Success!!!

We had our very first English Forum on Monday of this week. Six girls showed up. Good thing because our topic was "Love and Romance". We had three texts to read and analyze. The first one was the lyrics to Beyonce's "All the Single Ladies", an article from Cosmo entitled "6 Benefits of Divorce", and a Buddhist poem called "On Marriage". Its been fun challenging the Christians with things they would not normally see and hear, and asking them listen wholeheartedly to things they do not agree with.

Everyone who came loved the time together talking and is excited to come back on Thursday! The next topic will be "Respect", all aspects of the word. I love not knowing what people will say and think. If you have any suggestions on topics or texts, please let me know! Another American came from the Peace Corp and her name is Jessica (far left). She holds a doctorate of clinical psychology and is working with Kremi (far right). She got in on Saturday and Kremi and I both feel that she is in Shumen for two years to come to know the Lord. What in insightful and interesting woman she is. I am so glad to be able to get to know her. The girl taking the picture is Bella, she is Katya's (fourth from the left) best friend and a beautiful girl with an incredible mind, and totally open. She is going with Katya to a Christian youth camp next week, we are hoping this is the time she comes to know the Lord! (By the way Bella, if you are reading this, we all hope you come to know the Lord. Just wanted to put that out there. You're great.)

This coming meeting, we will have three boys join us! Girls are great, but its nice to add a little testosterone into the mix. Keep praying for our little group and what happens to it after I leave...I have only two more weeks here!
