It is crazy what you can focus on when you are not in school. This week I have done so much because of break; Put in a faucet, cleaned out a barn, prepared a birthday celebration early for my mom, and focused a lot on preparation for this summer.
I've written letters and worked on language that I learned from the previous summer. It is great being able to focus on what you're passionate about. I love school, what I learn is valuable and interesting to me, but when I start putting my energy into what I love nothing can beat it. Preparation for it even brings excitement and pleasure, writing letters is not a daunting task, I enjoy it. Because there is something about letting other people come along with you. When I say this I really mean through their gifts financially and through their coveted prayers. I don't just write that in my letters to pull at my supporter's heartstrings, I mean it.
It's all about people knowing Jesus ya know?
I'm telling ya, I've started working hard on the language when I can, reading out of the translated New Testament when I can. It's great what all you can focus on when school is not your main priority for the moment.
New words from the Rjecnik always help one with vocabulary.
Going back to the trusty language notebook not only brings back painful memories of not being able to pronounce the "Lj" sound correctly, but also refreshes the mind of what I could understand.
Reading a little of God's word in a different language certainly has made me have to go and look some words up to understand the meaning!
It's been great working on what is very important to me this week. I love learning the language even on my own, and just studying about Bosnia, preparing for the people I will meet is absolutely fantastic! I'm excited more than anything about the possibility of sharing Jesus with them! I'm very grateful I get to spend another summer there to see how God moves in this country, and how he might use me!
Hvala Bogu thank God
All to God
