“Why do you go away? So that you can come back.
So that you can see the place you came from
with new eyes and extra colors.
And the people there see you differently, too.” ― Pratchett

Made our first visit back to America.
Leaving warm beautiful spring days in Zagreb ...
arriving in typical Nor'East spring weather,
overcast and cold, with remnants of a recent snow fall.
It is Mark Twain that is credited with the saying
"If you don't like the weather in New England now,
just wait a few minutes.”
A rare beautiful sunny day spent paddle boarding
and enjoying a picnic lunch with my siblings.

I got to travel 5 days earlier and spent precious time with my family!!
Walked around my favorite areas, eating seafood, in Boston,
Hiked in the woods of New York (Wynantskill),
Had my toes in the warm sand and cold salt water on Cape (Centerville).

A great turn out for all three services.
Along with preaching the good news of Christ, Pastor Brusse gave words of encouragement, prayed for the sick, and even entertained us in song.
After Sunday nights service we held the a water baptism.
Baptizing 7 precious souls!
We ended the night, and ushered in May, with a pizza fellowship.
