This one scares me....no mother want her son to be cold.
Team,
Sounds like a pretty cool week you all had! How often is it really that you get to shake the hand of an Apostle, huh? That's not yet happened for me, but maybe someday, huh? So this week we're in Novi Sad again with Elders Freeman and Adams (small little Adamsy world). We just had to get out of Sremska because well, it's teeny. So up in the bigish city again an loving it.
MOM. PACKAGE. LOVE. Okay, that was like way legit. We had our most recent Zone Conference this last Saturday and then I got the package filled with Christmassy stuff. I didn't know about this one's existence (unless it's one of the three?) and so just kind of tore right into it an then afterwards realized that it was for Christmas. Some of the invisible things I've saved for Christmas (which they celebrate usually here on the 25th but also on the 7th of January if they're bored or have the funds to do it again. Kind of weird. The best thing ever was that voice recorder, though! I've listened through all of the messages and a bit of the music, even got into th conference talks this morning! Thank! I'm prolly going to keep that 8gb card with me until its full but I'm excited to send the two one gig ones back and forth, if I can! It's really way too much fun for me. Basically the whole busride today I was using it just talking about the flat, icy ground. Sad, okay maybe a little.
Zone Conference was good, though. We did a lot of role-playing which was pretty fun. We ordered this Bomb cake (as always it was on the home front because we're in the middle of everything....) made out of rasberries and had pizza. It was nice.
The real news is that this week we also had our kind of Stake Conference, though we call it District Conference. The Spirit was literally like thick enough to cut with a knife as all of the Serbian members (and quite a few investigators too) came to listen to our Mission President in Beograd. There was a calling shuffle and now the old District President is going to be spending all of his time translating the Doctrine and Covenants which will be a huge blessing. President Rowe asked that all of our investigators who were there listen to us as representatives of Jesus Christ. Zlata and Milica I think really had that speak to them and now we're going to meet with them on Friday. So stoked.
We had a great lesson with Mirko an Emilija too. Somehow we went from Ammon and Aaron's different accounts of how God exists into the Restoration lesson. Spun through that and then asked them to be baptized which they didn't turn down, even if they didn't accept. I know that they feel the spirit, and this was actually the first lesson that we'd ever as a companionship pointed out to them the fact that they were feeling the Spirit. It was way cool. I love 'em both to death.
We had english class sign-ups again. We had a ton more people show up this time and so I'm pretty stoked. We're also doing a lot of individual classes with people who speak better and seeing if we can't do about half and half time spent between English and the Gospel. We'll see. These Novi Sad boys had some success with that last transfer so we'll see what we can't do! It's definitely going to keep us busy.
Friday the visibility level because of the fog was about 30.56 feet. That was nice and all, but since then the frigid air has been freezing all particles of water from that fog an leaving them all over the ground as this weird hoar frost or snow thing. Last night actually we spent part of the evening with Mama, our landlady, building a fire. We have a stove-chimney thing in our kitchen. She was telling us about how hard winter is and ladada and C. Schouten kind of agreed with her and then she looked at us and was all like, no you don't understand. Winter is HARD. She kind of looked scared.... Apparently it's no at all uncommon to have a lot of the winter be around -20 celsius. Little worried.
Finally started our visa application process. Should have them in about 10 days now.
Got Cyrillic nametags. WAY LEGIT.

Okay,so I am a week behind...sorry gang. Here is the letter from last week.
Team!
I don't know why I throw out all these weird interjections. I just feel like I need to address somebody when I type, but really I don't know who all reads these besides mom.... Ah well, here we are again. E-mail time.
This week was super busy. Last Thursday we planned everything out together for our Transfer, Month, and week really well. I hate planning, but love to have a plan so it's kind of a Catch 22 for me. Anyways, we ended up teaching a bunch of times to a bunch of different people that we've been finding over the past couple of weeks and it just all worked out in the end. We've now got 6 investigators and a bunch of other people who we're very hopeful to begin teaching very soon. The thing is is that they'd better never take me out of SM because I love the people here far too much for any of that to be happening. There are too many people that I'm so ready to begin teaching and who are so ready for the gospel that I can't even begin to describe it. So.... I won't. Just have it at that.
Last P-day recap, though. After Internet we went and walked around the city and took more pictures. We also went to what they call the Palace here. It's actually the Palace Ruins of the City of Sirmijum (once the 3rd largest city in the Roman Empire as I'm often reminded). It was way cool. For like 150 dinar we got a cool booklet that we can't read yet, a fun ticket, got to see the on-display art there and walk around and climb on ancient Roman Ruins. Pretty cool, huh? We also drank tea with Mama, taught a lady named Umija and her sister (name? I can never remember....) and had FHE with the Vucenovici. It was all pretty great.
We spent a lot of our week postering and flyering for our English class sign-up on this Thursday. The Novi Sad elders a couple of weeks ago related to us the huge success that they've been having due to individual English courses held with a bunch of people these last two months. It's going to be a whirlwind adventure, tell you what. We printed up some really big posters and put them all over the place and this time around (I think because they were bigger and more professional-looking (thank you C. Defreitas)) they didn't get torn down by the students! A lot of people actually have been saying that they have heard about the class and so that gives me a lot of hope! We'll see! We'll see. :)
We actually had a party to end our last English class which was a lot of fun. Everybody brought food and we had music and these great games and talking in English and it was a lot of fun. Love parties, you know?
We had District Meeting on Saturday. We're now the the Novi Sad - Sremska Mitrovica district. We meet every week and that is a nice boost now. It's myself, Elder Schouten, Freeman, and Adams. Yupp. Gonna be a problem. The two new guys here are Elder Adams and Elder Gibson (who committed somebody to being baptized in Beograd on his first EVER lesson - such spoiling of the children... jk) I gave the language tip about numbers and how to use them in different ways. It's fun! Sounds like it will always be Tuesdays from now on. We also have another Zone Conference this Saturday which is going to last like 8 hours. Should be pretty good information. :) Big things a'happening.
RUMA. Ruma is a town not far from Sremska where the missionaries used to live because of the high amounts of members who used to live in that town. There are now many many inactive families there and a ton of potential investigator papers. In fact, hidden in the Dungeon beneath the Beograd Church a few months ago we discovered the Ruma Files. Anyways, Thursday we spent the day there trying to find people. It went well and we had some good conversations, but we packed way too light. Winter fell on us as we waited for the bus in the evening. Dang cold. Dang cold. Anyways, not much accomplished, but we now solved the mystery about Ruma - now we can focus 100% on SM. Not to mention the MASSIVE Palacinke we had at this pizzeria there. Good day overall.
Church was great yesterday. We taught about the Restoration and I think it went really well. Next week we're having District Conference which is roughly similar to stake conference but for all the members in Serbia. Should be way legit. Pretty stoked about it. Yesterday we also walked to Lacarak (a city not too far from Sremska). We crossed over some railroad tracks and left some 20 dinar coins on them. When we came back it was pretty late and there was another train coming so we only had time to look for a little bit. Found one of them though which was pretty cool. Smashed up treasures. Didn't find the person in Lacarak, but made a friend so it was good.
The harvest moon rises almost every night as our breath visibly escapes us. We teach, we learn, we act and hopefully remember. It's not much, but I sure hope that it means something to somebody. My life is summable into a few words - palacinke, investigators, walking, excitement, study, friends, hopes, fears, hope of rain, fear of failure really. This and foreign arabic money. Love.

Gang!
Actually we do have Daylight Savings in Serbia, thank you very much! In fact, that happened last weekend, which means that we're not only 10 hours ahead of y'all (as well as hundreds of years culturally :P) but now a week! Oh, goodie! :)
In regards to Elder Gardner - AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! WHAT?! Ohmygoshthat'ssocrazycoolI'msuperexcitedforbothmembersofthatpartyandcan'tevenbelievemycrazyawesomebrainrightnowohmygoshholycrap! And all that other stuff too.... I'm so proud of Elder Gardner too, I tell you what, he really is meant for the land of cold and wet! Don't let him ever go back to nasty Arizona, if he's going to keep bringing my friends into this goodness. So cool. In fact, if it's in his jurisdiction just aim him at Morgan, and have done with it, dang it. js.
Oh, hey mama. I just want to let you know that your package made it to Serbia. That's great, right? Cool, and all and yeah, I'm a believer of the Postal System. Um.... Here's the thing: My freaking Zone Leader decided it would be a funny idea to have it within 40 feet of me at our district meeting, not give it to me (along with letters!!! >[ ), and then has the GALL to call me and tell me about it later that day. *Okay, for all of you righteous people in the audience, yes, the White Handbook says "Do not talk negatively about missionary leaders to other missionaries or members at any time"p. 56, BUT..... okay. No excuses.* Actually, he had a perfectly legitimate excuse - he was busy "sealing the deal" AKA signing and buying another apartment in Beograd with our old District Leader Elder Hansen right after our Bomb District Meeting on Friday which leads me to my next point:
MORE ELDERS IN SERBIA! That's right, gang. We're moving up in the world. We're all the way up to 8 of us here now. Transforsures (not even just Transfer Rumours) were given to us on I believe Wednesday. The new guys are coming in on either today or tomorrow, which makes me no longer the lizard (Гуштер - pronounced gooshtair), which is the way that they say "greenie" or new guy". We're getting two more into Serbia (one in Novi Sad, and another in Beograd) which means that Elders Armond and Defreitas who came out with me will be together in Beograd, and the two old Serbs will be training once more. Elder Schouten and I will be staying in Dear Sremska Mitrovica until the year is out at least, working crazy hard and baptizing tons dang it. :D Father Dearest (Elder Jacobsen) is going up to be Assistant to the President in Zagreb, and Elder Bishop is training in Karlovac! Can you believe it?! I can. He's such the perfect guy for it. Okay, I get a little goo goo for transfers but come on, it's way cool. I'm just excited to see Serbia growing again. Apparently there used to be like 30 or 40 missionaries here back in the day, though I'm pretty sure that member was exaggerating... Still. Here we go, onward and upward!
Speaking of baptizing (as is kind of important to our job here...) no we did not baptize anybody this last week. What I meant was that there is somebody in our area who has a baptismal date (now moved to Saturday the 26th of November) who has decided to take that covenant upon herself. Here name is Biljana Biberovic. She has read the book of Mormon roughly 15 times, alongside a myriad out of the Bible and the Doctrine and Covenants. She has met with missionaries for the last 15 years and actually attended Church for about 8 of those consistently but was never baptized because of an addiction to smoking and to drinking alcohol. I'm under the impression that in the last 3 or so years she has been breaking herself of that and waiting for the missionaries to find her again as they always have, I guess. She's a way nice lady and we're excited to baptize her on the 26th and confirm her on the 27th. Way excited. She also just wrote for us a list of about 10 names of her close friends who she wants us to invite to her baptism who we're probably going to teach and baptize and well, just no big deal! :) Big plans for Sremska. Big plans for Serbia.
We went to 7th Day Adventist Church on Saturday, which was pretty fun. I really agree with a lot of their teachings as basically they've got the most accurate interpretation of scripture that I've seen out of a Protestant Church. Way cool. In their kind of Sunday School deal we just broke off into little discussion groups (and I actually participated a little!) and talked about Galatians 4 an kind of the Spirit vs. the Letter of the Law idea. They brought up the two commandments that Jesus gave while he was here (Love your God, and Love your Neighbour) and how that will lead us to follow all the others. Way cool. We sang, we prayed, I felt the Spirit, it was nice. They're just missing the authority, you know. Ah well. Anyways, we were looking to use their font for our baptism because they baptize by immersion (see? Totally correct interpretations) and we'll probably talk to their preacher who was out of town on Wednesday. Anyways, way cool. One of their members is a student in our English class and is a really great lady. Like her family. Want to teach her. We'll see! :)
Okay, my Area Book addiction: I feel the need to explain. The first month and a half we kind of spent figuring out how we were going to run Sremska, what we needed to do to get the branch back to where it was (used to have 60 members here!) and small chores. Kind of boring, but very necessary. We tracted a lot, which I basically compare with WWI carpet bombing style of missionary work - expensive (time-wise) and not accurate whatsoever. There was also a lot of "contacting" done, though that's basically like Vietnam idea of "walkabout". We basically just waited to get "shot at" and that was our success.... Not a big fan. Anyways, I present unto you the heat-seeking, laser-guided missile system known as the area book. We've been basically finding anyone and everyone who used to be an investigator, or who used to be a potential, or friend or whatever and finding them again. A lot of pull-outs in Serbia have led to a lot of dropped investigators who didn't really know why they got dropped. It's been really great. We have also created the "Go Box" in the which we hold information and addresses of said people and whenever we have a little bit of time between meetings and tasks we just pull that out and go right to them. In fact, we had two lessons just last night because of that! So cool. Okay, so I'm in love with it and all, but what can I say?
Um.... What else? We just cleaned our apartment, all the leaves are falling, we've got basically the busiest week that I've ever seen as a missionary lined up (okay, not crazy, but more lessons set up than we have in a long time - like 5!) and I feel like we're just on the brink. It's so cool. Oh, I love to be a missionary. For your consideration, Alma 31: 5 which reads,
"... as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just - yea, it had hadmore powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them - therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God."
Been trying this one out. Just doctrine. I believe that the knowledge of who we really are and what we need to do really will change and shape people. Really. Compare this with the quote by President Packer in PMG on p. 19 which says,
"The Study of the doctines of the gospel will improve behaviour quicker than a study of behaviour will improve behaviour."
So that's all for now, folks. Except below I've written out the "Our Purpose" in Serbian for your enjoyment. It reads in English: Our purpose as missionaries is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them to receive the Restored Gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving of the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. Much easier for me in Serbian at this point. Cool, that.
Love you all! Pozdrav!
