Welcome to Croatia!
This month, Team Manna (minus
Steph Pridgen) went to Croatia to work with a disabled community home. Samantha
McCowan, one of my teammates, has been friends with our contact for Croatia for
almost 7 years.
Meet Kat, Zoki, Jakov
and Nada.
We have been extremely blessed to
have lived with this family this month. They have been really giving and
helpful with everything this month. Kat works at the group home where we have
been spending our time volunteering. We have been building relationships and helping
them get ready for Christmas. At first, people were pretty shy and didn’t want
to practice the little English they knew. But, they started opening up and
really sharing their stories (with the help of a translator) as we shared ours.
This month has
exceeded my expectations. I thought that because this trip was coming to an
end, I wasn’t going to be pouring all that is in me out onto the people in
Croatia. I feel like this month I have really poured more into this ministry
than a few of the other past months. God has blessed me with wonderful friends
this month and is really showing me how to Love like HE wants us to.
Anyways,
I will be home in 2 short weeks and hope
to speak to you all then!
I will post a blog with answers to some
questions that most of you will have for me sometime this week. I would love for you to share with me what has
happened in your year while I have been gone. You guys have missed out on my
life, and I have missed yours and I would love to hear your stories as well. So
send me an e-mail and let me know your story about your year!
See you soon!
