Back in Zagreb and…Snow of the Century

Well, it seems I haven’t posted on here in a while. I spent three weeks in December in Texas. While it was great to be with my family for some time around Christmas, it was also a time full of visiting with supporters, mailing ministry reports, and so on. I arrived back in Zagreb on January 1, 2013, after spending new year’s eve somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. Then last week we had a record snowfall in Zagreb. We had about 2 1/2 feet of snow last Monday, and then more kept coming throughout the week. They said this was the most snowfall in one day in Zagreb since 1920. Needless to say, things were rather slow last week. We even cancelled some classes at the institute. It was more a week of trying to keep the snow at bay with shovels, staying warm and fed, and staying safe in transit when we did have to leave the house. Thankfully this week it is warming up and things are getting a bit more back to normal. Now it’s back to finishing up the semester. I will wrap up my teaching duties for this academic year next week. Then I have several projects for the institute and the church that I will either start or continue, one of them being starting the administrative preparations for our Champs Camp, which will again be held in June. But we are supposed to have a bit more snow again later this week. Below are photos from around my apartment last week:
