My new companion's name is elder Roberts he is from utah and yeah he is kind of awkward but he is ok.
Hey it doesn't look like it will be snowing on Christmas day. It is like icy fog.

We have a lot of potentials... I guess we will see though, it will probably be hard to meet up with Christmas around ect.. The investigator we were working with is still in a coma but we cant visit him only family can right now​.

This week i went to Zagreb for a conference and we went to the big cathederal. It was fun.

Me and Parko

Look at that moon!!! Awesome

I'm in Zagreb

We have had a lot of trouble with our internet services lately so I will give you information about what Elder Winfield has been up to.

He is is good spirits and ready to bring on Christmas. Elder Winfield says that there is only 8 more fast Sunday's until he comes home.
He only had one week with his greeny left in Serbia before he was transferred back to Varazdin.
He said 'I loved seeing him grow really fast. Training is the best. I loved it because you get to do the work right as you know they're watching your every step.'
'We had a potential investigator who was pretty big but he got really sick and just came out of a coma and we have to wait to teach him now.'

Hey everyone! this week was pretty crazy. Lots of weird things happened but that's how I mission is I guess. It was all really normal until Thursday at 4pm where I got a call that I'll be leaving Sremska Mitrovica at 4am on Friday so I was pretty mad at first because I didn't really have a chance to say goodbye to any of the members, they are all so great there! I hope that I will be able to return. 

I'm now here in Varazdin at the moment though, I'm back where i was about 8 weeks ago, not too much has changed apart from the fact that it is a lot lot colder! It is constantly 2 degrees or lower, its crazy! It was cool to see all my friends and members here on Sunday and I'm looking forward to working again here as I love everyone here! :) 

​I also had my birthday and received your package the day before my birthday which I thank you for mum and dad :) love the Richmond socks! and all the old photos are pretty funny, man I was a crazy kid. ​

I also had the privilege to attend a baptism of someone I taught a while in Zadar. It was so awesome to see the change from when I first met him and to his baptism. It was huge and the spirit was really strong, I enjoyed being able to see some success, it was for sure a miracle I don't think a man like that with his attitude could of changed without the power of God :) 

Apart from those two big things happening not much is too different, I'll be back to work and normal life, I'm looking forward to Christmas and skyping home! It has been a while so it will be good to see everyone's faces!

Shoutout to Kai before he heads out I wish him the best of luck! It will be hard but the most rewarding thing you will ever do!

I hope you are all doing well at home I miss you all a lot!

Hey sorry I couldn't email I was with Ross and all that showing them around and we had lunch at a members house! It was great to see them all I was really surprised when they showed up I was like what the heck! haha it was great though. I'm very grateful that they came, it meant a lot to see them! I think they enjoyed it over here in Sremska as well! I hope you guys are doing well, Liam and Faith will be in my prayers! I hope that they are okay.

This week was pretty good, we had 4 lessons lined up with all of them canceling which was annoying, but its okay we will keep working! :)

Tuesday we had the aps and zone leaders stay at our place so that they could take us to the conference the next day which was fun, most of them are going home! Man its strange how the time flies! 

On Wednesday we went to Beograd to a zone conference, we had President Johnson come down which was great, I enjoyed it and learnt a lot from it which I can now take into my work which will be good. 

Most of the rest of the week I really cant remember! haha but on Sunday when I was just kind of standing there doing something! I looked up and saw Ross and his family and I was like nooooooo wayyyyyyy haha it was great to see them, they seem like they are really enjoying going around and experiencing different cultures ect.. What else can I say! We went over and had a lovely dinner prepared by Skyler, it was great asian food, I haven't had that in a while which was lovely, we then showed them a little around Sremska and had lunch which was amazing, I just saw them off as they head on to Beograd! They will enjoy it there.  Apart from that the week was really quite normal, nothing to crazy went on, I'm looking forward to the next week with lots to do, we have a lesson with a big potential so I hope that it goes through well!

I love you all and hope you are doing great, good luck to Liam at the temple! I'm pumped for ya! Thank you for all your support at home, grats to mum with the new calling! have fun waking up :P we will speak next week :)

I stopped doing a big email because i would do the same things daily really... it was hard to find things to write about.

There isn't much service to do, all the members live in apartment buildings and people here don't want service.

There is one family here who has fed us a couple of times, they are super awesome! 

It's kind of a small little sad town, below this whole town is roman ruins though which is cool, he is doing good! slowly but surely.

We are going bowling with some of the youth here which will be fun! 

It sounds like a lot of sad tears when Kai left.

Give Liam my best for that! hopefully he will get his licence!

It was a good week, lots of hard work, we have a lot of potentials!  I guess we will see this week.. 

yeah.. i hope i stay in Serbia. - i guess we will see! 

I'm not sure whether I will be able to go the the baptism in Zagreb yet we will probably see sometime this week.

hey! how is it going, say happy birthday to Rachy for me.

Some good news is a person who I started teaching and taught for 7 months in Zadar is now on baptismal date, I'm super excited about that!His name is Mladen.
All the baptismal dates are posted every week and his is on there! Unfortunately he had to leave and move for about 3 months about a month before I left which stopped things and then he came back and they got in contact and now he is getting baptised which is awesome, I might be able to get permission to go I guess we will see though.

Transfers will be the week before Christmas.

This week was fun though we went to Beograd on Thursday for Return and Reports where all the trainers and trainees gather and we just report on how things are going and the greenies have to teach a 5 minute lesson by themselves, they all are so nervous, I remember I was the same when I was a greeny! This week is thanks giving for americans so I get to have 3 hours off which is fun I guess... not even a holiday I celebrate but ill take it!
The senior couple of great here.

We are finding people to teach, it's just hard to get them on lessons when they bail out! I know it will all be fine though!

Today I have to do some tithing with the Branch President but that's all I am doing for pday.

We have a lesson organised for Tuesday so yeah but I'm not sure how promising it is! I guess we will see.

It should be good skyping, make sure everything works! :P it will be weird skyping when Liam is on his mission, I have no idea how we will do it.

Today I think we are going to go around and get some good food.

I feel bad for missing you guys to much because I'm not meant to I guess right? haha but I do!
