We enjoyed a picnic and making sand castles on the beach of the river in our town, a last summer outing before school. This was at the river which divides Croatia from Bosnia. The city brought in sand from the sea, complete with shells!

SCHOOL
Kirsten (15) was "initiated" into her girls' dorm at BFA in Germany. Ariela (8) and Daniel (11) started home school classes here at home in Slavonski Brod, Croatia. |

SECRETARY
It was great have my secretary, Joy Hill, here for 3 weeks during her time in Europe back from Australia for a couple weeks. We do most of our work virtually over a long distance but it was so nice to be in the same room and get a lot of administrative work done on my office and for the Bible translation projects.
