The last few weeks have been a whirlwind around here. The basketball playoffs for ABA Strumica met it's halfway point with ABA sitting in 5th place and virtually no chance of making it to the final four. ABA has three games left to finish off their season. Coach Jakus gave the team one week off after hitting the midway point; there were two weeks between games. Unfortunately, Andrew and I spent this week mainly apart, but still had a good time. : )
Anna Buchberger and I were invited to Sofia, Bulgaria to host a dance class at the English Club some American friends of ours lead. We had a blast teaching them the Cha Cha Slide, Cotton Eye Joe and the ABA Dance Team's dance to Jump Around. The following day we enjoyed some sweet fellowship with friends in Sofia and then took a bus to Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria to visit Fifa. Fifa is a Macedonian who is finishing her degree in languages and translating in Blagoevgrad; she's also dating one of the American players, Marcus. She showed us around her town and the Lord provided good conversations with her. That was a big answer to prayer...Praise the Lord!
Andrew's freshmen team's season ended, though they are still practicing. We're not entirely sure why, but other teams are still practicing so why shouldn't we? Welcome to Macedonia. : )
Andrew and I traveled to Skopje yesterday to see our friends Dean and Renata, and help them celebrate their son Victor's second birthday. It was quite the celebration, complete with a whole roasted pig and a birthday cake with fireworks!
An update to come soon about our plans after this!
Hey Andrelee,
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed catching up on your blogs. I understand waiting for the Lord to give you direction can be nerve racking at times. Continue to wait on him and believe that he will open the doors to your next adventure. I am proud of you two and the commitment to sharing the gospel with unbelievers. Psalm 40:1.
Love you guys, your bro- Jesse Stimson
