Tento týden byl další skvělý týden! This week was awesome and I've had a few of the most fun and cool experiences this week. Mostly fun tho haha. This week was super cool because we had Mission Conference. Our mission has 1 mission conference every year and it was so cool! Because we had mission conference, a general authority named Elder Alliaud came to czechia! The dude was so cool. One of the greatest things about being in Prague is that I'm super spoiled haha. I get so many cool experiences and so much extra stuff that I won't get for the rest of my mission. One of the perks I got this past week was to take Elder Alliaud and his wife from dinner to their hotel. It was a big deal for us haha, we were stoked to first off, drive a car, and then also to talk with a general authority and ask him a bunch of questions. Well I was in charge of the directions. And there is only one marriot in all of Prague, so I typed in Marriott and clicked on the top one. Because that's th...

This was my favorite week of being a missionary by far! I thought I could try to make my emails shorter but we will see how it goes. I had some pretty cool experiences this week and want to share some of the coolest ones.  I'll just start with last Monday. I had the opportunity to give my guy Tadeas the melchizedek priesthood. He is a recent convert of IDK how many years but we have grown super close over the last month and a half. The coolest part is, this guy visited our mtc class while I was in the MTC. I didn't know it then but we have grown super close and it was a super sweet experience.  Me and my comp gave a fire skills seminar lesson over zoom to the entire mission. I was stressing about the call for a few days but it was great. We taught about contacting on metros and trams while traveling. It's super cool to see how far I've come because now talking to people is getting way more comfortable and that's just something I do now. I get on a tram and look for ...

This week had two of the hardest days of my mission so far and some of the best days. It's so weird how one day I will have the best day ever and then the next day you'll be at church and somebody steals your bag and you will probably never see it again, it's great!! I'll start with a story that happened at church yesterday. One of our friends came for the first time and it was so cool. I sat next to him for all of sacrament and then we also went to the second hour of church together downstairs. Well when church was over, he said that he loved it and everything about it was great. He went to go grab his bag and leave from downstairs where there were a lot of people and it was pretty chaotic. He looked at us and said his bag was gone. This bag was his whole life, it had all his clothes, food and everything he needs to survive. He literally has nothing and his whole world was in that bag. We looked around the building for the next 20 minutes and couldnt find it anywhere. ...

After writing this email I just realized how long it was so I would be impressed if any of you guys read it all, but 5TH WEEK IN PRAGUE! It's honestly crazy because I feel like I got here like 1 or 2 weeks ago but I've been here for 5 Sundays now which is actually insane. I'll start my email with a really cool thought that one of the senior missionaries had at church yesterday. He told us to imagine we were standing and the sun was behind us. We could look forward and our shadow is on the ground right in front of us. That shadow is all of our fears, regrets, things we are scared of, ig just all the bad things you could think about haha. When you turn around towards the sun, which another way you could say that is the Son/Jesus Christ, you are turning away from all the bad things in the world that you don’t need to worry about. So everybody should turn to Christ in their life so that they can feel comfort and peace instead of being scared of their fears and the bad things th...
