hahahaha ok today i have 2 stories for you!!!
hahaha ok so first off, the member that baptisted Sveto, (our baptism) his name is Franjo, and he is going so good. He has been a member for about a year and he was only about half active... but now he is the most active member! He calls us like 3 times a week and wants to come on lessons and visit other members. He is doing so good, he is preparing for the temple now. The baptism changed his life and i have a feeling pretty soon we will have a new counsilor in the Maribor Branch.
Oh one other thing, i am not sure if i told you but Sveto is doing way good, he isnt in the Maribor branch cause he had to move for winter, but he is going way good. And we have members calling him and helping him stay active and to strengthen relationships!
Ok so this is a cool story for you! so we had a training meeting with president and he said as missionaries we need to be bolder we need to really let people know, what we believe. Then he focused on the fact that as missionaires we have the right to go and share the gospel to everyone, and that when someone tells us to leave the block (its like a bunch of appartment buildings) that we need to be respectfull but we need to keep going, we need to keep doing what we are here to do.
So we were tracting and thats exactly what we did! haha so we were tracting this blok and we were having good success, then we knocked on this mans door (and the man had the smell of beer in his breath, but he wasnt too drunk) and he said no i am not interested and to go away. So we did, and we just went to the next door... Then he comes out and says LEAVE, and we were very respectfull and said we had to knock ever door and that we wont bug him. Then he gets man and starts yelling and swearing at us for like 2 mins ( atleast i think he was swearing cause i couldnt understand those words) hahaha and then grabs my companion and pushes/throws him and then grabs me, and i was pretty calm and told me we have atthority to be here and he can call the cops or do what he needs but that we needed to finish.
But this didnt make him happy so he starts trying to throw us out literaly, and while he was grabbing/pushing us, he stole my comps white hand book and wouldnt give it back. So then i just told my comp to forget about his white hand book and we will just keep going. So i start walking to the next floor and he grabs me and tries throwing me back, and this time he was but wripped my shirt and i turn around and that was just too much for me and was mad so i shoved him hard and he almost fell over... but then i kept my cool and he gets in my face like he wanted to fight, but i wasnt going to start anything, but that i needed to protect myself! i thought he was going to punch me cause he was so mad, but then his wife shows up and tells him to knock it off and so he leaves and his wife gets the our white hand book from him and gives it to us, so then we just go to the next floor and continue.
THEN... 5 mins later he comes down and tells us alot of bad things! (and he said he called the cops but the cops said that we were ok, so he was mad) haha and we just keep tracting and he just followed us to ever single door telling us we suck and that nobody likes us, hahaha and every time he would tell us we sucked i would just smile cause it was just funny to me, which would just make me even mader. But the good news is we did finish the whole blok and he just walked around with us for like 20 mins.
So everything turned out good, except my shirt, i ended up throwing it away cause it was wripped, but we went to the next blok after that guy and we actually met a guy and had a lesson and he is super super elect, and became a new investigator!!
but other then that everything is going good and thanks for everything!!! ps... i am 20!!!! i am soooo old!
love,
