me and Sister Creager at the baptism in Zagreb, with president's youngest daughters (6 years old and twins. they really like us)
the đakovo cathedral, that's where we went last week for pday
I would stay on my mission just for pdays and getting emails from everyone! It is so great to hear from people!
I found out today that one of my old companions, Sister Nelson, is ENGAGED! She got home.. the fourth of July. So she's one of those fast-movers, too. BUT her and her man have been writing letters to each other for 3 years (his mission, and then hers) so she deserves to be married. She's so great and they are perfect together. Cool cool.
If only pdays lasted the rest of our lives!
So my dear family, how are you all?? I know that you're great, because I got emails from all of you. You're being so faithful at the end of my mission! Thank you so much!
My week was good. English classes started. Tuesday was a good class, more people showed up than I was expecting and then THURSDAY we had more people show up, because they'd heard about it from otehr people. So that is really great and it should be a great class, really fun. Some younger kids are coming and they are great because they automatically love good people, so they automatically love us. haha. We assign "homework" at the end, and one of the girls finished her homework before she left, and one of her sentences was "Sister Creager and Laws are nice." it was really cute. She's 12 but she looks 9 or 10 to me.
We had a lesson with one of the members here, she's active but we just met up with her. And she is Hungarian! She has a Hungarian book of Mormon that she brings to church. It's cool-looking. AND we had a lesson with another member, her son is a member but her husband isn't. We went over to her house and had like "family home evening" and her husband sat in on the lesson and her son's friend that was over sat in, it was a fun lesson. And THEN her husband came to the fireside that we had yesterday! woohoo!
The fireside was good, President Rowe came, it's the first time he's visited Osijek so all the members were happy to meet him.
Ooh, I bought a CD. It's from a band called 2cellos - you've probably all already heard about that because I guess they were a youtube hit. But we happened to see a commercial for them on tv at a restaurant one time, and they look cool. So I bought a cd. They are jamming celloists. Oh, but I haven't listened to the CD or anything, that sounds like I have. haha. They did more pop music I think. So I'm excited to actually listen to my cd when I get home.
It's been rainy the last couple of days. I love rain. And it makes everything cooler which is better, it was pretty hot the week before. Osijek is cool, it has a lot of parks and it's right next to the river, and it has a cool bridge. We ate lunch one day on a restaurant that's a boat on the river. It had mexican food, haha. and it was pretty good Mexican food, too. It's kinda funny, because it seems like a lot of people in Croatia are interested in Mexico, because they have these Mexican soap operas that everyone watches, and whenever someone does a Spanish class lots of people come. So now they're moving on to loving the food, I guess.
AND that is basically everything I did this week.
Kelsey - that NF1 walk sounds cool, I am in. GO OLIVIA'S TEAM!!!
Amelia: good luck with the move! and have fun in your new house, I like making new spaces homey.
everyone: I LOVE YOU!
Čut ćemo se!
i vidimo se za ŠEST TJEDANA!!
potpuno ludilo!
Sestra Laws
