Dragana teaching us how to cook a Serbian dish. It was very good!
My favorite place at the river to spend time alone with God.
These are my teammates: Jacob, Me, Shelly, and Damian
Morning English Club :) Ratko, Gordana, Jennifer, Me, Shelly
My physical therapist, Nemanja, has even started coming to English Club.
These are just a few more pics. I know everyone enjoys seeing them. The past few days have gone well!

Hey Sweetheart
It is good to get to see a little more of the area and the people you meet. You didn't mention your finger, I assume the therapy is going well? I am anxious to try some of the Serbian food, that is if you can get the ingredients back home! Brittney Witt and Cynthia will be on the youth retreat this weekend. I plan to spend some time with my Mother. It is exciting to see how God is working through the efforts of the Summer Missionary team. You are in my prayers.
I love you
Daddy

Hey babe,
Glad things are going good. I guess you are getting through with your night english class. We continue to keep you and your team mates and the people in our prayers.
I am finalizing things to get ready for the FL retreat. God is going to do great things Please keep us in your prayers. We will miss you this time. But you are where you should be.
Our kitten almost drown this am. I was working around the pool. Had taken him out to get exercis and use to dogs. I went back out and heard water splash he had fallen in the pool. I scooped him up as quick as I could. he is fine.
Well I know you are busy . Sleep good. I love you ,Mama
Hey Tori
I am so glad to hear you are still doing great. Isn't it amazing how god has used your finger so much, all of us worried about how you will handle the problem, but God had it under control all along.
i still miss you so much, but am very grateful to God that he has taken the "home sickness" from you. You sound great and I have all faith that he will lift you up, no matter how many chairs you have to fit into that room. you can do anything with Him by your side. i am so proud of you
Love you always

Hey Sweetheart
It was great to hear your voice this morning. You sounded so excited and strong. You should take the opportunity to see some of the country next week since you will not be teaching. It sounds like the therapy is working well and your finger is healing correctly. Just keep exercising it. I wanted to share this with you. I have begun to wake up at night around 1:00am for no apparent reason. After a few nights of this and tossing around not being able to sleep it occurred to me that while I was awake I would pray for you and your work. Interestingly in a short time I would be sleeping sound. After going through this for several nights it dawned on me.......1:00am central time is 8:00am in Serbia, just about the time you are starting your day. You know, I think this is God’s way of helping me pray for you when you start your day.
Well I had better get back to work. Have a great week.
I love you and miss you, take care. You are in my prayers
Daddy
Hey Tori, It was good to hear from you this morning. You sounded real good. I am very proud of you and what you are doing. God is Good. We pray for you every day. This green bracelet is still holding out. The pictures are just great and I am sure you will have lots to talk about when you get home. I bet you are taking notes every day. Maybe publish a book when you get back. Maybe you will get to see some sites while you are there. Will I better get to work. We love you. Papa Chas...
Hey Babe,
The FL retreat went well. Andy and Steven were great in leading the worship and speaking. Lives were moved by the Holy Spirit and God is still working.I am excited about see what God is doing in these young peoples lives and adults.
I love you so much, sorry I was busy and could not talk to you much. Brittney and Witt got their time with you.
Four more days of therapy.God open that door and He will still allow you to witness to Dragana and Nemonia(Probably spelled it wrong). At this time 6:29am here, you are finishing up therapy and riding your taxi back to your apartment.Your in our prayers as God is leading you.As you Trust Him each step of the way.
Take your time as Jesus did alone by your favorite spot on the river.
God is good and faithful.
While on the beach Brittney and I were talking, we are always reminded of the foot prints in the sand while at the beach.In our struggles there are only one set of footprints and those are God's.That is when he is caring us.
Have a great day.I love you
Mama

Tori: All is well in Montgomery, Alabama. Tiffany has gotten here from the Virgin Islands. Tom's parents and sister came down from Ohio for Tom's promotion ceremony. Memaw is the same and knows that you are in Serbia. She even remembers "Serbia". Always know you are in my prayers daily. May God continue to bless you and your work while in Serbia. Love ya, Aunt Pansy
Hey Tori,
Its great to see you seeking so earnestly to do our Lord's will. It is refreshing to see this type of passion in one our young people and what a wonderful example you set for others. I am so very proud of you and the direction you are going in life. Pam and I have been really busy the last few weeks. Allison got a job in Atlanta and we moved her into an apartment last weekend. However, you are and have been on our hearts and minds every day and we pray that God protects you and directs every aspect of your life. We are amazed at how God has used your accident to place certain folks in your English class and can really see how He uses circumstances we sometimes don't understand to accomplish His purposes. God is in control!!!Praise Jesus!! We've missed you. See you in about a month.
Have a blessed day'
Phil & Pam
Hey Sweetheart
I got your email this evening. It was great to hear from you. I'm sure it was exciting to get to see more of Serbia. I can't imigine the river ride.."A huge party going down the river on a raft".....that one you are going to have to explain to me more. Enjoy your week off, I hope you get to go to the beaches in Montengro, be sure to take pictures..I guess I didn't have to remind you of that did I?
Vidimo Se!
Daddy & Mamma
Hey Tori,
I'm glad to 'read' that everything is going well for you over there ...in "siberia" LOL
The Youth retreat went VERY well. I'm very glad of the opportunity I had to go & participate (and in some ways lead). It was a HUGE blessing to participate in group bible study again. & After spending the weekend with Witt...I have a 'newfound' respect for you ; )
anywho...Stacey says hey, and we send our love and prayers
Joey
Hey precious,
How wonderful to see you in these beautiful pictures. As I look at your precious face, the only thing I see shinning brightly is Jesus Love!! I know that God is providing for the people there through you. I can't wait for you to come back and share with us your experience. I can see the happiness that is within your eyes to be able to share the thing that means more to you than anything else in the world...and that is God's Love!! I know your family misses you greatly and we miss you so much too, but none of us would have it any other way...thank you for being bold and brave and sharing the love of Christ with others! Take care of yourself and of your finger! Until soon! I love you bunches, Karen
Hey Tori
Great pics. But still the best one is the crrek where you like to do your bible study. I am so glad to hear things are going so well over there.
I miss you so much during our Sunday School class. We are gonna have a little social at K.T's house when you come home for our class, just wouldn't be right to have one before then, so we will wait till you get all your pictures so we can pass 'em around. i can't wait to see you, let's see i think is is about 23 days till you come home. Make the most of it, let God lead you where he wants you for now. cause when you come home, that's it. You can't go nowhere (for a while anyway). i thank God for bringing you and your family into my life. I love you and am waiting for you to come home.
This is great info to know.
