Sorrrrrrryyy guys for the long time lapse. If it’s any consolation.. I have a good excuse… we went to Scotland! Dave and Betsy were invited to speak at the North British Isles District Assembly, so Ben and I got to tag along. Wow where to even begin, the first part of our trip was a mini vacation. We spoke at a couple of churches and were able to see quite a bit of Scotland. We went to see the William Wallace monument and the Stirling Castle. Another day we were able to visit a Loch on probably one of the most beautiful days we had the entire trip. We were also able to have fish and chips on a couple of occasions, one of which they handed me this fried patty looking thing and told me to eat it… never again . It was haggis, if you don’t know what it is, look it up. I think I was the only one that didn’t like it, just couldn’t get past what it was. But, I can now say that I have had haggis.
The second part of our trip was the Assembly. This was by far my favorite part. One night I was sitting in the service thinking “how cool is this that I’m at a District Assembly in Scotland”. It blows my mind the opportunities God is providing. Anyway, back to the Assembly, we were able to meet so many people; a few of them are coming to Croatia for a mission’s trip. It was great because often you don’t meet your teams until they land at the airport but this Assembly gave us the opportunity to begin to build those relationships. I’ve got to say, this team is awesome and I’m excited to see what God has in store for them.
At the Assembly, it really got me excited again about what is happening in Croatia. It was so encouraging to see so many churches alive and thriving! It gives me hope about Croatia. That could be us in a few years; WE could have a District Assembly. That blows my mind to even think about it! (There's a lot on mind blowing happening J) There is no doubt in my mind that God has this incredible plan for Croatia and I feel so fortunate to be a part of it!
