Invited to Mission Pres.Council

It's been a busy week. We were invited to the Mission Pres. Council. This council is for the zone leaders, one set of sisters, and one of the couples. The AP's are mostly in charge.

We went to Zagreb and picked up the Serbia missionaries that had come in on the train. The missionaries went and stayed with the Slovenia missionaries and we stayed at the mission home. Had a nice visit with the Mission Pres. and Sis. Weight.

Council meeting started at 9:30, then lunch and all headed home. We took an additional elder back with us. He's only about 6'6" so it was a little close. Great time and we felt honored to be invited.

Fri. the Lunt's and Mill's came to Varazdin and we went out to the Gypsy camp. The elder went to interpret. They have a King that is in charge. The church is looking at adding a room onto their school. Our finding will be turned into the leaders in Germany. I think we got as close to Hungary as you could get without going into the country.

Our activity was Pirate Night. We danced, messed around and ate chili. There were 45 in attendance. Our biggest group. Most were from our English classes. With these two missionaries going home, it brought more of a crowed.

These two missionaries spoke at church today and the Mission Pres. and wife came and spoke so that brought out a few more people. We had 28. If all our regulars had been there we would really have had a group. We served lunch after before everyone left. Lots go home after the first meeting.

Yes, Sister Crosby and Elder Brunner have gone home. I hope we can keep our strong district going with these two new missionaries. I'm sure it will be. Eight missionaries are going out plus another couple and eight missionaries coming in.

We hope everyone is well and happy. We would love to hear from all of you.
