This week, Kari and I have spent most of our time in Ljubljana, the capital city where a lot of the JV full-time missionaries are based. From Monday to Wednesday we spent time going to high school classes at a catholic school here to teach English. David Bordner (one of the missionaries) teaches there a couple times a year and wanted the interns' help. With the first year students we talked about vacations and with the older students we taught on friendships. Basically, David led from the front and we each helped lead a small group of 5ish students. We played games, answered questions, and tried to get the students talking as much as possible in English. Overall, we had a great time!
Also, on Monday, two more interns got added to our team! Mallory and Heather, both 20, arrived from the States after their school years finished. It has already been awesome getting to know them! And with the jet-lag and excitement at the moment, there's been a lot of laughter.
There was a meeting yesterday afternoon about the day camp I'll be helping with the first week of camps (starting in a week and a half). After the meeting, I'm getting even more pumped for what's ahead. I'll be teaching the advanced English class (so probably mostly 11-14 year olds I'm guessing) with Polona, a sweet 26 year old Slovene who I'm excited to get to know better. She's great and super willing to help me with anything and everything!
And, today was my birthday :) Yippee, I'm 22! Can't believe how old I am already. We had a Slovenia staff meeting, which was sweet because everyone was together. Lots of fun, productive, and we had cake to celebrate. I really feel like I belong to the family here, which is fun.
Pictures are coming soon and also prayer requests. Love you all!
