Week 52 - I love dogs 🐕 ❤️

Hello hello everyone and welcome back!!!!! This week was a good one! We did a lot of calling through old records and had some pretty fire visits and miracles!!

Highlights:

- On monday we had a lot of pday fun with everyone - most of the missionaries came down to Ljubljana and we all hung out and played games outside the whole time

- One really cool thing is the mother of the boy that we teach english to asked us if we could bring the Book of Mormon for kids and read that with him. That was so so so so so cool because starting this week, we read a story from the Book of Mormon and then acted it out which was so fun. They are just amazing people and it was so cool to start sharing the true stories from the Book of Mormon with them. 

- Another amazing visit was with Tina. I have talked about her before in past emails. She is the one that has the two dogs that are the craziest, funniest, sweetest, and most adorable dogs in the entire world. Well we went and visited them again with the other sisters and it was just so so so amazing. They are the sweetest people ever. They kept making us their fancy tea and bringing us things to eat.

We got on the wrong bus and it took us to an area we have never been in before but it's okay cuz it was fun 

- Ooo Thursday was also really fun. One of our members needed help with moving so he asked the missionaries to go up to Kranj really early in the morning and help bring things out of the apartment and outside and then out of the apartment down to the basement. It was so good to serve and help them. We actually ended up staying in Kranj to visit Stanka who is such a funny and spicy grandma. Sometimes she just says things and you have no clue how to respond. I love her. She is my buddy. :,)

- We were able to meet with Natalija this week which was so good. She made us palačinke and we read 3 Nephi 14:7-8 together. If you haven't read this before or at least not in a long time give it a good read. It is fire and SO true. 

- We also brought breakfast to one of our members which was so fun. We made pancake batter and my homemade almond syrup - soooooo good

Sorry this is kind of a shorter email!

As most of you remember, me and my companion are in charge of our country's social media page Pridite H Kristusu (go check it out it is really cool). And so often we need to write captions and make posts for the page. This next week, we are going to be focusing on forgiveness and one of the questions that I chose to answer was How Do We Know When We Have Been Forgiven? I have been doing a lot of pondering and studying to answer this question and I felt prompted to include it in my email. Essentially we do not feel we have been forgiven of our sins, because we still feel guilt and shame from our actions. Christ has taught that when we repent He will "remember our sins no more". He will take our guilt, our fears, and our shame and replace it with joy, peace, and a fresh start. Because of the Atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we can be comforted and know that God will ultimately judge us by what we have become, and not by what we were. We can know we have been forgiven by the feelings of peace and joy through the Holy Ghost. 

The best dogs ever - this picture is such an accurate representation of how they are
