Nailed the 'make your companion an awesome American Valentine's day breakfast' award. :) Those pancakes are pink if you can't tell.
Right to the details. This week was a great one! We had two more lessons with our two dance investigators. The one who is from Russia is very in tune with the spirit and loves coming to lessons and has come to church the past to weeks! We are just trying to introduce her to more members now. The other girl who is a daughter of members...her ideas are actually a little more, well, Balkan. God is love. God is one and faiths are many. God is the energy inside all of us. Faith is not super important but everyone has there own path. Really people just cant put a definition of what it means to feel the spirit. So we are working with her and are excited to meet with her again. Cool fact, she is going to go the the Blackpool ballroom competition in London this summer.
However, she did not come to church...and that is more important.
Another great part of the week, while contacting a few days ago, we talked to two great old, classy classy men. One of them at the end of the conversation held one arm down to the side and tipped his newsies looking hat to us. That just builds the spirits. Then the other man (who came to church the following day) at the end of our conversation instead of wagging a finger or a hand to the face or a giant wave....he played it real classy and just pulled both feet together and gave us a half bow. He knows how to treat a sestra.
We had some tracting time and oh yes, zone conference! I cannot believe how fast they come. We focused all on the restoration and the first vision and Joseph Smith story. It was absolutely wonderful and I feel really blessed because we have had multiple opportunities to share it with people the past few weeks! It also really built my testimony to listen the Joseph Smith story in english, serbian, croatian, and slovenian. Truly, the gospel is being spread in every tongue! What a miracle to be able to witness that!
We also had some very very dirty shoes considering it has been raining all week and were warned that there would be a 'shoe check' at zone conference, so without shoe polish we cleaned our shoes using...banana peels and olive oil. Worked like a charm. So if you are ever in a bind and need shiny shoes....there you have it.
WE have some really important people coming from Frankfurt this week for some public affairs training and I am beyond excited. So looks like this next one is going to be a great one! Still supposed to be rainy but we have a day of sunshine today so we are going to the park!!!
I love and pray for you all! Hope it is an amazing week!
Lijep pozdrav,
Sestra Rhodes
