Another interesting week

We started off our week trying to get our visa's extended. We went Mon. and Tues. and it still hasn't happened. New rules as of the first. They say we need a workers permit from the church...and Germany says they won't issue any. Elder Lunt said we could be smuggled in the trunk of the cars around Croatia for the next few months. We may have to do a border run.

Wed. the Elders all went to Zagreb to listen to E. Wondra from the area Pres.cy about the Serbia deal....actually got no info. We will be getting word by the end of the week.

Thurs. the Lunt's came and got our car. A foot again. The weather has been beautiful so that's ok.

Fri. the word has come from the First Pres'cy...Our Elder Collier is being sent to Germany English speaking. About half the elders are being sent out. Lots back to the states. Some were just in tears. Really to bad. We got another Elder so we will still pursue opening Cakovec which will be good.

Sat. we went with the Elders to Cakovec and looked at a real nice apt. It is right in the middle of town and 20 min. walk from the train station. We had just got done and walking out when the wind picked up and it started pouring. I luckily had my coat on..we were being sheltered in this little arch way when the covering for the public phone on the wall got ripped off. Not knowing how long it would last we took off in it..only 5 min. and into a Pizzaria for lunch. I have to say I thought about Castellia and Chelsea and how they would have enjoyed the rain with me.
When we got done eating it was all over.
We got back to Varazdin and walked home. Just before getting home I asked how far we had walked....Gaylon figured 6-7 miles. Man I was glad I hadn't asked earlier. Our feet were feeling it.

Well live is wonderful. We have our new and larger district. More mouths to feed on Sunday's. The new Elders love Croatia. They say it is much prettier than Serbia and the buildings are much more preserved. In Serbia they were pretty beaten up with the war. Also the people are more friendly here. All is well.

Have a great week and love to everyone.
