YSA trip to Croatia






This past weekend I was able to go to Croatia and visit the Adriatic Sea with the Young Single Adult group here in Slovenia! It was such an amazing experience! All of the Single Adults here are converts and most of them are the only members in their families, and so it was fun to see the support that they are to each other. They were all very close and it was fun to be a part of and to learn from such a strong group of people! It took about 3 hours to get there, but on the way we would get out and take a lot of pictures and enjoy the gorgeous mountains and scenery. We then got to the Sea and I have never seen such gorgeous water! The water was white, green and blue! It was incredible! We then had a fireside on the Sea and then walked around the little city of Basnik and had dinner together. It was such an amazing day and I learned so much from them and their stories.
We then were able to all watch Conference together because all of the Branches in Slovenia met at our building, and so it was fun to spend the entire weekend with them!

  1. It looks beautiful there! What a great experience. I was in Florida one year for conference so we went to the church building to participate and it was a nice change from watching conference at home.

  4. What a great experience for you. I just can't imagine what those special YSA have to go through being true "pioneers" in their country. I hope that they are able to be sustained and stay faithful. And the pictures of the country are beautiful. Take care.
