Sestra Gittins: Week 10 Rijeka Croatia

Hello! WHAT A WEEK!!

I am in Rijeka, Croatia! It is a cute city right on the coast. When we do our morning runs we run to the pier and look at all the boats. It is a beautiful place, but there is tons of graffiti! (it's a Balkans thing) Here in Rijeka there are lots of cute nuns, and we always love to 'dobar dan' the nuns! Always smile at people on the street and say hello, it goes a long way!!

My trainer is Sister Roberts! She is so smart and very hard working! I love her example! and it was her birthday this week!! So we went out to eat with Elder and Sister Christensen, and the other 2 elders! Our district is the best!

I love being out here and sharing my testimony! It is great to be a missionary! But it is also VERY hard. But I know with the Savior "I can do all things". I really have clung onto my scriptures and my Savior this week!

So don't forget to read the Book of Mormon. It brings POWER into your life. Strength beyond your own. (:

Love you all lots! Thank you for all the prayers and support. I never understood when people would say that, but I have so seen that power in my life!
