Sweet friends!

The last few days have been so refreshing! Here are a few pictures of our friends from the UM staff team who are with us this week.

In less than 24 hours 4 members from our University of Montana staff team are coming to visit us in Rijeka!!! We can hardly wait! Wednesday night they were at Fuel, UM's weekly meeting, and Thursday morning they will get on a plane to begin the trek to see us. They will bring with them Christmas present from both our families and various things we can't get here like chocolate chips, OTC medicines, marshmallows etc. But mostly they will bring encouragement, refreshment and news from the team and ministry at home. They will link the ministry here with our ministry at UM in a tangible way. They will also get worked like crazy as they are coming during the busiest week of the semester. For 3 nights next week we will do an English workshop called Story of the Soul and then celebrate Thanksgiving with a party for our Croatian friends. I'll be sure to post some real pictures once they get here. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to show them all dressed up. =)
