A Glimpse Into Our Trip to Bosnia
If you haven't had a chance to see some of my (favorite) pictures culled from the several thousand from Bosnia, they are up on Facebook. You can see them here without signing up for FB.
They don't include many of the sponsored kids' pictures or the couple of days we spent in Croatia and Amsterdam. I'll post those in separate albums later.
They also don't include photos of Dan and Julie and kids (our missionary family) in Bosnia. For security reasons they have asked that I not post photos online with their last name, so just to be safe, I'm posting their photos on a private page.
The old city of Mostar was truly a step back in time. The beauty of the StariMost Bridge was spectacular from most any vantage point.
There's more to come about this amazing trip!

Quick Overview of our Bosnia Trip so far...
Our trip has gone smoothly, as far as logistics. Bob's head cold has been the biggest hurdle for their performances. Most people can't tell that he's having issues, but for those of us who know what the songs should sound like, we can tell that he's struggling at times.
Please be praying for him especially the next few days. We leave today for Sarajevo and the guys will be performing either at churches or another venue on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. He will need a strong voice to make it through those times.
Terry's harmonica and mandolin have been a big hit with everyone.
Funny note! Not that I want to perpetuate this stereotype, but I think it's hilarious that several Bosnians have also recognized the similarity between Bob and Terry and Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets. This seems to reveal itself most often in their dry sense of humor when they're performing. The Bosnians weren't going to tell us, but it kind of slipped out at lunch the other day. Apparently they were laughing about it when the guys were performing at the Coffee Bar the other night. I love it!
Sorry I don't have time to share more, but we're heading out to Sarajevo in a few minutes.
