Okay so, first thing is we got someone on a baptismal date! He is from Egypt and has an incredible story of coming to Christ. He has had to flee his home for have a Christian faith which is like very much not allowed where he is from (and he has been deported and illegally arrested and tortured multiple times). He has been getting taught again by the senior missionary and we kinda just came in at the end and assigned a date and now we will teach him until his baptism.
Next big thing is we had transfer announcements. So the next transfer I am going to be going to Banja Luka and reopening it as an area. Plus I am training! So that will be a ton of fun. I am still pretty nervous but I'm sure we will survive hahah. I am going to be District Leader and 2nd counselor in the Branch Presidency there too but to be honest that doesn't really mean anything different or special. Its just going to be super weird not having someone to lean on for language and stuff now, but its gonna be a very quick way to learn hahah!
Last we went to Mostar and what a beautiful city! I'll send pictures of it but a little fun thing about it: its known for the bridge in it which in Bosnian to say bridge is "most", so it's literally in the name. But its cool because on one side of the bridge is mainly Islamic stuff like mosques and such and on the other side its a lot of Christian and some Orthodox stuff too. So its a cool clash of cultures!
Anyway I hope y'all are doing awesome!
