A couple months ago Jon was asked to come to speak at and play in a basketball tournament sponsored by the Adriatic North Mission (Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Herzegovina, and Serbia) honoring Kresimir Cosic. He lived next to Kresimir his freshman year of college at BYU and knew him quite well before he became a member of the church. The following link tells about the first tournament:
Jon's memories of Kresimir Cosic are featured on the church website for each of the countries in this Mission. This link will take you to one of those articles. They have been translated into the native language and then you can google translate it back to English. Quite a bit is lost in the translation, but you can get a general idea.

Even David Archuleta was there. If you look closely you will see him in the front row about sixth from the right in the white t-shirt. We never found out why he was there, but some thought it either had to do with a girlfriend or his sister. Apparently he has an attachment to this mission. Here he is preforming at a fireside in 2016 in the chapel where we attended Sacrament Meeting on Sunday.

| Sister Ann Madsen - Truman Madsen's widow. Kresimir was like a son to their family and she returns to Croatia to see his widow and family every year. In our conversation, we discovered that a new missionary to Hungary, Sister Arts, used to work for her. We met Sister Arts just a couple weeks ago at Zone Conference. Small World! |
