February 2nd

Hey everyone!
I hope you are all having a good week. Things here in LaSalle are good. I am starting to settle in and know the people here. It will be a slow process, especially since I am terrible with names but they will come! 

Croatian is interesting! To learn it we have some books and I have a Book of  Mormon. We also have a recent convert named Rosa who has agreed to help us learn the language. So that will be nice. On my own I decided to work on the alphabet so that I could sound out words. We will see how it goes. Wish me luck with that and my French! On the good news someone asked me a question in French yesterday and I was able to understand it and reply back. :) The question was how are you and where are you from? 

My quick story is the power of cookies. We have an investigator named Sam  (Sammy). He had kind of dropped us recently. Anyway so we were texting him and asking if we could meet him and he really wouldn't say yes. We asked him if there was anything we could do for him and he was like, "like what?" So Sister H asked me what we could do. I offered a couple of things one of them being cookies. After we sent that we could make him cookies he was like, ya we can totally meet and Tim Hortons (coffee shop) and you can bring me cookies and we can talk. So that was awesome! We did make him cookies and met him at Tim Hortans and he wants to meet with us again.  :)

I hope you all have a good week!
Talk to you later,
Sestra Gardner (Croatian word I know)
