in zagreb again

so our journey to zagreb was ok, and not too hot.
(the trip from zagreb to sarajevo was a bit too much)

and the wonderful sticks were a blessing once again. while waiting
our train to zagreb from rijeka we met miki, a bosnian man living in
croatia. he tried our sticks and we gave him some coke. and he helped us
to carry our bags to the train. he told us that his mum had been in finland
during the bosnian war.

so when we arrived to zagreb around six in the evening we found out that
there isnt a train going to sarajevo anymore. one leaving only in the morning.
so we decided to hed to the same park we spent half of one night earlier.

though now the park seemed a bit more scary than before. so we pondered
that maybe it would be better to sleep at the trainstation.
but its a funny thing, this being scared or having fear.
cause as it says in the letter of john Gods love drives fear away.
so are they opposite forces? and if Im in a park where there are some
people who maybe look a bit suspicious to me, would I need to be afraid,
if I could just be freed to love.
but well, we sat in the park and some really nice dutch came to speak to us and
we talked with them a bit.
then there was this croatian boy who came to sit with us.
and he ended up sitting with us quite many hours.
at first we really didnt know what to make of him, but in the end
I think all our hearts were on his side so to say.
his name was anto and we talked about many things.
and it just so happened that he had just been to some church for the first time,
so we talked a bit about that. then we prayed for him and he was quite
touched for that. he was saying how he doesnt deserve such things and wondering
why we did it all. but is was such a blessing!

after that we moved to have bit of sleep at the trainstation before our train was leaving.
not too good a sleep though, but we did get some rest anyway.
