Dear Family,
Well we had a couple of days to catch our breath and then look out for the rest of the month. On saturday we went shopping for food and for some things for the home. It was good to get outside for a brief moment. Then we went to McDonalds in Rudnik so we could see if the young lady we have contacted before was working there. She was. We hope that next time we can try to set up an appointment with her. She is friendly with us and we have gone there a couple of times just to be friendly with her. She looks wholesome. It is amazing how many wholesome people we see. If we can just do a better job of finding and teaching them. On sunday we visited Celje Branch and of course we became the Sacrament meeting speakers. Sister Weight is doing very well at speaking. She even does it with out notes. It is great. I had over 30 minutes and started to speak. The talk was different than what I was going to speak on. I guess someone needed to hear what I said because I got up and it just flowed out totally different than what I thought I was going to speak about. I am very hopefull of the District Presidencies coming more alive than they have been. We have set up a visiting schedule for me and my two counselors to all of the branches. I prepare this for two months in advance and have Sister Hansen email it to the District Presidencies. They are scheduled to do visits every month as well. Yesterday all three members of the Coatia District Presidency visited a struggling branch in Varazdin. They called a Senior Couple Elder to be the Elders President there. This will really help. If we can keep the District Presidencies organized and doing their job it will build from there. Happy Birthday to my mom. Also happy birthday to Skylre on the 19th. Skylre at least I can remember yours. I am not very good at all of the rest of the grandkids, but I remember yours and Riley on the 6th of Janruary. Have a good week.
Love Dad
