Hello everyone! So since the last email, transfers have happened!! So
originally I was put in a place called čačak Serbia, which is this small
town in Southern Serbia. I was a little worried going to it especially
from Zagreb because I have been crazy busy for the past 6 months and
it's been sooo much fun! Being busy on the mission is the best. So
it would be going from super busy to a lot less busy, so a bit more
slower days. Preparing to leave I
was saying goodbye to all the people I met in Zagreb and it was really
sad ;( I have known so many of them for quite some time now. Some of
them gave me gifts. Things like a book with Buddhist short stories in Croatian, Croatian phrases, a shirt with my name on it, treats,
souvenirs, and so on.
While
this was all going on, I had a pain in my knee that's been there for
about 4 weeks, so I went and got it checked out. We were worried it was
going to be something with the meniscus but we are all good, and an MRI
showed that it wasn't the meniscus but just some other tendon was inflamed. But because of that I have to stay in Zagreb for a
couple more days.
The
last Sunday was awesome. We had so many people come to say goodbye to
me, and an old companion Elder Peterson because he was going home. We
had like 15 new people at church. People from čisteći medvjedići, others
service groups, our three friends from Kosovo, and a ton of
Investigators/friends. I love all the people I have met on my mission.
What
ended up happening with transfers though was that we had some
Ukrainian missionaries in Croatia, some were requested from the first
presidency to move to areas where there are Ukrainian refugees to help
them out. So a couple left Croatia and a slot needed to be filled in
Zadar and President Field said for me to go!! So now I am in Zadar
(coastal city) and it is soooo BEAUTIFUL. I cannot believe this place,
plus the people and members are awesome here. Today we were just in a Croatian tie shop and talking with the lady there and we talked for about
2 hours about life, Christ, religion, and everything. It
has be tons of fun so far.
Something
kind of fun, I am working on the Ukulele again which has been good.
It's been in hibernation for a bit so it's nice to bust it out now, so
if you have any good song recommendations to learn please send them my
way!!
Also my new companion is Elder Larson!! Very cool guy here, he on his second transfer and it's been a ton of fun so far!
I also forgot to mention we were in Zagreb for the light festival which
was cool, they just had these cool light shows all over the city.
