This week we did a lot of member work. We made lots of chocolate chip cookies and delivered those to all the members in our area with the Amos 3:7 scripture and an invite to watch General Conference. Sister Mahilović was so grateful we brought them those. She says that no one has ever brought her family something before. Glad we could bring a smile (: Then we found a less active member who we had called tons! She let us in and we had a great discussion on relying on the Lord. Hopefully she will see the necessity of coming to church!
I got my birthday packages!! You are the best ever mom! Thanks for the new clothes! I am now set for life! (Life as a missionary)
I did a whole week without sugar! Which was really hard- but wahooooo(: Now I need to do a whole week without breads..
Tuesday nights we have game nights here in the Belgrade branch! So every Tuesday we play lots of uno or ping pong and foosball(: My uno skills are improving & hopefully my ping pong as well!
Friday we ate at Petars house! We ate sarma and potatoes! It was so yummy! He is the branch mission coordinator and so we had our meeting first, then the yummy food second! We drove there with the sisters and had a really fun jam session to efy music!
Today we hiked Fruška Gora(: We did it as a zone and it was so fun to see the other missionaries and talk and hike together! The leaves were all pretty green still, but there were some parts with brown leaves! We hiked to a statue of a women representing freedom or something. So that was a fun adventure!
We are moving apartments on Wednesday hopefully! It is the worst packing everything from a missionary apartment and moving it! It isn't far from our current apartment, which is really nice, but packing is the worst! Lots of cleaning too.. which is hard because we dont have much time... It is hard to balance all the moving, packing, cleaning, missionary work, etc . I hate feeling like I'm wasting the Lord's time and moving is important- but while we are moving I feel like I'm wasting time! Honestly I hate all the logistical stuff of missionary work. Like moving, visa work, travel times, etc. I just want to be out on the street taking to as many people as possible! Just get me out to people! But this week is hard bc we have to move and blah blah blah... but we will squeeze in time to find in between all the chaos!
Fun Facts-
I have to find time to write a talk for Sunday.. It is on members helping the missionaries in this awesome work!
I need to find time to practice the piano.. How do I learn Bach in only my meal times..
This gospel is so cool!
The Apostles and Prophet are the best!
General Conference was so uplifting! I cried through many talks because it was exactly what I needed to hear! One of my favorite quotes was "Today is the day to follow Jesus Christ". It's not tomorrow, it's not wait when I get 5 minutes- it is today! I think conference really focused on doing the spiritual work and growing individually. We each need to grow our own testimonies and do everything necessary to focus on the important things in life. Eternal Life is worth more than anything on this earth. I love that we work together as families to get there! So hey family, what can we do to improve and become more celestial? What can we do to grow together and focus more on what really matters??
I miss you all! My heart is full of so much love for you all! Thanks for your prayers. I need them. And I am always praying for you all! Have a great week!
