Fabulous Friday

Friday morning we woke early and headed to the church for breakfast and a bit of prayer. Schmidt stopped by the church to pick up Jamie, Deb & B.J. so they could visit with a family at the refugee camp. Jill and I hung back and helped Nada and Veronika make some nice gifts for tonight's guest speaker and her companions. We also set up some tables & decorations in the church for the Women's Event this evening. We had a delicious lunch of "pita" which is sort of like filled bread sticks 12 inches long. There were cheese, potato and sour cherry.

Later in the afternoon we went to visit and pray with Mira at her home. Her gardens outdoors are just delightful. She has kiwi vines lining the path to the doorway and a huge persimmon tree that provides shade from the afternoon sun. She also has many varieties of roses and other plants on her property. Mira has been a Christian for a short time but her maturity in Christ was wonderful to witness and we were honored to be able to spend some time with her.

We went to the Holstead's home for dinner with the Novi Most team. Ali & Becca made three delicious currie dishes for us to enjoy, two mild and one fiery hot with rice and a cucumber yogurt sauce to cool the mouth. We all were sad that Mick is in England with his father who has been ill but it was wonderful to spend time with Ali, Sam, Chloe, Ivica, Becca, and Eleanor. Ali made a dessert from a recipe she got from an American Missionary, fabulous brownies! She also served ice cream and strawberries and we all ate way too much because everything was so yummy! It was a real blessing to hear about the ministry at Novi Most and learn about how we can pray for the ministry going forward.

Again we got back to the house and were physically and emotionally spent. God is so good and we are enjoying resting in him with our Herzegovinian Family!
