Lanea Nelle Lajlar
Lanea has been growing up so fast. She is now 8 months old. She sits, and crawls every direction except forward! She rolls around, and walks with assistance, and is also learning to stand on her own. She loves books and talking, her own langauge of course. We are still guessing what color her hair will be: brown, blonde, or red? It's a combination of all three at the moment. For more pictures and videos of Lanea go here.

Part 1: Ministry Opportunities
Aleš' Web Work Aleš has been doing a lot on the web. Since we moved here, he has been overseeing the church's web site www.kalvarija.si, and he recently built a website to help Christian churches and organizations host their sites for free online. This mainly happened because there are so few Christian resources online in the Slovene language. For example, only four Christian churches in Slovenija have their own web site. |

New Hope concert
There is a group from California, called New Hope, who tour Slovenija yearly sharing the gospel through drama and music. This year they opened up their program to native Slovenes! Both of us auditioned, and we were accepted for the 2007 tour. We have been preparing since July with others from Slovenia, and this Friday, October 19th, we will join the group from California, and begin traveling and sharing the gospel. We will do 10 concerts in 9 different major cities. (read more…)

Job in Velenje 
Most of our students from English Camp this year came from the nearby city of Velenje. In the weeks prior to the camp, we were going into the high schools, and inviting students to join us. As a result of meeting some of the teachers, Whitney was offered a job teaching four different groups of English students, weekly. This was an answer to prayer as far as work for Whitney was concerned, and also will be a good way of following up on many of the friendships established during English Camp week. |
Flying Home
Whitney and Lanea will head to America on the 30th of October, and return the 18th of November. They will visit Whitney's family in Idaho. This is an answer to prayer as we have been desiring to show Lanea to family and friends who haven't yet seen her. If you would like to get together and see Lanea, you can call me on my mother's cell phone: Franceen (208) 353-7779
