Hey guys! I trust everyone is doing well! We unfortunately left the coast and had to leave Croatia behind. We are now in Banjaluka which is in the northern part of Bosnia. It's also the Serbian part, so there are less mosques and more cathedrals! We walked into one and it is SO beautiful! No photos allowed tho. 
We arrived here on Tuesday of this week.
We have been doing some orientation and did a scavenger hunt around the city! I had to take a load of pictures of Tanner in front of monuments and random things around the city. It was good times. We also have been going to a children's home/orphanage to hang out with kids. It's amazing there! There are around 30-40 kids that I have seen, and there are more around that I haven't met yet. We did a photo booth with them, played lots of soccer, and they got to watch me fall really hard on the cement off my skateboard. They also have never really tried skateboarding so the kids lie down on them on their stomachs and crawl around. Those kids have way too much fun on them.
They don't have a skatepark in the city but there is one main area with lots of ledges and open space for flat ground tricks. That is where the skaters congregate to skate and most definitely sit around too. The skaters I have met so far are older dudes and really down to earth. They were telling me skate culture is a safe place for them where they are free to just skate and make good friends which is really cool. They are also open to hear about what we believe which is sweet. I think God will give us some cool opportunities with them as we are here in the city for most of June!
That is just a quick little update! God continually meets us where we are at, teaches us new things, and we love him more and more each day. Thanks so much for your prayers and support!
Much love, Nick
