This past Sunday (yesterday), we hosted the church in Maribor at our home. I was supper excited and nervous to see who would show up. We did alot of preparing and praying. The end result was a tremendous turn out and the Holy Spirit working in some lives. We had 35 adults in attendance and about 10 or more kids. All together between 45 and 50 people in our house. This was the biggest group that the church has ever had. One Slovene lady (a friend of mine named Yolanda) said that God is using us in this country already. We had two of our unsaved friends attend. Jon even got to talk with one in depth about his testimony after the services. Please pray for Edwin. He is a native Columbian who has been in Slovenia for a few years. He was raised Catholic but is not happy with them. He is receptive to the Gospel, please keep his name lifted up before the Lord. Our landlady also came, her name is Vojka. She was a little shy around everyone and seemed uneasy. The Lord is working in her heart. I am also tutoring a 15 year old girl named Katja in English. She failed her english class in school this past year and they give them three more chances to take a test during the summer. She took one and failed it horribly. My friend Yolanda referred her to me and I had 4 lessons with her before her next exam. I really did not think that she would pass but she worked really hard and she passed. Her family was soooo excited and grateful. They bought me a basket of potatoes from their garden. I am continuing to teach her throughout the summer. One of the assignments that I gave her is to read the daily bread in english everyday and underline words she did not understand. Also to write down what it meant to her so that we could talk about it. Please pray that the Scriptures will not return void. She is a sweet young lady. If you have hung on and read this whole blog you deserve a medal!!! Thanks for reading and staying in touch. We love you all and are so glad to see God working in the lives of people that we have met.
