What a week. We started the week going to Slovenia to our Senior Conf. It was great meeting the new couples and just spending some time together. We did some touring and went to a horse show. We did lots of eating. We even saw a few cows grazing there.
We did some visiting and teaching with the missionaries. Then Fri. we had Mexican night for our activity. It was great. 25 other than missionaries came. The new member said, "To bad we don't have this many at church." I don't remember that these people don't experience the different cultures like we do in America. We had to make our own tortillas. The are about $1 a piece here. The people loved the food. Now that we've done Hawaiian and Mexican they want us to do Chinese. I told them that would be easy.....I'd just make rice.
We had an interesting day today. We were invited to this luncheon and had no idea what we were getting into. The Ambassador of Serbia and the Ambassador of Norway were there. They put us on one of the head tables representing one of the religious groups and introduced us twice. I only knew that we were introduced when everyone looked at us.
It was a political meeting headed by a Serb here (the elders investigator& the one that invited us) for the Serbs and Croatians to untie. It was great. We were welcomed royally (if that's a word). So many didn't even know our church was in the area. Good exposure. After that there were dances and songs on an outside stage in full costume from the different countries of eastern Europe. This was all done in some little village half an hour from here. Can you believe it. We did get one girls name and #. She wants to meet with us to practice her English. Shall I start her on reading the Book of Mormon ha ha.
We've had a great warm week ending with a little rain. Love to everyone.
