We did some volunteering with Red Cross which was a ton of fun! We just cleaned up a bay area and had a nice lunch after. We are still on the search for more service as always. I definitely love the weeks we have a ton of service.
So we found a friend online from Thailand who is a member but living here in Zadar. He works at a hotel with a friend and their family, all from Thailand. We went to visit him at the hotel and we all played volleyball together, SO MUCH FUN. I love volleyball a ton even though I'm not the greatest at it. They all ended up coming to church which was awesome and hopefully we can work with them more!
The family (the Sarkanović's, Biserka and Slaven) we met last week also came to church yesterday. It was funny because on Saturday evening we got a call from our branch president who said he wasn't going to be able to come to church the next day and that the speaker wouldn't be able to do the talk. So I conducted and we all wrote little talks and I was the translator for the Bulgarian missionaries during it all. It was a nice experience because I got through it fine which felt good, of course they simplified it down for me as well but still. Afterwards, the family who came (their first time) said they really enjoyed it and complimented me on the translating and stuff. They were like "it's crazy for us to come here and have an American translate into Croatian here in a church in our own country." We are planning to start teaching them the lessons when they come back the next week which will be way fun!
We also met this guy from Turkey who also wants to take some of the lessons, he is such a cool guy.
Next week we are planning on playing soccer with buddies and I'm stoked to play again haha it's been too long.
Finally we went to this cool castle for pday with a Ukrainian refugee who was baptized by one of the missionaries who's currently with is so that was really cool!
Hope y'all have a good week!
