I woke and ate a small breakfast from some items I had purchased the day before. Then, Ivan, Goran’s youngest son, came and got me so that we could do some work in the basement. After some work, a couple of the youths came and got me and the boys, as they wanted to show me around the city. Negotino is a small city of about 12,000 people. Their greatest export is wine/grapes. We walked through the city center and then to a hospital for one of the brothers to grab some asthma medicine prescriptions, and then we went back to the center for some snacks. We chatted for awhile, and then they took me to meet Toni, a friend of theirs from the church who was at the prayer meeting the previous night who is the president of a local blind persons association. We talked for a while and then left for one of the boy’s homes. We went in and sat and listened to music, his sisters were there and they sat around with us too. The ages were 10, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and me (24). After that, we all headed home. The boys and I had lunch back at the home, and then I helped Pr. Goran with some issues he was having with organizing events and such on Facebook. The boys then showed me a few magic tricks, and then I showed them a few of my own. By then it was time for us to go visit Zivko (the man who I had cut wood with and prayed for). After some good conversation, Pr. Goran had to leave, and the boys and I stayed. Then, after a little while, the boys left to go home to dinner, but Zivko’s son, Igor, asked me to stay. I ended up speaking to their whole family for four more hours about Jesus Christ, the Gospel, the life of faith, godliness, the end times, and more. Igor also had a lot of questions about business as he’s a traffic management director for a shipping company but wants to start his own shipping company. When I left around 12:45am, he asked me to come visit him at work the next day.
