We have enjoyed listening to the talks every day and pondering the daily questions.
Today in Sunday School we were discussing the importance of surrounding ourselves with good friends. We learned there is a saying in the Balkans "Who you are with is who you are."
We spent Thursday in Tuzla. Our first stop was at the disabled women's organization. We are helping them renovate a retail space in the town square. After our business was completed, we gave her the baby quilt I made for her grandson. She has one daughter and this baby will be her first grandchild. He is due any day and she is so excited!

That's the only picture this week; we took more but they are all of smelly, leaky bathrooms that we visited in a Children's Home. They are asking for help to replace pipes and fixtures so they don't leak and will be usable. It was not a pretty sight.
Our next stop was the rural town of Teoćak, about 45 minutes outside of Tuzla. It is nestled in the mountains and very picturesque. They need help equipping four kindergarten classrooms. We were a little confused about kindergarten when they said children can start as early as six months and go until they are five. Kindergarten here is more of an in-school day-care, then they go to pre-school at age five.
The senior couple in Banja Luka brought us a pork roast last week. That was our dinner today with the Elders and a new couple in the Branch here doing an internship. We haven't tasted pork for 9 months and it was a real treat.
Day 10 question: Why does God allow evil and suffering to happen? 2 Nephi 2:1-30. Elder Oaks April 2016 talk "Opposition in All Things."
