SCM - Bohinj & Bled

Hello Family & Friends, Sister Lindorf has sent out the past few updates, so it's my turn this time.  Hope you enjoy the photos. Recently we were privileged to have Elder Christofferson visit our mission to dedicate the new chapel in Zagreb, Croatia.  Here he is with some of our Sister Missionaries. Just in case you think missions are all work and no play, I have included a few pictures of our district P-day trip to a lake and waterfall at Bohinj, Slovenia. This is Elder Hunter, my trainer, getting a drink from one of the natural springs. He didn't train me to do that.  I prefer water from a bottle! This is Sister Knudsen.  She helped us in the office for a few weeks between assignments.  How we have grown to love her! Here's the waterfall at Bohinj.  Just one of the natural wonders that are so abundant in this beautiful country.  The water is crystal clear coming off the mountain. At the end of the day, we stopped for dinner at our favorite restaurant.  The Elders all had teaching appointments, so I ended up with a table full of sister missionaries.  I've never complained about being 'on the girls team'! We had to say 'goodbye' last week to some of our beloved missionaries including Sister Lindorf's trainer, Elder Godfrey.  But fortunately, we got to say 'hello' to a brand new group of missionaries fresh from the MTC.  Here are a few getting on the train on the way to their first assignment. Now for a personal note.  Today, August 24th, is Sister Lindorf's Birthday so I'm sending her a rose We celebrated early by taking a trip to Bled, Slovenia - another natural wonder. It's hard to capture in photographs how beautiful Slovenia is.  We're really enjoying the green.  It reminds us a lot of our home in Oregon. Here's the birthday girl with her favorite companion. We are very grateful for the opportunity we have to serve here.  We love the missionaries and the members.  Today a group from our District is leaving for the Temple in Frankfurt, including one member we taught the temple prep lessons to over the past few weeks.  We are also teaching The Marriage and Family Relations class to two recently married couples, and today Sister Lindorf was asked to teach Seminary.  The blessings just keep coming.  It's a wonderful life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Elder Lindorf
