Today we were off to Nik's Village, Stjepovo, with our water specialists to see if a water project is possible.
The first thing to notice as our car climbs the mountain road are the rocks.
We arrive at the school. We have to see this interesting cow before we go inside.
Podgorica is the target on the left. If you follow the map east (and you are climbing a mountain the entire way), you will see Stjepovo (a white dot). See how close it is to the Albanian border (the purple line). Stjepovo is 900 meters (3,000 ft.) in elevation.
Elder Petersen, the principal, a math teacher (the principal's nephew who speaks English), and Elder Brown are discussing how the project could work.
Rain water would run off this roof and collect in a cistern that would be put where the firewood is right now.
The bathroom in the school would be where the window is. Plumbing would come out of the school and into a drain field where the trees are. This area gets a tremendous amount of rain during the school year. Elder Petersen told us to go ahead and submit a proposal for a project.
After we left the school, we showed the Petersens the large cross. (left to right) Nik, Elder Brown, Elder & Sister Petersen, Kristina

We showed the Petersens Stjepovo's Grand Canyon . . .
and the picturesque village.
On the way home we stopped to see Nik's two baby goats. It was a good trip.
