FAMILY! fAmIlY! FaMiLy! family! FAMily! famILY!
hi! I can't really think of much that happened this week. I was on exchange with Sister Hači from Sunday night to Thursday morning. That was good. I enjoyed speaking Croatian with her. And learned some new words. Last pday we went to a park and played ultimate frisbee - it's been a while since I played (since leaving Zadar) and it was really fun. That is a good game. And we played capture the flag, too. Today we don't have any big plans.
Thursday was zone conference, our last one with President Hill! Crazy! I can't imagine serving in this mission without him, but I'll find out what that's like pretty soon because our new mission president is coming in July 1st. Weird! Zone conference was great, we did BOX B, so we already know our transfers but don't change until this next weekend. I will be staying here with Sister Creager. Just like we expected. The missionaries leaving (including two of my old companions, sis nelson and sis dillender) will go on saturday and sunday, and so I will be in a trio for 3 days with Sister Milius and SIster Creager, until Sister Milius's new companion comes! Because they cut the MTC short for the new missionaries coming in, so they'll be coming a week from this Wednesday. Which means that Sister Milius is training her second transfer! I am glad that didn't happen to me. But she'll do ok.
So I'll be finishing out my mission in ZAGREB. And like you have all mentioned, I only have one more transfer which equals approximately two months. Only two months! Holy crow. That is really really crazy for me. I'm pretty excited. Glad that I have two months left, but very excited to come home, too. Life is a crazy thing. And I love you all SOOO much! oh --
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! I'm sorry I couldn't call and that last Monday I didn't remember to say so. Daddy, you are a really really good Dad. I love you!
On Saturday we had a baptism, one of the sisters' invesitgators. Really cool. She's a lady that has translated for the church for 12 years! And she's finally a member! And she has a friend from France, Gilles Francois, who came to the baptism and gave a talk. He was her first boss for this translating job. And he had a translator for his talk, he was speaking in english, but then he read a bit from preach my gospel in Croatian about the Holy Ghost and it was the best thing ever! He totally had a French accent and hearing the Croatian... it was so so funny.
Yesterday at church President and Sister Hill gave their last talks in sacrament meeting here in Zagreb. They are so great, Sister Hill got up and said, I forgot my notes. So I hope I say something you all need to hear! So she totally did the whole talk without notes and she did a great job. And one of the member's recently had a new baby and brought him to church (not the first time I've seen the baby) and he was so cute. I just wanted to hug him and squeeze him and hold him. He was the cutest baby. And his dad came up when I was standing there at the stroller with some others,and he started singing to the baby, and he grinned and smiled and laughed. Oh so cute!
And we performed as a choir last week and now we're taking a break, so I don't get to do choir anymore. We didn't have practice or anything. They're going to start back up in September. I'm a little bummed about that.
AND I believe that is everything. Crazy how time flies. Happy Birthday to Kelsey this week! Have a good one!
I love you all! Sister Laws

Hey ps. So I got the email about my stupid nelnet student loans thing. That is really no good at all. I hate debt. Um, thanks for getting me the new password, but I can't for the life of me remember my user name. For nelnet OR for my bank account. In fact, I can't even remember the name of the credit union. All of that information flew right out of my brain from disuse. But I'm pretty sure that the security question is "Red Mountain Drive" or small letters. So if you could send me my usernames and stuff then I'll ask my mission president if I can go on and defer a little longer. Otherwise I'm not going to have any money when I come home. And I'm not sure I'd have enough money to cover it. I think I do, but I haven't seen a bank statement in a while. How much money do I have?? Am I poor? haha, just kididng. The word for password is lozinka in Croatian.
It's sad to hear that Taylor Bytheway passed away. That's really crazy to think about. Did they already have the funeral and everything? Mom, are you sending a card? I send my condolances. Moje saučešće. I think I spelt that wrong. hm.
As for a package: I don't think there's anything I need. It would be fun to get some pictures of our family, but not essential since I'll be seeing you all before I know it! And... I'm good with clothes and shoes and socks and bathroom stuff. So. yeah. I think I'm good.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY again! Love you!
