Neil, Nathan

Hello family, There have been some changes to Nathan's plan we want to share with you.  He was originally going to come home 5/16 and be released and give his Homecoming talk on 5/21.   Now, he will be staying in Croatia.  Jacob and David will get there by 5/18.  He will be released via zoom.  Then they will be there for a special weekend of Elder David A Bednar coming to visit the Saints of the area.  It's been a long time since an Apostle has come and they are excited.  The rest of us (Maddie, Tyler, me and Elle) will be leaving on 5/22 to meet them and tour Nathan's mission and some of Italy.  We return Monday 6/5.   So, Nathan's new date for his homecoming talk will be June 11 at 9am PST.  I will send out a zoom link the week of. Please forward this info to any of your adult children who might be curious as to what's up. Also, if you have questions or want to respond, just do it to my email, instead of "reply all", as there...

I'm a little ashamed how long it's been since the last email considering this is the last week! But here goes anyways.. One thing that has stood out these past few weeks is the progress of our members. We've been meeting with a couple of them regularly since the beginning of the transfer and it's amazing to see how far they've come. I love to see them have experiences with the Spirit, that's probably my favorite part of missionary work. They go study and pray on their own and then call us to tell us about the inspiration they recieved and Spirit they felt!  The other thing that has stood out is the role love and service has played this transfer. I can honestly say that I have real, true friends here in Zadar who I trust and love. I can't really put into words why that is so significant to me, but I can testify that charity really changes lives. Please... Take time to visit people who are struggling. Do something unexpectedly kind like writing a note or buyin...
