week 6

Family:

I only have 1 more p-day at the mtc! crazy. This week has been good. I got a new companion on wednesday. She's going to Bulgaria like sister meyers. She's about 5'1" and she has curly brown hair. She's way cute. I like her very much. Her name is CECTPA Tate. She's in LA today doing visa stuff with the elders in her district. She left at 4 in the morning and she'll get home tonight. I also have 2 new roommates who will be serving in Arizona.

Oh, I forgot to say last week, but I'm coordinating sister for my zone now. That means I make sure the sisters in my zone are doing well and that they're keeping the rules. My zone has 4 sisters serving english missions, and sister Izatt and me. We have 4 more english sisters coming in on wednesday, one from new zealand. so now sister Izatt is the music coordinator for our zone so i don't have to do both jobs.

At TRC this week we had 2 serbians: Alit and Nikola, so that was pretty cool. We talked about receiving revelation through church attendance, and we challenged the volunteers to write down questions or what they wanted to learn this sunday before going to church. I would recommend that to everyone reading this too. I have found that whenever I specifically am listening for how I can better help my investigators come unto Christ, or if I have questions I want answered and I'm listening for answers, I always get a lot more out of the church service than when I don't.

This sunday we heard from the general primary president, Rosemary Wixom. it was pretty cool. I got to talk to her for a minute afterwards and she told me to love the children of Croatia. I already planned on doing that.

President Samuelson, the president of BYU, came to speak last tuesday. it sort of felt like I was getting the back to school devotional once again. It's weird to think that they'll be starting in just 2 weeks or so, but I won't be going there. This will be my first year without marching band for 7-8 yrs, and my first year without being in school for over 15 yrs. weird.

I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week. Ja znam da Bog voli vas i ako slijedite Isusa Krista, Bog će blagosloviti vas da ćete imati radost i mir.
God loves you! never forget that. Be diligent in reading the Book of Mormon. I know that following the counsel in that book will bring you closer to Christ than anything else.

Love,
Sestra Black
