Heeelllooooooooooooo!!! How is everyone? Thungs are lovely over here in the land of Slovenia (here's my monthly reminder that I am not in Slovakia haha). This week was another fun one - it was soooo nice and sunny outside so we spent every minute we could soaking up the sun.
Some highlightssss
- one of the charity/organizations we work with had a cooking activity where we all got together and made a yummy chicken pasta and dessert. That was super fun and it was cool to hangout with them. Since both Sestra Stutzman and I are new, it was a good chance to introduce ourselves and what we do here. We were able to answer a lot of gospel questions which was fire.
- we are still doing a lot of english classes for Ukrainian kids, adults, and Slovene adults. It has been going pretty good. We taught some of the Ukrainian kids all of the different ways to say hello and goodbye (ex. What's poppin? What up? Peace out! Aight imma dip! Etc) so funny.

- we went and worked on a farm for like 5 hours. It was so much fun and it seems like we are going to go at least once a week to help. This is the coolest family ever and it is just so cool because we can also talk to them about the gospel. I got the most wicked sunburn but then I tried the old balkan trick where you put plain yogurt on the burn and after a bit it wasn't red anymore! Crazy, huh? But hey! It worked! And it was so good to do some physical service

With the farm gang again
- we had a branch picnic which was super sweet. A couple people came and so we just chilled and chatted for a bit. The branch president's wife told us how they met and their love story which was super entertaining 
I love them so much.

Game night getting intense

Lunch @ the Wilkersons
- we also got to go down to Ljubljana really fast to go to one of the younger kids' baptism. It was super sweet to see all of the members again. Haha I keep seeing them and so it's funny because they keep saying, "wait why are you here I thought you moved to Celje?" Haha what can ya do?
- On Sunday it was super precious to be back. I had forgotten how small it was and how many things depended on us. It was interesting to just be reminded of that but also cool to see everyone who came. There were some intense deja vu moments going on when the wifi connection with Maribor cut out haha. Good to see that not much has changed with the bad wifi.
