testing 1,2,3

Hi y'all,

Could someone please email me to let me know that you got my first email, just so I know that this works. My parents don't seem to be getting them:) Thanks.

Well we just got back from a prayer walk around the city. Prayer walking is definitely a new concept for me, I have never done that before. At first I was a little unsure but it turned out to be really awesome. I was paired up with a lady named Kristy, and we went to the mall and sat and had coffee and prayed, and we walked through the downtown passed the university of law and prayed there. We went to a park, and walked along a lake. The cool thing was that we actually got to pray with one of Kristie's friends who we saw having coffee, and she is not a believer, but is definitely open and curious. it was definitely a powerful time.

This city is so broken and full of people who work so hard for almost nothing, who are trying to find significance. A lot of the young people do not feel the need for a relationship with God and they think they can empower themselves they rely on what they can do on there own. My heart is really breaking for the young people here, I want them to know so much that there is someone who loves them.

Well that's my update. Some of you asked me how you could be praying for me, and I am realizing how much pride I have and how much it stops me from truly loving people, and I want to get past that. So please pray for that.

Ok I have to go watch this SPANISH soap opera, or serijal, that is so popular in BOSNIA:)

Zdravo, and Slava Bog.
