Bosnia Trip Report #4 - Email update from Gina

Hello,

Things are continuing to go well. We invited Acmet, the Muslim boy (who is 20 :)), to go to dinner with us tonight. He is excited.

We had a bit of an interesting conversation this morning about the difference between believing in God and going to church. I was able to share a tiny piece of my testimony about how my church at home had helped me understand who God is and made Him personal to me. Don't know if they understood, but they were adamant that there is no such thing as an atheist, that even if a person doesn't belong to the church as an organization, EVERYONE believes in God.

Acmet got a little impatient with the conversation and wanted to ask us about Iraq and what we thought about Bush building a wall between us and Mexico (news to us :)).

We had a great dinner with a local missionary last night, who explained more about Bosnia Herzegovina.

We were also invited to come to one of our student's office for coffee. She is one of the church's invest and invites, so we are excited that she wants to spend more time with us and the church members.

I am not homesick at all, very comfortable and feel at home, but do miss you and wish you all could experience this place.

Gina
