Croatia 2013 - Day 4

WOW

What a day and the events surrounding it make us realize that God is in complete control and knowing that and allowing His plan and purpose is the plan and purpose we are to follow, makes you realize how important patience is!

Today was supposed to be the first day of camp in Zagreb in the afternoon and we were going to practice with the cadets in Sisak in the morning. Well we woke up to rain and the practice got washed out and from the looks of the radar the rain was here to stay and was pretty much over the entire country of Croatia.

(Supercell tornadoes or water spouts??  Amazing!

We came home and spent the morning going through all of the equipment and inventory we had in the garage and that was a real blessing! The entire mission team worked together to move boxes, sort jerseys and pants, look through and label carnival prizes and God provided the wonderful blessing of cooler weather! I hate to tell you all this that are living in Houston, but we worked the entire day in 60 degree weather! What a blessing that was? The weather cleared and we were able to have the baseball camp for the Bears up in Zagreb and what a blessing that was! And a group of our team was able to go to the Adult Rehab center and spend some time with people there. I will tell you more later on that.

We went and had lunch and on our way back home we decided to drive by the gypsie village! These people, which are looked down upon here, have really been laid on most of our hearts and we have been praying for a way we can reach them! Most of our friends here warn us to stay away and to not associate with them! Well God has led us to come back to the village later this week and hand out Croatian Bibles and baseball jersey's and small rubber balls to those who will come out and greet us. We are praying for good weather and the opportunity to do it! We are excited to have the chance to share God's love with a people who are shunned and most often turned away! Keep that opportunity in your prayers!

I have much more to tell you but have to run up to Zagreb to watch the Bears play some games this morning. We also go to pick up Dalton and then have practice with the cadets, practice with the Storks and go back to the Adult Rehab center!

Blessings to all and thanks so much for the support!
