Od Nitry

It has almost been exactly 6 months since I have been away from home and on a mission... can you believe that!? It's so weird how quickly the time has gone by. 1/4 (plus one more month since Slovak missionaries stay a little longer) of this fantastic experience is already put away in my journal. When I look back it just seems like one, big, exhausting, and rewarding day. I say "day" because it feels like yesterday when I was dropped off at the MTC.

One more week and I might be leaving Nitra to go to another city. This week is the last week of the transfer and there is a good chance of me leaving since I've been here for 4 months already. I don't want to leave because I love these members so much but it would be exciting to see a new part of Slovakia. There are goods and sads to both situations. I will be happy with either outcome though :). Later today we will be going on a tour with our new Branch President at the Nitriansky Hrad (the caslte). I've been there once but President Gritti knows everything about the place... so it will be 10x cooler.

This past week was really successful. We taught A LOT of lessons to people here in Nitra and hours away. The fruits of our labor is that we have some great people that are progressing and one new baptismal date! The baptismal date is March 1 for a man named Mario that we found through our English class. He's very cool and has been excited to meet with us. We have another meeting with him today to review the Plan of Salvaton with him and to discuss with him more about how we will help him reach his goal.

... one day I will send more photos.

Love,

Starsi Lyman
