Yesterday we had the privilege of joining the Serbian believers for their house group at our friend Jovica's house. We sang some songs in English for them which they liked a lot and then we sang Amazing Grace each in our own languages at the same time and that was really neat too. Hearing Jovica pray in Serbian almost brought tears to my eyes. A few other Serbs came including a boy named Marko who is around our age. He speaks very good English and said he'll be happy to join us around town any day once he gets out of school in the morning so that will be great to have him around more after the camp.
Jovica (Yo-veet-sah) spoke from Luke 10 last night on the good Samaritan. He spoke entirely in Serbian to the Serbs visiting the group while the Americans huddled near the missionary's wife who translated in whispers so we could follow along. After the study and a few games of darts we left Jovica's house and ate at a nice restaurant on a boat by the river.
We learned that Jovica will be with us all week at the camp which is a huge relief since we didn't know if we would have anyone we knew there with us for the whole time and we've come to really love Jovica and his family.
Today we will be taking a day trip into the mountains to hike, sight see and take some pictures. We're going with our missionary's good friend "Chos-eh" (can't figure out how to type it with the special characters). He was with us at the river and made the soup that we loved so much. He's a big guy who doesn't really have anything to do during the day so the missionary asked him to take us up there and he jumped at the opportunity. He's hilarious, and his English is better than average so we should be good in communicating with him today. It should be a fun trip and a nice change of pace from what we have been doing the last few days.
I'll try to upload some pictures soon. I still don't have a lot from the city because I didn't want to mark myself as a tourist but I'll try to upload what I do have from some sports outings, the river, today's mountains and even some ones from our layover in Frankfurt that are pretty entertaining. Hopefully I can find time to do that tonight or tomorrow morning :)
