My year in Slovakia

YAGM is a program from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) that gives young adults the opportunity to be in global mission. There are about 45 active missionaries from YAGM spread out all over the world - sharing experiences that foster the development of leadership, present cross-culture skill building, and ultimately bring forth young adults that are "globally formed and globally informed". I am very excited to be joining this program for a one year experience in Slovakia. I anticipate being of service but also growing in my faith and personal identity.

Fun times with the Ziskovci

It's a lovely week here at the base of the Tatras! Since it is All Saints' Weekend, it's also a national holiday (4-day weekend!) here in Slovakia. My friend and program coordinator Zuzka and her husband Johnny invited me to spend the evening with them and their boys. Theyhad me over for a slumber party with the family... we had dinner and then celebrated the Lutheran Reformation by watching the movie Martin Luther. It has been a great time!

Marek and Johnny helped make "American Mac 'n Cheese - With a Slovak Twist" and Radko helped supervise!What a helper!
What great helpers!

And finally some great toast with (American!) peanut butter and honey... Thanks Granny and Grandad Toler!
