My year mark in the country

Well, sorry that I didn't do this earlier around my year mark in the country, but I didn't have time to do that. Since I have been here in Serbia and Croatia there has been some weird things that have happened to me. I think that I will start off with the ones that happened first and do them in that order.

First was the week that My trainer, my other companion, and I had to stay in for a week. By the way that is coming up again. We had to stay in for the fact that it was the ten year anniversary of the USA bombing Serbia and there were a lot of stuff going on that week. I hated being in that apartment for that long. You get cabin fever real fast. I don't know if we will have to stay in this year but we most likely will have to. That sucks. Second thing was when my name tags were stolen by a huge dude. That was with Elder Singer (the other companion that I had during the first deal) when we went contacting. The guy was not a nice guy he told us to leave or he would kill us. Then he just came up and took the name tags. I don't know what he was going to do with them. The third one didn't happen for a while after that one. It was the University Olympics. They were really fun and we got to see a lot of people from all over the world. If you didn't know the missionaries in Serbia got in the church news for that one. The fourth one was in a small town of Sremska Mitrovica. It was my second area that I have served in on my mission. I was with Elder Christianson and Beaumont. My pen was stolen and the guy threatened to kill us. He wanted to hang us by our ties and leaves us there. For some reason I got a lot of that at nights. Night time is not a good time to be out. The fifth thing was that I was being sent to Croatia. The whole Croatian experience was a weird one. How many people can say that they served in two countries on their missions, and then return to the one that they started out in. I even got to touch the sea during this experience.

Those are the big ones for me it has been a very interesting year. I don't know if this next one will top it. We do have a baptism coming up so that might put it over this other one.

I have also learned a lot about myself and those that want to know they are just going to have to wait until I get home. By then I will have changed even more I guarantee that. So, that has been the big factors for my in my mission. I have now served in three areas and returned to my first one. Until next time have fun! I will be have some.
