Šťastný Nový Rok!!

Šťastný nový rok! Happy new year! This week was litty and a lot of good stuff happened and I'm also learning a lot.
Last week for Christmas, we spent the whole day at an American member's home. It was nothing like Christmas back home but a lot more normal then I bet a bunch of other missionaries around the world had. It was pretty solid. 

On Wednesday we had Zone Conference which was a lot of fun. I saw a bunch of other missionaries again and it was super fun. Nothing too crazy but it was a good day. That next day we had exchanges with the ZLs and I was with a ukrainian elder all day. He learned English on the mission and it's honestly really good. It was cool to see him and learn from him. My comp was with the other ZL and he went to Mountain View. We talked a lot about sports and stuff so it was a lot of fun to make some crazy connections. 

The next couple days were kinda slow. Our whole district was pretty sick this week so we were just trying to grind and get through the week. Me and my comp were contacting at a park and there was a family of like 5 people about to walk past us. I looked at my comp and asked if he wanted to talk to them and he was like heck no haha. I said the same thing but I still decided to talk to them. After about 15 minutes of talking to this family, they were interested and wanted a BoM. It was pretty cool and that's why you talk to everyone haha. A big family is hecka scary but it's ok cause they need to learn about God. 

We had another lesson with Martin and he wants to get baptized in May, in a really cool lake, right around his birthday. So I won't be in Prague (I don't think) when he gets baptized but I hope I can come back and go to the baptism. 

Other than that nothing crazy happened, pretty boring week with some normal missionary days. We aren't doing much for new years eve. My mission prez gave us permission to stay up until 12:30 on new years eve but sleep is more important haha. 

I'll end by saying that God loves everybody! Everybody you look at on a metro or at school or anywhere. They are all loved by God. It's really that simple. God loves everybody! 

Miss you guys! Have a good week and send me an email if you feel like it!

Dang this was such a normal week, but I'll try to make this interesting. Monday we had a district p day which was awesome. I used to have those every week in Prague, I definitely miss those days haha. But we went to one of the prettiest places in the country, it was literally a fairy tale land. But it was an awesome day and gave us some energy for the long week we had. We ended that day with some street contacting, picking up elder Rowes wallet from the train station cause he lost it, and then killing around 15 spiders that have been lurking in our church building for probably the past 5 years.  Tuesday was a completely normal day, we visited an inactive member and she said she's definitely not going to come back to church. Kinda unfortunate.  Wednesday was the first day of my mission that I have ever gone door to door contacting. It was actually a lot of fun but dang nobody wanted to talk with us. We might try it again soon and see if people's hearts change. This was a hol...

This is actually going to be such a short email cause I don't feel really good, but this week was so awesome. Pretty much the first half of the week was pretty great, normal missionary work. We were able to teach a couple lessons and talk with lots of people. Good stuff. Thursday we went to the other elders area and I ran an exchange with my old comp from Prague elder Lawrence. That was a good time and good to be back together. The exchange was pretty great. That next day I had my last VISA appointment in Prague and now I have my visa which is good. Elder Hinckley still has 2 more so we will be going back again very soon. Pretty bad timing but its alr.  The best part of the week was that i was able to return to CBUD for a baptism of one of our friends that I was able to teach before i left. She is so amazing, already has the strongest testimony! She has some family members in the church so she has been reading the Book of mormon a little bit over the past couple years. One day she ...

Week 88 Or Something As A Missionary

Image
Whats up everybody! This week was really awesome! It started off with a lot of late nights preparing for ZC and some other things, but it was a lot of fun.  It's been a crazy past couple of weeks. As a mission, we always have a monthly focus. Througout our MLC about a month ago, we counciled about things and decided that the best monthly focus for our mission would be, "Confidence and Christ". We were planning a lot of things, even as we were preparing for a zone conference, we were completely focusing on how to grow in our confidence in Christ. Then as we watched General Conference, President Nelsons talk was titled, "Confidence in the Presence of God". It was such an incredible feeling, knowing that our mission is focusing exactly on what the Prophet feels need to share with us.  Zone Conference went great, all the trainings and thoughts were all focused on growing our confidence through charity and Virtue and how to apply it directly into missionary work. Sup...
