So there are some things I forgot to tell you about the last few times. About a week or so ago we showed our dropped investigator Deon (we run into him everywhere) the Because of Him video in Macedonian. He really liked it. A few days later he called and asked where he could find it online because he wanted to post it to his facebook. That is so awesome!!! Now people, IN MACEDONIA, will see the video and the church's name and realize we aren't a bunch of weirdos!!! So awesome.
One day we were headed to teach the Roma kids at the Red Cross and we ran into a group of American girls. They were from some christian organization and were in Macedonia to look for service opportunities. We were able to help them out finding contacts because we've been here for so long. Then another day we ran into them again along with some christian people from Holland who were raising awareness for something. So it was kind of funny having three different groups of christians all coincidentally in one place at the same time.
A few days before sister's conference in Tirana I decided I needed a haircut and didn't want to spend money or time on a p-day. So I cut my hair myself in the bathroom one night. It looked pretty good. I don't know how that happened.
Susana is getting baptized in about a week. We also started teaching her boyfriend. He's read the entire Book of Mormon already.
I made pumpkin bread for Ana and Gordana and Susana this week. It was fun trying to find the spices by their Macedonian names. Haha.
Last night while contacting I met a guy from Connecticut. I introduced myself as "a mormon missionary" and he said, "You guys are all over!" and that he'd "never met a woman missionary" before. He was really nice and interested in spiritual things and I talked to him for several hours. I would've been exhausted talking about church in Macedonian for that long. Makes me grateful I didn't serve English-speaking. I think it's harder.
Hope you had time to watch General Conference.
Love,
Sister Riddle
