In Slovenia!

We made it with absolutely no problems with immigration!! What a blessing.

Our site coordinator is Daniel Pseude (try to say that ten times fast) and he is very wonderful with an incredible heart for God.  Today, he took us on a tour of the city and it is a great place.  We walked about ten minutes into town (what they call "The Center") and took a tour of all it had to offer on  Saturday, which included many people speaking Slovene, an antique car show, and even a vending machine serving fresh milk to interested Slovene buyers.  We also took a little hike up to a castle where a wedding was taking place, it was beautiful.  We walked back home through a gorgeous green park and made a short stop at the market for some food for the week (be thankful for those Wal Mart plastic bags that seem to accumulate exponentially in your homes, they must be purchased here in Slovenia). 

Daniel explained some of our ministry opportunities to us, and for the most part He is expecting us to take a lot of initiative, which makes me slightly nervous.  I know I'm going to need God's strength to do some outreach to those who don't even speak my language, but God brought me here and I know will not leave me.  Tomorrow we will attend a church with Daniel's roommate, Brawney (not sure on the spelling, but will learn soon), in the morning and go to Daniel's church later, where we will begin working with the children's ministry they are needing help with.  

I am excited and nervous at the same time about all that is to come in the next 6 weeks, but find peace and encouragement in all of the prayers I know are going up on my behalf from all of you.  God is bigger than any of this and His work is going to be done here in Slovenia, because it is desperately needed.  I'm going to head off to bed now, but I pray that all is well with all of you and can't wait to share more of what God does here.
