Well, it's blazing hot over here! For the last couple weeks,
Sestra Kanell and I have been sleeping with a fan in our room (but still
boiling) and had two fans running 24/7 in the apartment. Just last night, we
made the switch to TWO fans in our room at night :) We were hard-pressed to
even find a second outlet, but we succeeded! And just today we purchased night
gowns that maybe look like they're from the 60s, but they're light and breeezy,
so we're hoping for at least a decent night’s sleep tonight! The people of Slovenija
do not believe in air conditioners...
This week I was dive-bombed by a pigeon in center and this
morning Sestra Kanell was attacked by a spider on her desk. It's been eventful
here in Celje :)
We're having a great time! We were walking through center
the other day and stopped to talk with a woman on a bench. She began to cry as
she told us about her life. We had a neat opportunity to share with her our testimonies
of a loving Heavenly Father who cares about each one of individually. We got to
share with her that God's plan is far greater than just our time here on Earth.
It's an eternal plan. I hope that she was able to feel comfort and peace from
the things we shared. It's neat to see that God leads us to be where he needs
us to be and to talk to those who need to feel his love at specific times.
This week we walked to the very edge of our area - about an
hour away - to meet with a man and talk to him about the restoration of the
fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth. After meeting with him we
began to knock doors and invite others to learn as well. It was seriously warm
that day and we really just wanted some water, but we were so far from home so
we basically just had to stick it out and keep working. But I think we were
both praying in our hearts and minds that someone might offer us water. We
knocked on a door and the woman happened to know missionaries (not too crazy
since Celje is really small) and be friends with them (Crazy! because most
people aren't too keen to talk with us let alone be friends!). AND she invited
us in for some sok :) Talk about an answer to our prayers! As we sat in her
home and talked, a huge storm blew in and it was pouring rain. Serious flash
flood. So she was a miracle again and offered to drive us home! So so so so
kind. She was a miracle for us twice in one day, sent straight from heaven.
So grateful for a Father in Heaven who loves us and is aware
of us. So grateful for Jesus Christ and the power that he has to change me and
help me to become more like him. I'm so grateful for the peace I have because I
know that I am a daughter of God.
Love,
Sestra Brown
