Dear everyone,

Photo taken by Sister Newton during the broadcast.

We had a world wide conference this week with all the missionaries! It was really good. They talked about some great stuff and I learned a lot. There were some things said that were so good for me to hear. There are times when people talk and I feel like they are speaking straight to my soul and this conference had some of those moments! They are my favorites!

We were also able to spend it with the Tuzla Elders. I have adopted them as my elders, too. I like them and we see them all the time! They are so great.

We have a conference in Banja Luka tomorrow and we are taking the bus there tonight! It's a long bus ride but I think we will be able to manage it.. (: We will bring snacks or something!

Cool experience: The other day before we started our English Conversation Groups, one of the participants was there a few minutes early. I don't remember exactly how he said it but he said that our church (or us, the missionaries) has a special spirit that he likes. And I totally agree! I think there is a special spirit in our church buildings and I am glad that others recognize it!

Look how funny this stop light is!!
(Look closely at the green light.)

Something I realized this week: I am very happy! Now, I have known this for a long time but sometimes I forget the things I know! So I guess it was a rerealization. I don't know if that is a word but I would like to think that it is. I have heard that this time of year can be a sad time of year with it being dark and cold. But, I think we are all happier than we think we are. We have a Heavenly Father who loves us. And that, I think, is the only thing we need to remember to be truly happy in this life. Yes, all sorts of unhappy things happen, but Heavenly Father loves you. And if you remember that, you can remember that He has done so many things for you. Like created this beautiful world (that can be dark but can also be very bright), or provided a Savior for us. And one good thing leads to another so in the end, we have nothing to worry about! It will all be okay. (HAHA. I accidentally typed "oaky." (: I guess it maybe might all be oaky too but I know for sure it will be okay! (:)

I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week.

Love,
Sestra Locey

There is this way cool bridge that we walk past when we
go to the church, so we decided we should take pictures on it!
