It’s Monday morning and the sun is up over Croatia. We arrived in country yesterday after spending 46 hours in hotels and airports and planes. It took a bit for us to get here but we were warmly greeted by Hrvoje, Kent, and Cheri at the airport.

Funny aside: When we got off the airplane in Split it was raining. The airport doesn’t have terminals that hook right up to the planes so we walked down covered stairs and loaded up into buses–which drove a whole (wait for it…): 20 yards to the terminal. Our bus actually drove completely around the airplane to make it worth our while.

Kent and crew brought us back to their apartment in Trogir where we unpacked and settled in. They have actually rented a second apartment for mission teams like ours. Our team is on the floor directly above Kent & Cheri.

After getting settled in, we went down to Kent & Cheri’s for dinner. Concerned about jet-lag, I think their main goal for us today was to make sure we didn’t fall asleep until after dark. Our team was up for that and we had a great time eating and being together. After dinner we looked over the schedule of plans for the week and then went to bed.

This morning, we’re starting off with an orientation and devotional and finishing the day with English classes. Stay tuned.
