OCTOBER!!!!

Nothing super significant to mention today but just a quick update! First... I CANNOT BELIEVE ITS ALREADY OCTOBER 3! Crazy!! I love fall and this may just be my first year to recognize my love for it! Anyway!

Last Saturday we had youth group! Only 4 showed up but we still had fun! Playing forks (yes forks, not spoons, but they were plastic so it wasn't that bad. I think I was the only one with an injury:) not really just a little slice, no big) and rock band!

Petra, me, and Maja at youth group!

Sunday night we had a birthday party for Erin, our pastor's wife. She turned 30!!! That was fun! We ate lots of yummy food! (My fav was Brooke's incredible bean dip, there are no words) Then watched the new show Flash Forward! Really good! I think we are going to enjoy it!

This week... I have been hanging out with Maja and Lara a lot! It has been really nice and fun! One night we got ice cream and roasted chestnuts! Chestnuts are a huge thing here in the fall!! I dont know if I love them, but I still eat them :) We grabbed coffee one rainy day at this new 50's cafe! Its just like "Grease". I loved it! Then we got lunch at a Mexican Restaurant, if you can call it that! It was yummy though, but not really Mexican like in the states!
So Lara teaches an aerobic class on Tuesday and Friday nights... She invited me to come last night! (I was there for 2 hours because she teaches one at 6 and 7, so I just stayed for both) Needless to say, I am a little sore today, but I love it!

Sorry I don't have any pics of us! But today I am going to ride go carts (or something) with her and her boyfriend, so I will take some pics!!

Wednesday for church, Justin split us into groups and we did a prayer walk around the city in the shape of a cross! It was pretty cool! I was in a group with Marko and Amy and we walked by the schools and stopped and prayed for students that attend! We are praying for soft soil in the city of Celje! There are so many that need the love of Christ!!

This week, I have also been doing a lot of reading! Its becoming a hobby of mine :) I think I mentioned this, but Brooke and I are trying to read through the Bible by the time I leave here December 15th! It's called a Bible read through! Right now I am in Numbers! I have a long way to go :)

Ok well, there is a little bit for now! Hope all is well with your soul! If not, let me know how I can pray for you :)

"But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." Exodus 9:16

  1. Hey love. Well you might pray for me actually! I am kind of quitting my job tomorrow and taking a risk. I'm not sure if I passed my teaching tests yet, and I don't have any full-time job, but I feel like I need to quit now, and I am a little worried about the outcome. I know God is in control but wow, it's hard to let it go! I just need a great job to come along, and I need to be ready and willing. That's all!! I am so glad to hear about all the great things happening there!! (I love your pumpkin background too!) Grace and Peace. You are definitely going to read the bible by december.
