A Czech Circus???

Ok, so random fact I forgot to mention....at our last conference (in May) our whole group was surprised with an exclusive, private showing of a Czech circus traveling through the area. Everyone loaded into 3 charter buses without being given even a hint of where we were headed! I live the most bizarre life!

The Circus Master is missionary Dan Hash who wore a headset connected to Mel and Lucka who fed him "translation" of the real lines being spoken. We laughed so hard we hurt as we listened to his improvisation. 

Ok so this isnt actually me....but Im pretty sure I had the same look on my face the whole time. This is one of the missionary kids enjoying the circus.  

David and Johnny in the back with the rest of my Josiah Venture missionary friends from other countries...I love our lives.... 

Slovene Snapshot...

About a year a go there was talk about having a camp for all girls.
The purpose would be to get girls away to talk about issues of beauty,
purity, and relationships. Time went on and it became obvious that I
was the one that would lead the camp. For the past few months, with
the help of Glorija, I have been developing a program for this special
week. And this Saturday is the first day of camp! It will be on the
Island of Krk in Croatia. A beautiful location!

The significance of this camp is huge! Nothing like this has ever been
offered to Slovene high school girls before. Ever. As far as we know
in the history of Slovenija this is the first! This is very exciting
and also intimidating to me, so I would LOVE your prayers. On the
logistical side of things, we are still in need of two girls to sign
up in order to break even (cost-wise). On the spiritual side of
things the topic we will be discussing is inner beauty. My hearts
prayer is that girls will be experience a new freedom and a
recognition that they are loved with a love deeper then they can
imagine.

Will you pray for us this week?
I will keep you posted!

Two Camps done...

Well I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. Austria Camp was wonderful. I had an all girls class and they were just a ton of fun! We had great discussions at night and fun Shania Twain Dance parties when they got sleepy. The junior high camp that we are doing here in Ljubljana actually ends today. I wasnt super involved in that one because of staff overload. But everytime I would drop by kids seemed to be having a blast. It looks like a group of those kids may join us at church today! Looks like we might start a junior high group this year?? Thank you for your faithfulness shown in your prayers and emails. They lift up my heart like you wouldnt believe!

Austria Camp

Camp one down...only three to go! I really had a great week with the students and the Lord really touched students' hearts in different ways. Mine included!! We finished camp yesterday and tonight we have a camp reunion and training for our new American Team, busy day. Tomorrow we start camp again! This time it is a day camp in Ljubljana. So I get to sleep in my own bed... more to come...

I love Camp... 

Marusa and I got to be friends this week at camp!
