Day of the Dead Celebration

 October 31, 2020

Okej howdy ljudi Americe! 

This week was pretty fun! We finished the MTC which was kinda sad, but we found out transfers! Getting our transfers feels like a whole new mission call because it's a different country with a different religion and different dialects. My first transfer I'm going to Sarajevo Bosnia!! I'm so stoked! My trainer seems like a stud. Its only him, me and two other sisters in all of Bosnia so we will be able to go anywhere throughout it. 

We did a little celebration for Halloween but the cool thing here was the Day of the Dead. It is the day after Halloween and we went to this cemetery where they have candles everywhere. People come from all over and place candles on the graves. It's very sad because there is a section that is marked with a giant cross on top of a stack of bullets to show graves from the war. It was so sad to see how many there were.  But it is awesome to see how the people pay their respects and honor all who have passed on. Also we got to see Krešmir Čosić's (BYU basketball star and Yugoslavian National player) grave and put candles there. 

Church was super cool, I wasn't able to understand everything but I could really feel the passion between each member's testimony. I love how universal the gospel is. Also I have to give a talk in church in Bosnia already next Sunday so that will be fun to try. 

That's about all, if you have questions send em here!
