Well, we went to Ljubljana..Slovenia and got our car. The ride to Ljubljana was a little scary since the AP's were running late and there is not much control of speed on the roads. Need I say more?

The fireside was great. The only thing that could have been better is.....if it were my three sons doing the fireside on their missions.

Our car has a radio and cd player. When the cd that was already in there started to play...the song was.."It's 5'O'clock Somewhere" Oh my, did this remind me of Cami. She loves that song. With the car comes the added blessing of going to Celia, Slovenia every other week and teaching Institute. About one and a half hours away. During the winter this could get interesting. Of course...teaching will be interesting also.

Things are running along as normal. Visiting, teaching and studying. We are looking forward to the vacations being over and everyone coming home from the sea.

Right now Varazdin is having its yearly Festival. People from all over Europe and even some bands from America. So many people. It's fun to just walk around and let ourselves be seen. We have seen less-actives which is good and lots from our English classes. This will run for 10 days.

We hear the family reunion was wonderful.....which I figured it would be. We are doing great. Loving these wonderful people and hoping to teach many more. We need to build a good foundation here for the church to get going on.

We did have our Medieval night and had about 35. We were pleased with that.

We hope you are all well....So sorry to hear about Aunt Wilma. She's not alone any more.
Love to you all...please keep in touch.

Challenges, but life is good

Some good news for me. We called the Dr. in Germany to see if I could get some meds I'm out of...he faxed it...we got what we could here...then a couple going to Slovenia got the rest and brought it to me today. My blood has been staying in the high 100's or over 200...not good. I should be ok for that until I get some from home. The rest of the med's I'm not as worried about.
Now the other news...we got a call from the AP's yesterday telling there was a car waiting for us at the mission home. Two more couples went home and the one car was offered to another couple...they didn't want it...so we get it. Probably 5 or 6 months until another couple comes. Then we'll trade off again.
Well, we've been trying to figure out how to get to the mission home without any missionaries to show us the steps on the train..transferring in Zagreb and of course we speak the language so well. Then today the AP's called back and asked when we were going...Thurs. we thought. We are flexible if needed. Well, you could go tomorrow we will come and get you. The mission pres. three sons are here and giving a fireside at the mission home tomorrow night for the missionaries there and we want to go. Want to go with us. Well, you didn't have to ask us twice. Ride, meal, fireside, car....now isn't the life just wonderful.

We're having a great time with these three youth the elders ran into. Two boys and a girl. The girl is quite heavy and no self-steam. Whenever, we get to the church there she is and the boys if their not working. They came to church Sunday. Maybe I'll have more Seminary student's than we thought. I know their hungry for attention, but their reading the Book of Mormon and always coming. We'll see what happens.

We've had like fall weather. A little warmer today and expecting a storm on Thurs. thru Sun. We'll see.

Life is great. Vanje(this girl) is helping me with some Croatian words and phrases. She speaks mal(little) English. She laughs at me alot. I taught her the two up four down card game. Language of the heart.

I'll be waiting to hear from the family about the Family Reunion in Oregon. I'm sure it was great.

Love to everyone...keep in touch.
