Andrew is on a team! He was able to "try out" for a division II team, Millennium, on Wednesday. He was given the okay to play with them and they had their first game last night (Saturday). They lost...it was pretty rough. Andrew wasn't able to play because his license to play from the federation didn't come through. Every foreigner needs to have one to play. Andrew will be able to make a huge difference on the team. We'll keep you posted!
Anna and I, along with Dragan (a local), have been teaching English. We've been meeting every Thursday from 8:00-10:00 pm and giving lessons for two classes. The beginner's class meets at 8 and the advanced class meets at 9. This Thursday was our second class. It's been going pretty well. I actually have a little bit of fun doing it! Anna and I have our hands full creating lesson plans for both classes...quite the learning experience. There are about 15 students per class; a decent amount of which are females! Anna and I are hopeful for opportunities to hang out with some of them outside of class. Be praying!
In the midst of uncertainty and doubt the Lord is challenging my faith. When things don't go as I think they should it's so easy for me to be tempted to question, "God, are you sure you know what you're doing?" I must have faith to believe that God does a better job of being God that Halee does. That God's plans really are better than mine. Something that I'm learning is that the Lord is mainly unpredictable if not entirely. I am learning to love that.
At midnight Paul and Silas sang songs, hymns and worshipped the Lord. Amazing perspective: "Do we let what is wrong with us stop us from worshipping what is right with God?" Love you guys and continue to pray. Ed and Jean
