It's almost midnight and we just got back into our room! Thankfully we did pretty well sleeping our first night since we kept ourselves up til midnight local time and only woke up once during the night so we feel like we got a jump start on our jet lag. We had a wonderful breakfast in our cute little hotel but then had to get out for a walk in the fresh air since Rod and Julie were not feeling so well... thankfully that passed and our team came back for a short review of our presentation before our host (Greg) came to pick us up in the early afternoon. Greg brought us to his house where his wife (Jelena) had made an incredible lunch for us of rabbit stew, shephard's pie and tiramisu... yum! Can you tell we are going to come home a few pounds heavier!
Their church services here are in the evenings since Sunday is a big day to spend with your family so we gathered around 6pm for worship and then our team gave a compressed 1 hour presentation on Saddleback's Purpose Driven Journey as the evening service. Rod was able to do his part in Serbian, and we were so thankful to have Jelena translate for the rest of us. After church we were able to meet and spend some time getting to know people... it was so encouraging to see how this church reaches out to the youth... they were so thankful the Lord had brought them a group of young people as the result of an English Christian Camp that was held a few weeks ago in a city not far away... these teenagers are on fire for the Lord and anxious to get connected with the church to how they can serve and be part of the family of God.
Well, that's it for Sunday's update... Lord willing we'll blog again tomorrow.
