Well. There is nothing really I can say about Sunday. It was such a nice day that I got to just relax and chill in this beautiful city God has placed me. It was so nice just to be able to revel in his glory and just be able to relax.
The same kind of goes for Monday as well. We had our training, we went out sharing, talked to a couple of people, came back and had dinner and went to our weekly meeting. However, at the weekly meeting we talked about God's/our hearts for the nations which was really cool. Then, at the end, two of the Slovene students who work more specifically on high school evangelism came and sang two songs in Slovene. The first one we all just sat and listened to. As we were listening, the Holy Spirit was definitely present amongst all of us. I've talked with others about it. It definitely was present and flourishing. After that we sang "Mighty to Save" in both Slovene and English. The mash up was such a cool thing to hear. It really solidified the idea that God is not just the God of America. We might be a nation "Under God" (at least that what the money and pledge still say) but God is the God of the World. He is as real for students here in Ljubljana as he is for us in Columbus. Just being able to see that was incredible.
And then there was Tuesday. After a hectic shopping trip for food in the morning, one of the long term staff members and I went sharing together. After having one decent conversation and then surviving a freak thunderstorm, we continued to look for someone to talk to. We finally found someone and we started talking. About halfway through the conversation, the girl turns hostile against us. She starts berating us with questions and won't let us answer them. And they were all questions that we had been discussing over the past two weeks so I had a fairly good idea on how to answer them with Haley's(the staff member) help. But she wouldn't let us get one word in. And then, she abruptly left. Just like, "Ok. I have to go now. Bye" and walked off. We were left there in shock.
And that just shook me up completely. This unfinished conversation with a girl who seemed like she hated what we believed. It really really was quite unnerving. It took quite a while before I could comprehend what happened. But, at the end of the day, a coffee and gelato with friends along the river is just what you need to calm yourself down.
And Sorry about no pictures!!!!!! I forgot to take any on these few days!!!!
