankful that I serve a God that still loves little, tiny, me :) Then we came back to Johnny and Brooke's to watch the soccer game and play mexican train! FUN!
Yesterday in church, I had the kids! Well the toddlers! They are so cute and fun! THEN, Johnny and I ran 10 MILES!! It was seriously the most perfect weather and day to run! It was probably the fastest, best, long run I have ever had. We both felt like we were going at a faster pace then normal, but it felt so good! We ran for about an hour and 45 minutes! Brooke was so kind to bring us water about an hour into our run! Why was it the best feeling to see her, I don't know, but it was so encouraging! She is the best encourager EVER!!! So then Johnny and I finished our run! I am so thankful that she will be there to encourage us October 25th, at the marathon! Oh and I don't know if I mentioned but Johnny just started running with me a week ago... Insane that he just busted out 10 miles! And did a great job!
Today is Monday! And can I just say, thank the Lord for days of rest! Again, Mondays are our days off so really enjoy them to the fullest! I woke up today to rain! Ahhh, its the best feeling ever when its raining outside and you know you get to stay inside all day and chill! So Johnny made home-made butter milk biscuits and then we watched the BRONCO game with our hot chocolate! Can I just say, GO BRONCOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSAHHH!!! I mean what a GREAT day!! Haha! We all three keep saying what a great day this is!
Brooke is making BBQ chicken for dinner and my stomach is growling because it smells soooo good!! I am seriously so blessed to live with J and B! I really haven't craved any food because I eat SOOO GOOD here!! They are awesome and most of the time when I think about the impact they have and continue to make in my life, I get choked up! I am sure that I will blog about that later... like a thanksgiving blog or something BUT I am a strong believer in not waiting til a season or event or holiday to tell someone how much they mean to you and how much you love them! Every thanksgiving, its a family tradition to go around the dinner table and say what we are thankful for that year and I already know what I am thankful for this year and its Johnny and Brooke! :) I wish everyone had a Johnny and Brooke in their life. I DON'T take them for granted! Ok... well I wasn't planning on going on going off about how incredible they are, but I went there!
I pray that you enjoy your Monday as much as I am! There is a little update for ya! Much love from Slovenia!
