Leadership Council, Elder Sirkovic, & Halloween

Dear Family,
     This week was pretty good, our new investigator F____ is still doing good. We drove to Banja Luka on Wednesday night, and had mission leadership council on Thursday. After the council, we drove back to Banja Luka with Elder Širković. We normally go on exchanges with the AP's once in the transfer, but since the AP's are also training a new Elder this transfer, Elder Širković is just staying with us in a threesome for a few days. We've been having a pretty good time. 
     To answer Aubreys questions, we had a pretty good Halloween. On actual Halloween we had the meeting in Zagreb, but the day after we had a big Halloween party at the church. Halloween isn't really a thing here, people here know what it is, and it's growing a little, but there aren't trick or treaters or anything. The Halloween party was super good though. A few of our members and investigators came, and a bunch of our english class students. We played games and had food and treats and decorated cookies and stuff. It was super fun. 
     They have plenty of places where I could buy a coat, and maybe just putting money in my account would be good, but it's still nice to get packages and letters and stuff in the mail, even if it's just something small.
     The principle of pressing forward is something I've learned a lot being on a mission. Even if you're tired and don't want to do something, if you do it anyway you'll be blessed.
