Weekend in God's Creation

This past weekend has been great! On Friday we went with the three visitors from Dewey, Oklahoma to Plitvice Lake National Park. Ivan acted as our tour guide and showed us around the park. Despite the fact that it was rainy and overcast, we all had a great time! There were so many waterfalls of all different sizes that I could not even count them all! It was amazing and truly beautiful. Being out in such beautiful nature likes this makes me feel so close to God. It makes me marvel at his great work and wonder how much more beautiful Heaven will be if God can make such wonderful place on earth. Stacey and I really enjoyed getting to know the people from Dewey better. Their church supports the Zapresic Church of Christ. They wanted to come by Croatia on their way to Poland to witness firsthand the good works the church here is doing. They had so much wisdom to share with us. They left us early Saturday morning to continue their good work in Poland.

Saturday was a great day of much needed rest for Stacey and I. We decided to go out some more in the afternoon and explore the town of Zapresic. Today (Sunday) we enjoyed the church service this morning. Because today is the day the day of Pentecost is recognized Ivan lead the church in an exercise where he read Scriptures from Acts and the church responded with scriptural things. This afternoon Peter (the oldest missionaries son) went on a walk with us around a beautiful forest/golf course area. It was a really neat area that had walking trails with ruins of a castle and several other very old buildings. Stacey and I really enjoyed getting to once again be out in God's creation. Tonight we had our second party. It was not as well attended as we would of liked, but we enjoyed playing games with those that did show up. Continue to pray for Stacey and I as we begin our third week of reading tomorrow. Also pray that we both continue to get new readers.



God Blessed,
