Today at 9:30am, our group of twenty met outside the
Cathedral of Zagreb. Besides the group from the previous evening meal together
also joining us was Brother Johnny. He has been in Croatia for twenty years and
was instrumental in translating the Bible into Croatian. He brought a man named François with him as well as Brother Ron, his wife, Rachel, and their son, Caleb.
This family has been helping the Leslies since 2019.
Pastor Jeff gave the
devotional from 1 Kings 17:1 and then we spilt up into teams of two and headed
to the square to distribute John and Romans and invitations to the Amazing Grace
meeting to be held the following Thursday. I was partnered with Sarah who
instructed me on useful phrases to say such as "dobra dan" which means "good
afternoon". I had conversations in English with two people. One was a tourist
from Zadar who was leaving Zagreb that day to head back home. The other was a
very confused Hindu who believed all sorts of bazaar things including
reincarnation. He said he would come to the meeting.
Just before we broke for
lunch, Frauna from Brother Brad's church, arrived to help out. I was with Sarah again after lunch in a different location. She handed the materials to a girl who started reading it. She ran back with her friend to catch up with Sarah so the friend could receive one as well. I took a picture of them reading the materials together.
It was supposed
to rain starting at 11am, but the first droplet didn't even come until we said
goodbyes to go our separate ways at 3. Praise the Lord! Dinner was at Paesano.
Google map says it's an Italian restaurant, but they even have steak and burgers
there. It was soooo good we agreed to go back for sure. We went to one mall
looking for a fan (in which each of the guys bought one) and another mall so
Jason could buy a phone. It started pouring rain when we returned to the AirBnB
and soon after a rainbow lit up the sky. It was as though God sent it just for
us at just that time to let us know He had held back the rain until the work of
the day was done.
