SCM - Happy Father's Day



Dear family and friends,
I want to begin this Father's Day update by thanking each one of our children for being independent enough to make it possible for their parents to serve this mission in Slovenia.  There is no greater joy than knowing that your children are walking in light and truth.  Challenges abound, but they are met by capable hands and hearts.  Thanks for making this Father's Day a happy one for me.
I've heard from some of you, after seeing the pictures of our ONE hike, that we've been vacationing in Europe.  So that you'll know that we actually do work in between P-days, I've selected a different set of pictures this time.
We recently went to Zagreb Croatia with President & Sister Hill for a Zone Conference.  The fountain in this picture was designed by a church member.
We are fortunate to have such a spiritual and talented mission president.  Zone conferences with President Hill are a highlight.

The new chapel in Zagreb was scheduled for dedication in two weeks, so we did and 'advance fly-by' to be sure it would be ready on schedule.
Well, it looks pretty good from the outside.  There was still a lot of interior work to complete in the final hours.
After the conference we took a walking tour of downtown Zagreb.  Quite a contrast between the old and the new.

We had a baptism recently in Ljubljana.  Elder Hunter (the beaming one) was our trainer.
Sister Lindorf, always cheerful.
Earlier I showed you a picture of our apartment from the inside.  This shot shows the back of our home from the street.  We have the whole upstairs of the house in the center. 
We were trying to capture these magnificent sunbeams, but the picture doesn't do it justice.
I thought this rose 'tree' would look prettier with Sister Lindorf in front of it.
We appreciate your spending a few minutes with us.  We would enjoy hearing from you as well.  You don't have to send us pictures, but just a quick note to let us know what you're up to would be great!
We LOVE being on a mission.  We LOVE the missionaries.  We LOVE the work.  We LOVE Slovenia.
And we LOVE YOU!
All our best,
Elder and Sister Lindorf
