Searching for Members at the Croatian Border

We drove with Sister Vasica and Sister Gordon to Totujfalu on the border of Croatia looking for a member of the church who lives out there.  The river is the border, and it is beautiful.





Sister Vasica was happy.  She is from Serbia and speaks Croatian, which came in handy that day.

We loved this tree lined road!  It looks like it goes on forever.





We are deciding if we are going to open the gate and face the wrath of the big black dog who is growling at us from behind the gate.




It's not all fun and games!  Sister Vasica promised to protect Sister Gordon from the dog.  He was pretty scary.  She also spoke Croatian to the people in the house.  They were very friendly and fed us some cabbage bread.  They didn't even know us, but they were very kind.  And the dog went from growling at us to licking us as soon as he knew that his owners accepted us.



This is a very friendly family in the falu.  We stopped to ask for some information.  The father just happened to be a cousin of the man we were looking for.  It's a small falu after all. . .
