Hey, so i am writing on tuesday because yesterday everything was closed!
ok so i attached some new pictures that a member took.
We had 27 people at church! its was super cool! it was a record of members for us!
So... good news... i went bowling yesterday for p-day and also last p-day (its so fun cause its a euro an hour). Well i think i have a secret talent for bowling. Both times i have had the high score of like 170 or 180. So i came up with a new goal... i decided that if i can bowl a 170 without playing very often and just teaching myself and not having a very good bowling ball. Then I bet if i went home and worked on getting good at bowling (and got my own ball) then i could bowl a 300! so that is my new goal. When i go home i am going to practice and bowl a 300! You guys probably think i am joking but i am totally going to!
I had a super cool experience this week. We did alot of service for a couple of members. We did service for one member named Andrej....Ok so some background info on andrej, well andrej is about 5 foot 10, and weighs about 130 pounds! Well when he meet the missionaries 5 years ago he was a wreck, he could barely stand without shaking and had such bad confidence issues that he was having a hard time finding reasons to live. He has a great family but all of them are in-active except for him. Well when he meet the missionaries he felt something different and came to church ever single week after he met them! Something super cool about andrej is he doesnt study unnecessary doctrine. He studies the basics over and over and over, but he knows more doctrine then an member i have met! He really understands the basics and he applies them! He is a really good guy and doing well, but he just needed some help around the house, and he needs to feel special and wanted. Well when we went to do service we also invited franjo to come along and help... (but he ended up just sleeping for 3 hours in andrejs house) but i guess its the thought that counts! haha Well he was very thankful and then later in the week.
Well later in the week when we had a lesson with him, we taught him about missionary work and how members are missionaries! it was a really good lesson, and we were talking about sharing the gospel with our friends and he just looked up and said he cant really do that cause he doesnt have friends, he said that he had a lot of friends but they are super bad and tempt him to break the word of wisdom so he doesnt hang out with them anymore. And if he would hang out with them then he would teach them about the word of wisdom. Then he said, but its ok because i have better friends now, i have you guys!!!! hahaha i love that guy! And then he talked about how the gospel has really helped him in his life.
Another cool thing is my hands are hammerd!!! we did some service for a single lady member from ljubljana! And I used a giant mower thing that cuts the grass (she took some pictures for you) but it pretty heavy and i was cutting the grass on a huge hill! Well needless to say, that he was so thankful and she was so suprised that i didnt need to take a break! (i really misssss doing hard physical work, so i worked super hard). Well i did all her grass plus the bottom part. And now i have about 10 blisters!!!! but its ok its totally cool! And other good news is i am super tan! hahaha i got burt then it taned up!
well everything is good over here!
transfers this week!
