Okay so this week was so very busy dang. Low key same with last week, thus why I forgot to write an email. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Here's the sauce:
It started off pretty mellow
because all we really did was planned the remainder of the week with
people. It was funny because I would look at our schedule one day and
think to myself, "Woah, we got like nothing this week." Then I would
blink and it was overflowing.
So we had a
little mid transfer transfer and it didn't affect us much at all, really
all we had to do was help pick up some people from the bus station
which wasn't too crazy. Then we had quite a bit of lessons. To be
completely honest, nothing really crazy happened during them. Just usual
things like reading the Book of Mormon together and sharing thoughts or
continuing another section of a lesson with people. It was just tricky
because there was so many lessons so it was fun to squeeze them all in.
Outside of that, we are getting prepped to start our english classes
again in Banja Luka. So it has been a lot of that. We created a Facebook
page to start and get the word out. So we spent a good chunk of time
making that look nice and meeting with our friends at this place called
the "American Corner" to get it set up. The American Corner is basically
a place where people can come to learn more about American culture and
stuff and they hold workshops and presentations teaching STEM stuff, it
is very cool there. We are hoping to get English officially started this
next week, so we are going to do a lot with that this week.
The
weekend was a fun time! The senior couple and other missionaries came
up to Banja Luka and we had church together which was fun because
usually its just my comp (Elder Titus) and I and a few members, so it felt
like there were so many people. But while they were here we had a lot of
meetings with members because the senior missionary is the branch
president here. So it was a good time! Usually we are just there to
translate, but I am getting a lot of experience in just how a church
works and functions.
Language is coming along
day by day. Every time I think I am improving, its like I open my eyes
just a little bit more only to realize how much I do NOT know. I love
the grind though, it is a lot of fun.
Anyway I hope you all stay awesome!
