This is a catch-up blog covering the month of August while we were still in Osijek, Croatia. We moved to Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia on September 1st.
We had Bro. and Sis. Gojkovic, Dario, Elder Valentine, Elder Lee, Susana, and her two daughters over for lunch. They are all fantastic. Dario is taking the photo. The Gojkovic's are great member missionaries, they are the ones that introduced Susana and her daughters to the gospel. The girls are very sweet and insisted on helping to do the dishes.
Here we are with Alen and Lydia, two YSA's in the Osijek Branch. Lydia has translated for us numerous times and we enjoyed doing institute with Alen. Their mother, also named Lydia, is great as well.
This is our good friend, Dario. He loves Canada. He helped us with many things while we were there in Osijek. He helps clean the church every week.
Zlako, who plays the piano in our branch, and one of the young English conversation students.
After Elder Valentine's farewell dinner we took this photo with President Kovacavic, his mom, Vesna, and the Gojkovic's.
Heather with some of her English conversation group. They are amazing women.
Group photo from Elder Valentine's going home party and welcoming party for the Loveridges who took our place in Osijek.
Photo with Vesna. She is a very outgoing person who we met on one of our morning walks. She is very friendly. After some effort. we figured out how to use google translate to communicate. Technology is great!







We are very grateful for the short 10 weeks we were able to spend in Osijek. It is amazing how fast you can get to know people when you are on a mission.
