Zdravo spet!
Čas leti!! Time is flying over here. We find out about transfers in just over a week and I am a little nervous. I have been in Maribor for 6 months! Crazy. I love this place and I fear if I ever have to move I will not understand the different dialects. But, come what may and love it. :)
This last week was great. We had zone conference in Ljubljana, then switched companions for exchanges and Sister Nydegger came to Maribor with me for a day and a half, then we went back to Ljubljana for District Conference. So exchanges first: We went out to tract in that outside city again and had a lesson with a family out there! It was pretty dark and we were about to head home, but we decided to go back to this one house (who had previously invited us to come back) and we had about 15 minutes with them. We got to know them a little and prayed with them and though it wasnt the best of lessons...the best part...they said we could come back to share more! This family actually just moved into the area about a month ago, and the original family we were teaching moved out. The Lord works in mysterious ways, but I am really hoping for these guys! They were super awesome and I cant wait to go back this weekend!
District Conference was also awesome. It is all the members in Slovenia (who can afford to come) come to Ljubljana and President Grant comes and we heard some amazing talks, felt the spirit together, snacked together, and praised in song together! I love being around the members. They are pioneers and they make my faith stronger just by seeing their faithfulness despite the low numbers of members around them. It was a really great meeting and we had a push for missionary work via the internet. It is interesting to see how missionary work is changing because of the capablities of sharing the gospel through the internet!
So one more exchange with the sisters in Kranj this week and a lot of work to do here in Maribor. Here is to another good week wherever you are in the world right now! I love you all!

ps, we have been studying and practicing teaching people how to pray lately and I am constantly reminded how important it is and how we can always be giving it a better effort. The book 'Every Member a Missionary' has a great chapter on teaching prayer and I invite all of you to read it and think about how your prayers are going! IT has helped me a TON! xoxo
