This week we got our flight plans! We leave the MTC at 10 am on Monday! I AM SO EXCITED! After 2 MONTHS in the MTC I am so ready to get to the field & start working! We are flying through Colorado, Germany, then to Croatia! Then depending on where the Lord wants me, I’ll head off to that country. If you are assigned to Montenegro you catch another plane, but the others you go to by train, bus, or car.
I have learned so much while at the MTC. It is such a beautiful place to learn and grow! I am not the same person that I was when I walk in. God has been teaching me and trying me, and this is just the beginning! I am so excited for what God has in store for me in the Balkans!
This week we practiced teaching English! (We will teach a lot of English classes in the Balkans) We taught a few grammar principles, and I have probably learned more about English than Croatian or Serbian! Our teachers told us that in the 2 months we are here, we have received around a years worth of language instruction. YET, I still am a struggle bus with the language! I can't wait to be fully surrounded by it, that is where the true growth comes.
It has been so warm in Provo! We have been studying outside everyday, and I even got SUNBURNT! It is so nice after months of cold and walls, to be outside in the sunshine and wind.
So look around! See God's hand in your life. Even if the only thing you can see is the sun. Feel the wind or rain on your face and know that there is a God who lives and loves you! I'm so grateful that He has a plan!!
CROATIAN word of the day: Nemam Pojma!! ( I have no clue) (I will be using this a LOT)
Love you all! Thank you for all the prayers and support!
Next time I email, I'll be in Europe!
Love, Sestra Gittins
The ADN Sisters! Reppin' all our countries and all our flags!
Sister Hart and I love to study on the roof!
