Dear everyone,

I decided to write this email at the beginning so that I actually write it.

escape room

This week has been great!! We went to Novi Sad on Monday for pday and that was SO fun. We went to an escape room. I hadn't ever heard of those until being out here but apparently they are pretty popular! We had a ton of fun. We got a bunch of missionaries together to go. It was fun to be all together!

(I got distracted, this is no longer first.. I hope the rest isn't too rushed.)

The way home was an adventure. We left Novi Sad and took the train home. We were with the elders. On our way home, it started to rain! We continued on and as we got close to Beograd, someone came around the train and said that the next stop was as far as they were going because the power was out so they couldn't go all the way into Beograd and they were going to head back to Novi Sad. So we got off. We wandered through the rain and found a bus stop. We waited and took a bus. We did some more waiting and some more bus taking. We got to where we could get home easily and walked back. We got back a little later than planned, that is for sure. And there was more than one time that I was grateful we had the elders with us and it wasn't just two young girls wandering around that part of town. But all's well that ends well.

We had a lesson with a member this week and WOW was it amazing!!!!! They explain things oh so much better and clearer and everything. And their testimonies are oh so powerful. I have a renewed excitement to go to the temple. Wow, I miss that.

We went to Čačak on Saturday. Čačak is about 2 1/2 hours away. They have had missionaries in the past but this transfer there aren't any down there. They are a group and therefore part of the Beograd branch. So we got permission to go down there and visit them. They haven't ever had sisters down there, just elders. We visited with the members and a few investigators and it was an absolutely wonderful trip. It was phenomenal. They are all so good and sweet and kind and loving and they have my heart. The people in all my areas have my heart and they have become included in that.

We took the sacrament (we went with the elders to take the sacrament) to a member on Sunday. I realized that no matter what or where, the spirit is the same where the sacrament is. It was beautiful. I am honored that I could be present and that I could participate twice that day.

I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week. Thanks for being understanding when I don't write a group email.

Love,
Sister Locey
