Crniches go to the Adriatic North

April 21 & 22 We hosted our first Single Senior Conference in Zagreb
at the Mission Home.  We had 8 single members, ages 45-55 from the countries of Croatia and Slovenia.  They arrived Friday afternoon and along with our committee we prepared "gathering games" and snacks.  Not everyone knew each other so we played the game where you had to find someone who had done "this or that".  I had to create the game and get it translated into Croatian.


We served dinner for 20 people.  We had special helpers who prepared a spiritual thought to open our conference, taught them ballroom dancing, karaoke and rounded out the night with cake and ice cream.






The next morning I had to conduct a Yoga group, where they just didn't want to stop.  They seem to enjoy everything.














Breakfast was served, special speaker, opening theme activity, learn how to use social media, and then team building games.

Outside for human fooseball and then lunch was served.

Afternoon found them learning self reliance, doing a "Me in 30 Seconds" and watching video training on using and transcribing on Billiongraves.com.

Our theme of Helping Hands ended with a video clip of Alex Boye singing "Have I done Any Good". It kept us busy picking up members coming in on the train and bus and then running them back for their return home transportation.



I think they had a great time, lots of laughing and smiles and they were able to enjoy other members of the church from different parts of the country.

                                               (Sorry they are to bashful to have you listen!)
That evening our branch members (five men) were able to stay at the mission home for the night because District Conference was the next day.  That evening we were treated to a sing-along of their Croatian songs.  We laughed, clapped and cheered.  One particular song we loved was all of them singing about their native town of Varazdin..."The Men from Varazdin".  Hope that you are able to play it....what they lack in skill they make up for in enthusiasm!!!  They are awesome!
