Vienna with the Bible study girls



Right before school started up again Luke and I jumped in the car with "my girls" and headed out on a road trip to Vienna. I say "my girls" because I have been meeting with these girls for 4 years now. Neja, Maja and Barbara first approached me and asked me to be their english teacher when they were middle schoolers. I didn't know at the time that they would become dear friends. And that is just what they are! When they ring the door bell each week my kids actually call them "my english girls". Which is funny since they are all Slovenes and I'm an American. Not an Englishman among us! We decided to regroup this year and turned our english class/ book club into a real bible study. I love talking about the bible and how God is impacting their lives with these girls. And do they know how to memorize scripture! Watch out! They often memorize the verse we've chosen in both english and slovene! Well, while in Vienna we went shopping for school supplies, stopped at Starbucks(the closest Starbucks is 4 hours away!) for a coffee experience and a little lunch at the local TGIFridays! We invited Anna and Luke to join us and had a memorable excursion!
