Jezik!!! (Language)

I wonder if there is an expression for trying to pack your brain full of a new language.  Maybe it is something along the lines of "Wow!  Calm down language!"  or even "Smiri se jezik!"

As Hope mentioned, we have started a three week intensive course to help us in the process of learning Croatian.  We have such a deep drive to learn how to communicate with the people here in their native tongue.  We hope that in our continual process of learning it (and speaking it), it will communicate love to the people around us.  I thought it would be good for you to have some pictures of us in language class since that is taking up a lot of our time which you can see below.

Other than that, we are preparing for the Scott's to be here.  The official green light for their new home should happen on Monday!!!!  Isn't that crazy?  Thank you so much for all the prayers.  We ask that you would continue to pray for their arrival here, the process to get registered, figuring out life here for them and just being a part of what's happening here in Croatia.

I would also like to say I had the honor of preaching at one of the church communities we are a part of here.  It was special for me because I had the opportunity to share about my dad.  It was special because God is able to use that story, and the continued process of it, to reach into the hearts and minds of people.  I'm thankful God redeems all things.  Please if God has moved in your life, share your story, rather God's story, with others.

May you live into the life God gives to us through Jesus in a new way this week.
