Среќен Велиден (Happy Easter)
Elder Krajnc took off to Kosovo on Tuesday! He and Elder
Prince drove up there, while Elder Chingas and I were together handling Skopje
on our own. We had a lesson with a guy names Sasho on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We were using the pamphlet for it to help us teach, and even before he read
anything, he already knew EVERYTHING. It was super cool. We asked him a few
questions, and he literally took the words right out of our mouths of what we
would say to answer it. He always talks about how good he feels whenever he
meets with us, that all the problems in the world just seem to disappear. He's
such a cool guy, it's a miracle to see someone to be that receptive to the Holy
Ghost here. He's definitely a prepared one!
After the lesson, we contacted a bit and went in for dinner.
We were there when the other Elders returned...with Elder Krajnc. It turned out
there was a landslide that blocked the road, so after some calls to President Weidmann
and some waiting, they decided it would be best to just try again the next day.
We said goodbye to Elder Krajnc again the next day, and then Elder Prince came
back with Elder Gierisch. Elders Gierisch and Prince are back in Macedonia for
good, so either Elder Chingas or I will probably get moved out when Elder Lessi
finally gets here!
We got some new posters and cards to contact with for the
Because He Lives initiative, which has been helping a lot! And we were just
about to run out of our cards, so the timing of it was perfect. We're excited
to change our contacting up a bit!
We had a branch activity on Saturday and Sunday for
conference this weekend. I still can't get over how good conference is as a
missionary. We watched the morning sessions for both days live at 6 here. The
big theme on the family was very apparent. It's cool to see that, since each
speaker doesn't know what the other will speak about, how so often they are all
related and tie in together perfectly. The Lord was trying to get a message
across to us there! An investigator showed up who was partying before the
conference, so he was pretty far gone for the whole thing. We were walking him
to the bus afterwards, and he was talking about how today changed his life
forever. It was pretty funny to see, but hopefully he'll remember something
about it!
There's been no new news about the building getting signed,
so the chances keep getting slimmer and slimmer of us getting one. But it'll
come sometime in the future, so it's all good :)
That's it for this week. I hope all ya'll had a great
Easter!! We get the double holiday again, with Orthodox Easter being on the
11th, so be jealous.
