Gigs In Slovakia #2 November '25

Elder Nielson had a wonderful November!  He loves his mission!  
I love talking with him on Mondays because he has so much to say 
(for a child of few words and expressive opinions),
And I think he thrives being on his own, independent, and grown.
  I think I've expressed that before.
He is really enjoying living away and meeting new people.
He ADORES his mission leaders and his apartment.  
He is still working hard on the Slovak language, 
which, as it turns out, is one of the hardest languages to learn. 
I am super proud of him.  
With each p-day phone call, we learn about someone 
he is teaching or serving, and with each call, I see a different side 
of Gigs that I haven't yet seen fully developed in him yet; 
it's compassion and love.  
It's beautiful.  
And my favorite part about Gigs is the way people adore him.  
He told me today what Hygge is like in the village he is living in.  
We looked up the word equivalent to "Hygge" or "cozy" in Slovak,
and it's called "Utulný".  It's pretty cozy in Slovakia.
