Plitvica Falls, Celija Baptism, Missionary Car Wash

Marko said "We are the same size!!!" Marko stayed over from the Conference and needed a white shirt. He is a great new convert of 4 months and lives in Zadar.

Monday on P-day Elder and Sister Thompson took us to Plivica Falls. A beautiful national park made up of about seven lakes which drop down and flow into each other. It was a busy day. On the way we stopped at a town just above it where falls water flows thru the houses.

This is Plivica Park. We spent most of the day there walking around and taking a ferry across one of the lakes to get back to the car.

Paul and I at the lake

Wednesday we drove to Celija by way of Ljubljana with the Thompsons. We stopped in LJ first to look at apartments. We are being moved to Slovenia at the end of the month. There is only one senior couple there now, The Lindorfs and they are the office couple. After looking at a few places we headed off to Celija for the baptism of Renata Cigler.

Saturday the missionaries hosted a free car wash and tour of the building. They had such a great time. The Branch members were there to take people thru the new building while their car was being washed. They had a full page ad in the paper

Elder & Sister Schmoe (Humanitarian Missionaries in Karlovac)

Marko came and cooked lunch for us. He is a new convert in Zagreb of 3 months and went with us to the Czech conference.

A photographer from the newspaper came to take some pictures.

Missionaries hard at work. They had a great water fight when it was all over.

Today, Sunday, we went to Karlovac to Church. This is Elder Jensen's last day in the mission field.

We met with our landlady, Marija and her daughter, to go over what belongs to who. The missionaries have been with her for about 8 years she said. Her daughter is here from Germany and speaks English.
