Well this week had its ups and downs as always but in the end it wasn't too bad. First up we had a pretty chilled out Pday just emailing, relaxing, played a few card games then went to McDonalds for some food!
On the Tuesday we had 2 lessons booked in! Busy day! I couldn't imagine having 20 investigators to juggle all the lessons during the day, we had two and it was chaos. The first one was with a lady we met the week before and was crying pretty much the whole time and telling us about her husband who has cancer and how the markets wont even give her 2 apples and the bakeries wont give her free bread... at the end she just said she needed warm words so we decided to meet with her on the Tuesday, once we got there it was pretty much just 45 minutes of her and her husband talking at us and telling us that we are not good enough people because we don't give ect.. complete waste of time. We had another lesson booked after English class with someone we have been teaching the last couple of weeks, he has come to church about 4-5 times in a row now! he is doing really good although he said in his plan of salvation lesson that he wants to take it slow and that its hard to give up something he has always believed in (The catholic church) he was actually born and raised till 7 years old in Switzerland and knows German, English and Croatian, he has been through a really rough life though.
The rest of the week was just pretty normal stuff, contacting and tracting ect... We had someone from the district presidency come down and visit and the week before we had some people from Zagreb come down. I also have forgot to mention in previous emails that I am the Branch Piano Player! I know its hard to believe but you should really see me go I had the office ladies from Zagreb fooled! They told me that they didn't think I played piano and they are right I don't, but on all of the piano's here in this mission they all have a tap function so as long as you tap the key on time which can be hard at times, the rest will be done!
It has been a pretty slow start to the transfer but its okay, my goal is to find someone who we can actually teach on a regular basis ect.. we are also organising a cultural night to try and get some members to bring friends and to invite investigators. So if I can find some good sausages I'll make snags on the barbie in bread!
But yeah that was pretty much my week this week, I'm looking forward to the next one as always, I really think we can find someone new just have to keep praying and looking for that golden one!
I also found out that the only place you can buy golden gay time ice creams are in Australia! I then realised how much I miss them....
