We had another fantastic week here in Zagreb. I had my very last zone conference :( Usually we would have one more, but this one was special and all the countries are taking a turn coming to the mission home in Zagreb and staying the night. Ours was first this week and it was a wonderful conference! I learned a ton and we did a lot of practicing teaching. We are really focused right now on becoming master teachers and I only wish we would have done this at the beginning of my mission!!!! We also played basketball and volleyball, I got to play some piano and we had an American bbq! (Happy 4th of July ps) I also had to give my 'farewell testimony' that all departing missionaries give at their last zone conference. Only I had to give mine premature. However I always love a chance the testify!
Baka is doing really great. She could be baptized this week. We are going start with the commandments this week, so that should be fun. She also made us MORE burek...Sister Davis and I just looked at each other and our faces started to turn green. We had already had SO much the previous week and decided we could handle no more, and then she puts a big plate of it in front of us that she made JUST for us. Haha. Too kind of her.
She came to church this week and stayed for all three meeting as did TWO of our other investigators! They are the single neighbors that have the lessons together. Three investigators at church! It was so fantastic!! We had to help in primary for second hour, so we did not get to go with them to Sunday school but the other missionaries went with them and showed them the way and apparently they were all really active and giving great answers to questions and what not!
Also random part of the week... I had heard some music from 2CELLOS from missionaries before but did not know much about them. Well on our way home on Saturday there were THOUSANDS of people smashed in the center of Zagreb and they were having a free concert in the main square! We heard a couple pieces and it was so cool! I thought they were from the states but then one of them started off by saying 'good evening zagreb!' in Croatian. I just thought, 'how cute he learned a phrase so he could say that to these people.' THEN he continued in Croatian and the second cellist. One is from Slovenia and the other is from Croatia. I have never seen Zagreb so packed and needless to say I was just a bit more excited than my Rugby companion. haha. I may or may not have freaked out a little. Here is the best picture I could get!
Well that is that for this week! I love and pray for you all!!!!
Pozz,
