If Life Was In Transfers.... Sept. 7th, 2015

Servus družina in ostali!

If life was measured in transfers...our lives would go even faster than they already do. We alre more than half way through this transfer and it is going to be a very busy three and a half weeks. Sister Christensen and I still have to do exchanges with 2 companionships and we have another zone conference in Ljubljana in two weeks...and we just got back from zagreb again. I should really start learnign croatian already.

Shoutout to Baby Will. Welcome to the fam bud. He doesn't know what he signed up for in this fam. ;)

A quick update on life here in Slovenia: Person from person, house to house, and two activities this month. We are searching and finding. There are some really promising people who said we could come back next week that we found outside of Maribor in the areas we already went through, and we got to have a young women's activity! It was great! We made granola bars together (shoutout to Kar) and decorated notebooks for school. We had two sisters come (the only yw in our branch) AND an old investigator! The one who's mother did not want her to investigate anymore! She is so awesome and I was so happy she came! A really great bunch of girls and it was one of the highlights of my weak. We also have a branch picnic this week and are encouraging everyone to invite their friends, so we are praying for good weather and lots of new investigators! It is going to be great and in my favorite park ever. Mestni Park, Maribor. It is giant, and green and very beautiful. Google that. I'll try to send some pics. I secretly never want to leave Maribor . . . not yet anyway.

So it is turning out to be a great this week and we have found a little more energy and drive so I am ready too find these prepared people this week!

One of my favorite parts of this week? We live RIGHT by a school and on the first day of school this week, we were in the middle of companion study about to pray and the loudest, most intense yodeling that I have ever heard would not stop. We wanted to pray multiple times, but then had to laugh because it was sooo loud and random and something that would only happen in Slovenia. The best part? IT was a live event. There was an actual human performing for the first day of school. Really great start to the day. Haha.

I love and pray for you all and hope you have an amazing week!

Love,

Sestra Rhodes
