Hey Croatia Prayer Team:

I'm forwarding our first communication from David & Team via Debbie from Croatia.  Praise God for all the good things that have happened and please pray for regaining strength from the tiring trip.  Also, pray fervently that the city will mow the ball field so our team won't have to do that.

Thank you all for your prayers.

Earl,

David called me today. The first group to go made it to Janko's house where they will be staying. He said they had a good flight, but it was a very long day. They bought tickets that were about $400 cheaper per person, but had to go thru Canada, then Germany and onto Zagreb, which made there trip about 24hrs. He said the Canada flight was wide open and very comfortable and they did not charge them the extra baggage fee, so that saved them another $250, which he thought was worth the extra leg. Praise that all their bags arrived as well. They got their rental car and got everything loaded and didn't have quite enough room, so David stayed at the airport a couple more hours waiting on Neven to come pick him and the extra bags up.

He said the weather is nice there. About 80 degrees or a little less, so that is good. He drove by the ball field and it needs a lot of work before they can have the camp. They have been depending on the city to mow it, and it hasn't been done. He said the weeds are about knee high. Supposedly the city is coming by to mow it tomorrow, so pray they come, otherwise our team will be quite busy with the unexpected work of getting the field ready for use.

They are all tired, so please pray that they get some rest tonight and that everyone stays healthy.

God Bless,

Debbie
