Well it has been a crazy few months with teams and moving to Sarajevo but I thought I'd take a few moments to tell you about my new place and show you a few pictures. I am living in a great little one bedroom apartment in a neighborhood called Mojmilo (my dear one in English) which is named for the hill we are located on. It is a small, peaceful neighborhood with just 8-10 buildings and a nice square and small shopping center in the middle.
It was once used to house Olympic athletes and then later become a sort of artists' colony. It was one of the first areas of Sarajevo to be fired on during the war and remained an area of heavy bombardment throughout the war. There are still some signs of this throughout the neighborhood just as there are everywhere in Sarajevo. I've included a few pictures from my place and my neighborhood. I've also included a picture of my first guests in my new place, the Eikosts and some dear friends from Mostar.
Though it isn't easy to see from the pictures, I have an incredible view of the mountains and the nearby city of Ilidza where my co-workers, the Eikosts are partnering with a Bosnian couple in a new church plant. I will be assisting at this site to some extent but will also be doing a lot of mentoring and relationship building at the "mother" church which is located in Sarajevo proper about a 10 minute drive or 20 minute tram ride from my place. It is quite exciting for me to be in a larger city again as I have the heart of a city girl even if I was born in a small town. Well, in just a few days I'm off to camp to help cook for three weeks so check out this site in a month or so for some exciting new stories from camp. Ciao for now!
