SUCCESS! We had three guys show up for our "class" and we got to talk with them for an hour and a half or so. They were our age and their English was very good for not being English majors in college.
Jovica came again with his daughters and we talked about everything from how old we were to our favorite vacations to dreams and we even had a short conversation about karate (because one of the guys was champion of Yugoslavia). Only one of them had Facebook but we "friended". Pretty special. They'll hopefully be back again today for the last day of it.
We are also expecting a few others to come including a guy we met the first week of being here at the basketball courts. We played with him again last night and invited him to come and he said that he would like to. We exchanged Facebook information last night and I expect to talk with him at some point this morning.
Today's group forecast promises to be the largest group we've had. I'm working on the plans for the group while the girls get some shopping done before they have women's group with Jovica's wife at their house at 2. Tonight we may head back out to the basketball courts and test our mettle against the Serbian street ballers. I won both of my games last night and have developed, in my head at least, the start of a pretty startling reputation among the streets of Kraljevo. Hopefully I can use this new found imaginary fame to meet more people.
Please pray for our group as we prepare for another day of English class and that the people we meet there wouldn't just come away with English knowledge but American friends as well. Also pray for strength. Everyone has been feeling really tired lately and it's a little strange since we've been getting more sleep than at the start of the trip and even at camp.
Devotionals are going well, quiet times are solid, chemistry is clicking and our mission is clear. Pray for our obedience and our love for this city, it's residents and each other.
Ciao :)
