Šola v Sloveniji

One big step of faith for our family when we moved to Slovenia was placing our children into the Slovenian school system. We knew in order to thrive here this was something they must do and there is no better way to learn the culture and language than to be right in the middle of it! (In many ways as parents we wish we could start in Slovene first grade as this would help us in our language.) We are now a year and a half into schooling here and we are so proud of the girls! Our prayer was that they would be like Daniel and thrive in another culture while remaining filled with integrity and love for the Lord. Clearly prayers are being answered! We are in awe at how much language they know, and how well they are doing in school. Really that is understated, because several weeks ago a high ranking teacher at the school came to me and told me the ENTIRE staff at the school is amazed by the girls. This teacher told me the girls had raised the bar for the whole school! That report is obviously awesome to here as a parent, but we give the credit to the Lord as he answers the prayers of our family, friends and supporters. Beyond the education our girls have each had unique opportunities to share their faith with friends and teachers, which is incredible to see their boldness and we pray this will continue as the years go on. Our boys are going to have a tough act to follow because the girls have set the bar high!
