Hello Family!
Long time no contact eh?
Since I talked to you last . . . approx 3 days ago . . . we made a trip
to Zagreb and back. There we ate delicous food, got spriritually fed,
played volleyball and basketball as a zone with pres and I got to
play the piano and Sister Robertson and I and the zone leaders took an
hour to teach and roleplay about using scriptures and testifying! It was
a really awesome 24 hours and now we are back in Maribor knocking on
doors and stopping people in the streets.
We also have
exchanges with Celje this week, so I will have another Sister with me in
Maribor for a couple days and it will be great to get another
perspective on missionary work! The family we are teaching..we have not
actually taught since I talked to you last. We are going to go pretty
slow with them as she used to be Muslim and her husband Catholic. We
also are trying really hard to get the whole family involved, not just
their mom. If they can find the truth and happiness of the gospel together, it
will be easier and more benefitial and they will be that much closer to
going to the temple. So if any of you have any ideas of how to teach
and get the kids involved and still have the spirit...feel free to pass
those ideas on, mothers. That is directed at you.
A quick
Slovenec tid bit: Slovene's are some of the most generous people and
rather polite. They stand to shake hands, always give you juice. We had a
friend buy us a sladoled out of the blue when he saw us and he did the
same for the elders and they are always willing to help when you ask
questions about Slovene, and time after time, I have been fed by
strangers or given juice or water. . . itd. (in tako dalje) Though it is
going to take some serious softening for some of these people to accept
the gospel, they are a very kind people... Most of the time. Every place
has exceptions.
One of the coolest stories of the week: We
actually had a lesson with a couple on a bench! Usually one of them will
listen and the other won't really talk. But these two are sooo awesome
and believe in God...a very recent change for them. They took a book of
Mormon and are leaving for the summer but we will call them in August.
It is always cool to here how people have truly felt God in their lives,
even if it is not through our church. He is talking and helping lots of
people every day. And NOW they will be prepared to accept His true
church on the earth. So, God is preparing people I know it. I only pray
that I am worthy enough and working hard enough and am in tune with the
spirit in order to find those who will accept this glorious message.
I love you all, the church is true. Always has been, always will be. Stay strong. Send me picture. I love dem pics. :)
Lepo bodite!!!
