We are so thankful for another safe day of travel. Today, we checked out of our hotel in the huge city of Belgrade and were able to return our car with a partial refund for the unused days since we decided to fly south to Podgorica, Montenegro instead of driving the 10 hour drive on windy roads thru the steep mountains. We ended up waiting in the lobby of our hotel for almost an hour waiting for our rental car guy to come pick up the car and where we were sitting was kind of a library setting, so we left a “What on Earth Am I Here For” booklet in the library in case an English speaker happen to see it. We had a very nice taxi driver we were able to get into conversation with about what our purpose was in town.
So now we have arrived at our small hotel in Podgorica. Lord willing tomorrow we will make contact with a missionary family that lives near by that has a small church in town and we might have another contact to make a connection with as a referral from someone we met in Belgrade last night.
Please pray for continued health as my (Julie’s) cold is now in my head and I have totally lost my voice and for Janet as she suffered from shingles about 5 weeks before our trip and a small patch came back last night that is really itchy.
Another prayer request is for a friend we met yesterday in Belgrade who just graduated from a university in Belgrade with a degree in Orthodox theology… but his heart is evangelical and he wrote a paper on how the protestants and orthodox need to build a bridge to work together. He is praying to be accepted to do his masters degree in the USA, either at Yale school of divinity or at a college in Seattle depending on where he can be accepted and then he will return to Serbia to continue the bridge building between the Protestants and the Orthodox here.
