Hello Family & Friends This week we got smart phones!!
We have already seen the blessings of Facebook and teaching people through the different resources.
So if you want to follow me on Facebook- look me up! I have no idea how to work it hehe, but will learn!
We had Zone Conference this week in Zagreb. It's always so fun to be with other missionaries
and hear about the work in other parks of Croatia!
and hear about the work in other parks of Croatia!
My Croatian is coming along! Little by little I am learning Croatian and mostly patience with myself.
Sometimes I really understand what is happening and sometimes I am completely lost.
But the worst is when I think I understand (but really don't) then comment on it..... Like yesterday!!
We were talking to a couple on the street and asking them what they studied in school.
The girl responded and talked a little about her studies.
Then her boyfriend responded and I thought he said "I finished school".
So I respond with "Oh that's great!" But come to find out- he said "I was in prison."
So... After I realized what he actually said I apologized and we all got a laugh out of my language skills....
Heaven help me. hahahah! (:

I read a talk this week by Elder Rasband titled- "Be Not Troubled". It really lifted my spirits and reminded
me to replace any fear with faith. Replace any fear with LOVE. I love this quote:
me to replace any fear with faith. Replace any fear with LOVE. I love this quote:
"If we actively trust in the Lord and His ways, if we are engaged in His work,
we will not fear the trends of the world or be troubled by them.
I plead with you to set aside worldly influences and pressures and seek spirituality
in your daily life. Love what the Lord loves—which includes His commandments,
His holy houses, our sacred covenants with Him, the sacrament each Sabbath day,
our communication through prayer—and you will not be troubled."

If we actively trust in God, and love what He loves- all will work out. I know that I am the happiest when I work hard
and love the people. It's all about love!
and love the people. It's all about love!
I'm so grateful for all the people in my life who love and support me.
I'm so grateful for the Savior and His hand in my daily life.

LOVE IS THE KEY(: Love you all!
