India was amazing! We
arrived a few days early so we were able to see a bit of Chennai before the
conference started. The conference was
incredible. There was about 260 people
there and 19 different nationalities! So
we literally got to meet people from all over the world (or at least Eurasia). God was really working at this conference; it
was a great time of growth. On our way
back to Croatia we had a layover in Istanbul so we went into the city. It was amazing! So beautiful!
As promised here are some pictures from India, sorry it took a bit
longer to get them to you!

My time spent at home these past couple of months have been
amazing! It was so great to be able to see family and friends, relax,
and get some beach time in :). While being home, I've had a lot
of time to think about what this next year is going to look like. It’s
going to be intense but amazing. God is working in Croatia and I am so
blessed to be a part of it.
Now that I’m back
in Croatia I've been trying to adjust back into life here, dealing with a
little homesickness and some culture shock. I've been here almost a week now and ready to get started in
ministry.
This time around has been quite different than my last
experience. Yes it’s the same location
but some variables have changed. I've really been trying to figure out where I fit in this time around. I went to coffee with a friend today, at one
point she asked me “Steph, why did you come back?” I told her it’s because of
the Roma, they have captured my heart.

We still don’t know the specifics of what all will be happening or what exactly I will be doing, but
God does and I have full faith that God will lead me where to go. One day at a time.
Please continue to pray for our team and discernment.
Excited for this new chapter!
Steph
