I was sending this to Suzie and decided to finalized the week so I'll add it to the Blog. We are great and enjoying these people. Good to hear from some of you this week.
Thank you again for yet another great scripture. It is hard when you know the gospel and want to share it with people that really need it. So many are looking for peace and don't know where to find it. I've just finished Preach My Gospel and starting on the D&C. I'm nearly done with the BofM again. It is fun to have this time to study.
I'd love to be able to see the PBS special. I remember it being advertised during conf.
I'm glad you business is growing. Be patient and it will happen. Contrats. on your calling. How fun to work with my daughter. Michelle will be great in YW.
Having no car is just fine. We love the exercise and your face to face with the people. Our neighbors are fun to greet now that they are getting to know us.
Br. Pres. is interesting. Two counselors that you can't understand. The elders are the interpreters. We started an activity day on Sat's. We had 11 come to our first one. It's good for them to see us in a different light. The missionaries were all sore yesterday at church. We have some great missionaries here right now. Sure would love to see a big something happen.
Miranda should be hearing about her call soon. I told her they would send her to me. Great letter from Cami huh. Weird to have your P day on Wed. Just what you get use to I guess.
Love to all

Sunday, April 22, 2007
We've had a great week. Tues. I got a call from Cami. She was at the Chicago airport waiting to leave America. How exciting for her.
Wed. we left for Zagreb. The sister rode with us. We met our Elders at the church and after the interviews we went on a 4-5 hour tour of Zagreb. Elder Brunner had spent a year serving their. It was great. Wonderful building and Cathedral's. We even had a reporter spot us and interview us. Not sure if the article made the papers.
Thurs. was an all day Zone Conf. which was great. Our first train ride. The country side is so beautiful. So green and rich. We saw lots of farmers working their land. Our walk home was about 40 min.
Fri. I had another reading in the B of M with a sister that meets me at the church. We had a wonderful time together and I challenged her to come to church. She believes the B of M is true.
Sunday was Branch Conf. 30 people there and guess.....Darinka came. She really enjoyed the meeting. Gaylon got a second conf. which will be great.
The work is going great and we are really loving it here. We can just feel that this area should be opening up. We're trying to get into all the members homes and strengthen this branch.

Ground Breaking
We've had another great week, but the high light was the ground breaking of our first chapel in Croatia. This will be built in Zagreb which is the capitol city for Croatia. It is a beautiful piece of land getting the branch out of down town. All the missionaries in the country were there. We don't know many yet, but what a great way to get acquainted. Watch for us in the Church News.
Cami is excited to be heading for Poland this next week. Her dated got moved to the 17th. Don't know why. One of the sisters has not received her passport yet. We need a miracle on Mon. The girls will be singing at the farewell fireside. There will be about 450 missionaries. Exciting.
Elder Hansen and I are doing fine. Once he gets his leaders called and all these reports figured out maybe he can relax a little. We are going to start teaching a lady from our English class this next week and hopefully her daughter also. Out Reach is our main responsibility so doing a little teaching will be a nice change.
We have had beautiful weather. I can see it will get a little warm here. We give up our car at Zone Conf. this next week. Now we will be finding different routes through the city.
We hope you are all well. Our hearts have sure gone out to those families that suffering right now at home. Thank you for your support and prayers.

Great Easter
Easter Sunday in Croatia. We've had a great day. About 20 at church. Three of the missionaries spoke. They gave me their English copies so I could understand. Our District Pres. was here again. His in laws love close by and they were spending the weekend. FYI Elder Brunner that's here.......his Grandparents served here seven yeas ago and baptized our District Pres. Pres. Sven Sam Bunjak. Pretty good huh.
It was overcast earlier. Little rain last night after a very warm day. However, the sun came our and we had lunch with the missionaries and some of the members in our back yard.
Anxious to talk to our family tonight. The Bernhardts and going to Josh's so we can talk with skype.
We were planning on going to another Castle tomorrow, but I guess its closed for the day. The Monday after Easter. It has been so busy this weekend. We went to the square which is the middle of town and just walked around. Bought some fruit and vegetables and watched people.
Off to an appointment. Love to everyone.

Happy Easter every one
Hey,
Getting ready to call it a day, but I'll take a minute. We got to see all of conference. Burnt the midnight oil both nights. It was surely worth it. The talks we all so great. We had this lap top over at the church so the Croatians could understand. I stayed here so I could just let it all sink in. I didn't need two languages going. What a blessing for these people though. I don't know why some else hadn't done this for these people. We paid an installment fee and that's it. No monthly payments. How does it work you say....I don't know but it's in.
Big weekend with Easter then the next we drive to Zagreb (1Hr) and have the ground breaking for the first chapel in Croatia. Then the next Wed. we go back for Zone Conf. and give up the car. That will be fine. Walking will do us good and the weather should be fine from here on and a little rain won't hurt us anyway.
We are fine. We're getting the Proclamation framed for the Mayor and taking it to him. We'll see how that goes over.
We're also getting pictures made and inserting them into the B of M according to the stories. We've got to do something to get this town to pay attention.
Love ya,
