Rachel says her favorite thing so far is walking through the Square in Varazdin. For the first time we toured the inside of the Varazdin castle with Emily. That was probably my favorite new thing so far.
Since we've been here last, the church has changed locations. Their building is now in a very visible place and the members here have done so much work. It is really a great blessing and I know they will use it well.
The Varazdin church is a very busy group of people. Right now they have about 30 attenders, including children. Other than a new building, they have recently hosted an ongoing beginners English class, two Let's Start Talking teams, Alpha Course, published a magazine, a radio program, continuing to grow "Croatia for Christ", hosted camps for teenagers, visited Ukraine to encourage them through their unsettled times...and probably more that I just don't know.
Tomorrow we will repack all our bags and boxes and prepare to leave for camp early Tuesday morning. We will go in the church van with several other people. I'm excited to see a new part of this country. If our internet service works I will write a new update there.
Thank you all for your prayers. God is answering them. Please pray this week for Rachel and her diet requirements. It's about to get more complicated. Thanks!

There was much wisdom in arriving several days before camp. I remember jet lag, different food and sleeping in a room that was very close to train whistles. It is so encouraging to hear of how the Trinity has honored our prayers including travel connections, travel safety, luggage, Rachel's diet and relationships. We will be praying for your camp children and your interpreter. (WOW that was close, spell check almost inserted "interrupter". All is well at the Estes Ranch. Skid Steer says hey!
