Well, most of you know that my year mark was last week. I celebrated it with ice-cream and chocolate milk. It was fun. So here is how I have changed with pictures. I will let you see my personality when I get home. It still has a lot to change to be the man I want to be.

In my first month in the country

a couple of weeks ago

Sremska Mitrovica

Hey everybody. If you haven't heard I am now in Sremska Mitrovica. I am in a threesome again. At the end of this transfer I would have been in a three some for half of the time that I have been in Serbia.

My Senior Companion is Elder Christianson. He is cool and is really good with the language. He is about 6ft 6 that is tall. My other companion is Elder Beaumont from Canada. He is the one of the new greenies here in Serbia, and he is full of that greenie faith. No wonder the President wants us to call them goldens instead of greenies. Sorry I have hard time charging over. We just call them Gusters anyways.

Sremska Mitrovica is a good little town, but it hasn't always been this little. Sremska Mitrovica was once one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire. In fact it was one of the four capitals. Your can still see some of the ruins here, but there aren't much since most of them where destroyed by invaders. Before it was destroyed it was the birth place of a lot of Roman Emperors. They are some of them Herennius Etruscus, Hostilianus, Decius, Claudius II. It was also a major military point for the Romans.

See you all next time.

Six Month Mark

My six month mark

Wow it is hard to think that my six month mark is here on Wednesday. Six months ago I went into the the MTC not know what was going to happen. Well, now I know and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Serbia has been a blast. Not fun all the time. In fact it has been basically hard work from the start. (Time just flies when you are having fun or you are working hard) There has been a number of experiences that I have had: meeting new people, learning a language, speaking with apostles, and many other things.

It is hard to think that a quarter of my mission is gone. A quarter hard to believe still. After calculating the time that you can do there only leaves like less than 18% of working time left. Not much is it? That is why you work hard and you don't ever give up. That is one of the exceptions to the word ever. (you know „never say never") I would put pictures but I left my camera at the stan (apartment).

The next 18 months are going to be just as fun.
