Made it to Croatia!

I hope this blog entry finds all of you happy and well in the US. I for one am a very tired traveller. I have not been to sleep since I woke up on Thursday morning in Louisiana. My friend Jan, my daughter, and I travelled to The George Bush International Airport where I boarded a Luthansa plane for Frankfort Germany. Thee were a lot of people on this flight, all the seats were full. (PS. I started this entry on the day I arrived in Croatia, I did have to take a break to sleep, and finished it today, the day after)

The flight was about 10 hours long. They served a very nice meal for dinner, I was surprised for an airline. As we approached morning in Europe the The sun started coming up.



They had a way for the passengers to see out side without look through the windows. The picture isn't really very good, you can see the outline of the nose of the plane and the bright light is obviously the sun.

When I arrived in Frankfort, Germany the walk to the next gate was very long, then I had to get on a bus to get to the Croatia Airline plane. This plane was much smaller.



I arrived in Croatia a little later than I was supposed to, Then we drove to Petrinja, It was a lovely drive. They drive on the same side of the street as we do in America.


John and Lois Stefan are the missionaries from the United States that we are staying with. They have been part of this ministry for many years. After eating lunch and resting a little we went to church at the Petrinja Baptist Church.

The music was wonderful. it sounded a lot like cajun or zydeco music. You may see the accordion in the picture. That may be why it reminded me of home.

There was a special speaker, he is a missionary to Europe from Korea, Sangyee Nam. The translator is Bozidar Knezic he is a member of the church from the Czech Republic.

All in all, my first day in Croatia was very busy and a lot of fun.  I was very sleepy and could barely hold my eyes open yet God gave me the strength to stay awake and see the day through to the end.  Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to begin our English classes on Monday. I pray God will bless all of you for keeping us in your prayers.
