Our last day of English class we had 4 guys drop out and only one new friend came. We met him on the basketball courts the night before and he was really really nice. We talked with him for a while and then said we would love to get dinner with him tonight so we are. We're meeting him at 6 and going to one of his favorite restaurants he was talking to us about yesterday. Should be fun :) and a good opportunity to know him better.
We're about to leave to meet our friend Paul in town for coffee. We met him our first day here at his popcorn stand and we've visited him off and on when we go into town. We love him and he's been really kind to us. He's given me free popcorn three times now and so I promised him that I would at least cover his coffee if we ever got some and today's the day.
Tonight the girls are meeting another friend in town for coffee and Josh and I will most likely go back out to hit the basketball courts since that's recently been our most successful spot to meet people and it always feels good getting to run around some and sweat a bit.
Some extra news. We've discovered that Sarah has a problem ordering water. We all say the word, "voda" but when she says it the waiters have been bringing her coke instead. It's fascinating, and sad, but always hilarious. We'll continue to experiment during the last week and a half of our time here.
Last night we ate at one of the best places in town according to most of the people we've met here, Lapi Boro. They had really good gulash but the best part of our experience was watching the way they cleared the table. Most people clean the table when you leave. It's ok to take a plate or two before you leave but not clean the actual table cloth... not lepi boro. The guy came by in the middle of our meal and started hand vacuuming our table cloth. We moved our plates and glasses so that he could get suck up every inch. It was certainly a different experience and we tried not to laugh from disbelief while he was doing it.
The girls found a dog they love. It lives a street over and her name tag says Dandy. It's a golden retriever and never fails to make Shelby do her cute animal squeak. Every time we're going that direction we'll rearrange our route to pass Dandy... you know, for the girls.
The missionaries are now in Belgrade. Please continue to pray for them and their whole family. It would be hard being overseas as a family member and not being able to get to the hospital for this. Thanks for your continued prayers and support. More updates to come :) Ciao.
