Thursday and my Last English Discussion Group

I got to try the public transportation on my own today!  Robert is meeting the guys at the Hostel to discuss Leadership Essentials and I went to meet Rachel at home for Discipleship Essentials.  We shared about the internship, talked about some struggles and I saw there were times that I should have put my stuff aside and helped her out more.  We did talk a little about the study, but it was a good time of fellowship.  Then Robert, Eli and Josiah came and we got ready to go for lunch.  They treated me to a great place called Stary Dom and the food was great!  Then they took me to Old Town to finish up shopping - souveniors.  Stopped for some ice cream and headed to the English Discussion groups.  There were a little girl about 8 years old there, but she decided to stay by her Dad and her little brother.  Her mother, Maria joined the discussion group and she was someone I handed the flyer to at the park.  Then I found out 3 of the other girls came because Syliva (the quiet one) received a flyer from a dark, bushy haired girl (that's me)!  So being the last one, it was encouraging that 4 of the 7 that attended were through a flyer from me.  It made me happy.  Since there were no other kids, I did spend some time with Eli and Josiah, going through the ABC's and numbers - then Rachel suggested I join the group and she would play memory game with the boys.  The guys did a great job of running the English Club, we divided the group to encourage all to speak and practice their English.  In our group, one of the girls said she did not know much of what the Baptists believe...I thought that Travis would really be able to share more, but time did not allow.  The guys are starting to learn about body language also - 2 of the girls leaned forward, showing their interest in the subject of religion.  Friday the guys are doing a discussion group more on the subject of faith and religion and praying that this will bring people out.  Some of the girls were interested, but the time did not work for them...Lord willing they will come back and will be able to work out an opportunity to share Christ.  We went to dinner at an Itailian place nearby and share the highlights and some challenges...I shared my testimony and my heart.  It was late and early start tomorrow....

"Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear."                     Hebrews 12:28
