Alright this week covers October 3rd - 9th and this one was AMAZINGGGGGGG. WOOOOOOOO!
- on pday all of the missionaries gathered in Maribor and it was such a blast!!!
Us in Maribor wooo
- we ate at Jack and Joe's which is a heavenly burger place you can see the picture below and then we got lastovka (best ice cream place in slovenia) and hung out
- on Tuesday we met with a new guy! I also forgot to tell this in my last email but last week Sestra Hancock posted in an expat group looking for service activities and this one lady commented calling us a cult and that we were racist and a bunch of other nasty things. well what was intended to be a chance for us to find ways to serve ended up starting a facebook war in the comments. There were literally over 50 comments from both sides just going hard at each other. It was a little overwhelming ngl but because of that post, I got a message from this guy saying, hey I saw your post and I want to talk and find out more about your beliefs. UMMMMMMM WHAT?!?!?!?! We also got a bunch of other messages from people in our support so that was super nice. Anyways so we met with him today and it just went so well. We were able to get him a Book of Mormon and start a really good conversation. We have plans to meet up more so WOOOOOOOO!!!!!
- The next day all of the missionaries minus the Celje sisters (sorry) went and helped out a less active member cleared some land so he could start building his house. This ended up taking up nearly all say but it was fine because we were pulling out a bunch of bushes, weeds, destroying sheds, and then built a big bonfire. 10/10 would do again. Then he made us his homemade pizza because he is a whole literally chef?!?! and wow that was just mwah amazing
The sisters taking a break from ripping out bushes
Beautiful Kranj
Also beautiful Kranj but countryside version
We went to go deliver a book of mormon to a girl who requested it - she also has a cool story but i'll tell it later. While there we just decided to meet up with two other people. One of them was a woman who lived in Celje when I was there! She is Milka's daughter!!!! She is also the one that had the two cats and it was a miracle that we got back into touch with her. Well yes she moved to Kranj now and we were able to meet up with her and just chat. She is still awesome. After that, we went and visited another old lady that lived in a retirement home. She was the sweetest old lady in the world and I couldn't understand a lot but she didn't care she was just so happy to have visitors. She gave us a whole big bag of cranberries and then a squash and a tiny pumpkin that was on her table all because I said they were cute. :,) im crying. Such a sweet soul. Before we caught our bus home we went and got a kebap but it was called a doner (what they are calle din bulgaria and a couple other places) so that is how you know it is good and man it was really really really good. I ate the whole thing and man it was lovely.
The best kebap I have ever had in my entire life
- the next day we went whiteboarding in the park with elder kjeldson and elder owen. That was super fun. We asked people what they were thankful for and it went pretty good not gonna lie!! I really liked it. We were able to talk to a couple people from different countries. Sestra Hancock was able to speak to one lady in Russian which was so cool to see!!
Whiteboarding!! We asked "What are you thankful for?"
But yeah the baptismal service was just so amazing and the entire building was just filled to the brim with the spirit. A good amount of people came to support which made it even better. Later that evening Sestra Williams and all of the sisters (yes including the Celje sisters this time hahahah) hosted a polynesian dance activity! Sestra Williams was able to show off her culture and a good amount of people showed up! Ngl polynesian dancing is pretty hard but so so so fun!!!
- This sunday was fast sunday which is always just so amazing and filled with the spirit. before church a man and his wife walked in that were visiting from america. They were doing a tour of all of the countries in Europe. However the man had not been able to play the piano since they started this trip months ago so he asked if he could use it. The other sisters and I just sat in the room and listened to him play for about 20 minutes and it was just so beautiful. He sung as he played and wow it was just such a tender and spiritual moment. I am forever amazed by those who know how to play and instrument because music speaks to the soul. 
Dinner with everyone to break our fast on Sunday
