Goodbye and see you again!

I think after nearly two months in Montenegro that it is time for me to write a blog in English, so here it comes! (I am sorry for the grammar mistakes, but I hope you understand it anyway)
 
I have said a sad goodbye to my friends in Niksiĉ and I came back to Denmark for some days ago. The question as many maybe want to know is what I have learnt and what I have got out of being there?  

I came to Montenegro – to Niksiĉ – to refresh the people in the church. I wanted to inspire and hang out with them. Otherwise I did not have many expectations to my stay there, but wow I am surprised over the entire gift I have got during my time in Montenegro! I am so grateful because people has open their homes and their lives for my. Already the first day I came, Niksiĉ felt like my new home, it was a surprise for me in a good way, and I was not in doubt about that it was there I should be. People were so friendly and open minded and it was easy to become a part of the fellowship there. 

I have love spending time together with so many different people; Teenagers from the church, students, other friends, strangers and a lot of different teams. Everybody have giving me a lot of good experiences, and I am very grateful because of that. There has been so many time with a lot of laughter and fun but also times with deep conversations – all of it I remember with joy and it has been very inspiring for me.

Very short I want to tell about some of my highlights during my stay: The everyday life activities as teen meeting, conversation club and girls bible study. The Sundays with two services and in between those a delicious lunch always eaten together with many friends, Danish dinner, decoration of the new teen room, a lot of trips in the nature where we barbecued, two days at the gipsy camp, to watch all 8 movies of Harry Potter, a visit in the village Brĉno, some different café events, English camp and last of all to be together with so many different teams. All of these things have been a blessing for me and they are things I will remember in the future. Every day in Montenegro was busy and every day something new happened, and I enjoyed it much. I see all of it as a gift from the people I spend time with. During my time in Montenegro I learnt how many different situations you can use to talk about Jesus, and that has been an eye – opener for me. The feeling I have in me after I came back to Denmark is gratitude and I feel that I have been lucky to have the possibility to travel to Montenegro.   

I must admit that now I have two homes. Of cause my home in Denmark but also my new home in Montenegro.  Even though I wrote in the beginning that I had said a goodbye, I know that one day I will come back to my friends, my brothers and sisters and my new family.
