In a land far far away...

Once upon a time (yesterday) a girl named Christina and her friend named Anna took off on a little adventure. They drove and drove against heavy traffic with the hot winds blowing in their face because they had no air conditioning, and then finally arrived at a beautiful lake...













Sadly the sun had just hidden itself behind a cloud. But the two girls determined to relax from their stressful weeks at camp decided to stay anyway. Once the rains came they jumped back in their car and drove until they found the garden home of Tito (former leader of Yugoslavia). This home had been turned into a coffee shop overlooking the beautiful Lake Bled with the small island in the middle! So they decided to stop in for a cup of coffee...













Inspired by the beauty of the castle-like-home, the picture of Tito watching over them from above, and the thunder storm raging outside, they took out a rather exciting and scary novel and began to read to each other. They read for hours. Even the waitress became curious and asked questions about what they were reading...













At times the story became so intense and the thunder and lightning outside so ominous that the two girls shook with fear!













But they just kept on reading...













Finally after many hours the tired little girls climbed back into their car and drove home. What an adventure! What a day!!

I leave today for a two week theological training program up in the mountains of Slovenija! It should be pretty incredible!

Cakovec Camp Slideshow...

Free Hugs...

At camp we showed a Free Hugs video. Well some of our students were touched by this and set off to do their own Free Hugs Campaign. They ended up making their own video too. This is why I love my job!!!!!!!!!

Camp Camp Camp...

Just got back from two camps literally back to back. Junior High Day Camp in Ljubljana (which I still dont have pictures from yet) and then the day after that I turned around and went to Cakovec Croatia to help out some friends with an English Camp down there. I got back and am pretty exhausted. I posted some fun pictures on my album if you want to see them. Our internet modem broke so if you are wondering why I havent called you or responded to your email now you know. I have limited email access and my phone isnt working since its through the internet. Hopefully it will all be up and working soon. Sunday starts a two week theological training camp in the mountains of Sovenija. Meanwhile Im resting and reading the newest Harry Potter (THANKS GASPER!).

Junior high

Camp starts again today....

God Bless America...

Today a group of us went over to Johnny's house for a 4th of July BBQ. Afterwards, since we didnt have an American Flag, we found one on Google and all stood around the computer. We said the Pledge of Allegiance, sang the Star Spangled Banner, and then watched a fireworks show on the computer. It didnt last long though cause a little box kept popping up on the screen telling us "this is a trial version please register for the real version" or something like that. Well, it was memorable at least!!

Fun pictures from an incredibly fun week...

It was seriously one of the best camps Ive ever done. And here are the pictures to prove it!
