Baptism!

Woah this week was so fun! So the beginning of the week was us cramming a weeks worth of stuff in a few days. We were able to go to a selo with one of the members which is basically like a village kind of thing. It was so beautiful and he has a way cool home! We were helping him set up his camera to join on zoom and stuff. He was inactive and just recently started to come back and wants to overcome addictions and such and its amazing being able to work with him. He is so cool. We also got to see the president of Serbia too! That was a very coincidental run-in hahah, but very cool experience!

Outside of that, we came to Sarajevo for Davids baptism! It was so cool, it was just him and the missionaries in person and a bunch of people joined online. I conducted the meeting which was fun and such a cool experience. He has such a strong testimony of Christ and his story of finding Christ is incredible. I am so happy for him and hearing him explain how he got to where he is now was such a cool experience.

But preparing for the baptism was also so fun. We had to assemble the font then sleep at the church to supervise it while it was filled. It has been such a fun time to be with the missionaries here, they are both such studs. 

After the baptism we had a 1 meter long palačinke (like a crepe) and it was so delicious.

Today we went to Srebrenica. It is a area in Bosnia where over 8000 Muslims were killed in a warehouse. They have a memorial there and it really puts life into perspective. While here, we got to visit a widow whos husband and sons were killed in Srebrenica. She was so sweet and kind. It is very devastating to be where the event happened but it helps me to appreciate life. I am learning so much about these wonderful people and the examples they are to me.
