| Pozdravljeni! | |||
Great to hear from you all and how life is going. Life here is still on the move. Slovenia is really picking up and there are quite a few people on date for baptism!! Not in Maribor...yet. But our zone as a whole is really seeing blessings and people are prepared here. Some highlights of this week: Two member meals??? We went and helped a member wash her walls in her apartment (which is about all the people that can fit in there. It is the smallest apartment and hardly any space to live in...yet she gives everything, including a meal to the two sister missionaries.) She is such a sweet member and taller than I! How great is that? There are actually quite a few tall people over here. The second member meal was at our branch mission leaders house. His wife is from Austria and she made a beautiful austrian meal for all the missionaries. So spoiled! I look up to the members so much and cherish the time I get with them!
We also had a really successful picnic on Saturday! We invited all the members and aaaall our investigators from the time I have been here and before. We had practically an entire Elders quorum there! They played American football and then we all played frisbee together, bbq of Slovenian food (civabcici...which is actually bosnian sausage sendvič things), and great people. The BEST part...there is a teenage kid and his family who live in maribor. Sestra Robertson and I met them right when I got here and we have stayed friends on the street. We see them a lot and we had been praying for their teenage boy who showed some interest. Well, when we went to play in the park...we saw their whole family! He came and played with us and even came back to the bbq site to get some food. THEN (it gets better) he asked if it would be weird if he could come ot church??? Haha. Oh yes. It would probably be weird for you. But we will rejoice!!! AND EVEN BETTER .... HE CAME!!! He is only 15 and a half but such a great kid and the Elders are starting to teach him this week. That whole family is on their way to the temple I tell you.
We also met a super awesome mom from Brazil who set up to meet with us again and just wants to teach her family how to be strong together and even said she is thinking maybe she has to change in order to teach them the right way...sounds like a dream of a lesson coming up! We get to teach her on Tuesday and I am really excited.
So that is the quick update. Sister Christensen and I just have a few weeks left of this transfers .... time is FLYING! So we have really got to work hard and see some miracles over here in maribor. Warning: awesome things coming up in next weeks email.
Love you all and pray that you hold strong to what you know!
