Graduation Surprises

Just as in the US , it's graduation time in Zagreb . Last Saturday, the Institute where Daniel occasionally teaches graduated its first class of students. Each of the students was prayed over and blessed individually (one of the benefits of a small class-size is more individual attention). Each student got to choose a faculty member to bless them, and Andrej, one of our favorite students, chose Daniel. Although Andrej speaks perfect Croatian (and English), he is from Slovenia , and his true heart language is Slovenian. So, as a surprise to him, Daniel asked our Slovenian colleagues to translate his blessing and prayer into Slovene. Andrej's family, who are not believers, were surprised to hear Daniel's American tongue forming Slovene words! I think it ended up being a blessing to more than just Andrej.
