Praha -> České Budějovice

Welp we had transfers this week and I'm out of Prague! Low key kinda sad but it was time for me to go and experience another area. The difference is crazy and I've gotta get used to it. I went from being surrounded by 10 missionaries, plus the mission presidents family and another senior companionship all day every day. And now I'm chillin by myself with my comp 2 hours away from any other missionary in a town in the south of Czechia. We had 12 people at church which was a pretty good amount so it's just completely different. It's a beautiful town but we are just outside a lot of the day and trying to make good use of our time always instead of just on the streets for 5 straight hours. 

Other than that it's fire here, it's a lot of other missionaries favorite area so that's exciting. My last couple days in Prague were really good. We had some great lessons with people and it was awesome. I said bye to some of the people I've come close with and my last night there we had a fire member Meal. They fed us some food That my mom would make so it was great. We ate a lottt. That next day I said bye to some missionaries that are going home and other missionaries staying in Prague and I dipped to my new area in České Budějovice. The past 3 days were super chill and it's soo much slower paced here. I gave a good talk in church again and might have to do that like every 3 weeks cause our branch is so small. My Czech is also about to get so much better just cause not too many people speak English here and I'm gonna be on the streets for like 4 hours every day. It's gonna be great! 

Nothing too crazy so ill just end with a spiritual Thought. Alma 33:23 “And now, my brethren, I desire that ye shall plant this word in your hearts, and as it beginneth to swell even so nourish it by your faith. And behold, it will become a tree, springing up in you unto everlasting life. And then may God grant unto you that your burdens may be light, through the joy of his Son. And even all this can ye do if ye will. Amen.” I know that as we continue to do the small things every day and continue to nourish our small seed that our faith can become great. It doesn't matter where your testimony is right now, it will grow stronger and stronger when you do the little things every day. When we stop watering that seed that's when our faith and testimony can get a little shaky. Nothing can turn us away if we have that faith building experience everyday through the scriptures and prayer. 

I love you guys and hope you are all doing great!! 

I would really appreciate it if you sent me an email! I would love to hear from you!

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...
