We so look forward to our time in this country; beyond its geographic beauty, we anticipate spending time learning the language and culture, and most importantly, interacting with the people!

This past Saturday we had the privilege of spending the evening with new Bosnian friends here in the greater Milwaukee area.  Their warmth, friendliness, giving, and incredible food were just a foretaste of what we pray will be many, many relationships in Bosnia, for His glory.

Update: Other areas of this country are equally known for their beauty. Consider Mostar, or Split in nearby Croatia. Both also are stunning destinations.

Kapljuh landscape

We continue to learn of the fascinating geography in Bosnia. Consider Kapljuh, an area with land infertile for agriculture yet fascinating in is own right.

According to this article, Roman milestone markers have been found in the area. Even more interesting, there are sink holes and an other-worldly appearance to the land.  Fascinating!
