Hello from the Adriatic Sea,

Well our adventures in Bosnia came to an end today but our experiences will never be forgotten.

I would just like to start by saying thank you for all your prayers and support, and for giving us the chance to make lasting friendships, experience a different and wonderful culture, to let God work through us and change our lives in the process.

While in Jajce we worked at a kids club from three to five in the afternoon every day. The kids varied every day, but two little girls that I became attached to were Ivana, and Frikreta, both six years old. If you know me at all you know that I become attached to kids very easily. One day as Ashley and I were sitting on the balcony of our house eating the kifla (very very excellent bread) that we were supposed to be saving for breakfast, we heard some kids yelling up at us "hey" we looked down to find the two girls smiling faces, so we invited them up. For the next hour we were able to share our food with them and struggle through trying talk with them not knowing each others languages. We brought out our English to Croatian dictionaries, and tried to piece words together, and the girls would just smile and talk to us like we could understand. That was the most awesome time for me because I got to do what I really love Just hanging out with a kid and being a kid myself.

We are now on the coast of the beautiful blue green sparkling diamond sea of the Adriatic. I hope that gives you somewhat of a picture. I am looking forward to just relaxing, and swimming, and drinking more coffee, and processing my time in Bosnia. No pool table here which is a little bit of a disappointment:) I think I will be ready to return to Phoenix in a couple days. I miss you all, especially my Brat ( brother), and my pas (dog).
