Ben in Croatia
day 20

Wow I can't believe that we have been here 20 days, thats crazy. This week we had the privelege of teaching at a language camp for a High school from Maribor, Slovenia. They were all 3rd year students and we taught them some English it was awesome! There were 6 kids that I got to know in my class and they are some cool kids. We all had a lot of fun helping with games as well and we even had a cowboy night, haha. I got to teach them how to play some American Flag Football and I had a lot of fun.

This week at the camp was so great. We were right on the coast and got to see the Adriatic Sea. I came into the camp already having a rough time with some culture shock and God definetley showed up for me. I had some of the most spirit-filled days of my life at this camp. It is crazy that I went from really not wanting to be here in Croatia to God really being there for me and showing me that he has so much for me here. We tried to be very positive and encouraging to the students at camp this week and I hope that they sensed something different about us. I hope that some seeds (or something like that) were planted in their lives because I am confident that they were exposed to the grace of God at this camp in some way even though they dont realize it. So pray for the students from that school who were there! The names of the 6 kids who were in my class are: Rebeca, Nusa, Klemen, Jernej, Jure and Marko.

This coming week is our last free week before we start language school! So it is my last week to be an ignorant American not trying to speak Croatian at all :) haha. Thanks for checking on the blog and for your support.

Until next Sunday since that seems to be the trend,
