The Chronicles of Bosnia 2025/2026

The Church Historian, Elder McKay, and his wife visited our mission along to interview members and missionaries . Charles and I were invited to meet with him in Podgorica.   We drove 5 hours to the airport to pick them up.  We were so happy to run into an old friend, Tarzan, from when we lived in Podgorica.   Our first stop was Doclea, an ancient Roman city that once served as the capital of the local Roman province and the site where Elder Nelson dedicated the country in 2010.
