New Friends and Great Food

 This week started out with us still in Podgorica, Montenegro. We enjoyed our Sunday meeting and met a couple of new people, we were also delighted to see our friend Vitaly who just returned from a visit to the Philippines. He was so excited to tell us about his trip and his new girlfriend he finally met in person after several months of online correspondence. On Sunday evening we had dinner at Elder and Sister Allan's with the young missionaries and a friend that drove 2 hours to meet with us. Poor guy got a speeding ticket on his way in. Dinner was great and we had a good discussion afterwards.

On Monday we went as a group to the ancient ruins of Medun, they were from around 400 BC that is about the time of Malachi in the Old Testament. It was extremely windy that day with gusts over 60 mph.

After our hike we went to the best Mexican restaurant I've ate at anywhere in Europe. Helen had a huge salad that she said was wonderful.

As the week progressed we met with a man from Cameroon, one from Turkey, one from China, one from the Philippines, and one from Serbia. It seemed like we were teaching from the four corners of the Earth. We spent some more time at the coast, it was calm and beautiful this time.

We finished the week off by driving back to Sarajevo, we left 60 degrees and sunshine for 20 degrees and smog but it is nice to be back to our apartment. On Saturday we cleaned the church, had a District Meeting and went out for dinner again. This place was so awesome and our waiter grew up in SLC because his family went there to escape the war here. He is the bald one taking the picture.

As nice as the traveling and food was, the best part of the week was testifying of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to tell these people from all over the world the Jesus loves us all the same. It's inspiring to see these people that leave their homes and family to seek for a better life. Christopher, from Cameroon, has such an amazing spirit about him. He was sharing his feelings about Christ to us and there was such a strong Spirit there. We are loving our experiences and feel blessed to be here.
