Dang, this was one of the hardest and longest weeks ever. But we worked super hard and did see a couple miracles and blessings so that's what I'll write about!

Monday we went to the coolest castle ever. It was hugeee and was also super pretty all around it. One of the coolest places I've been to so far. That night we hit the streets for a couple hours and started our week of grinding haha. 
Tuesday we played badminton against a dude that was on a pro badminton team here. I never thought I would do that and I got really humbled. Bro was absolutely Insane. The rest of the day was literally just finding, had a few good convos but nothing too crazy. 

Wednesday we went to our boi ctibors house. This dude is really struggling with his health and he got baptized About 10 years ago. We shared a quick spiritual thought with him. Then We went to this place called The Hub which is actually a Jesus Club. We taught this one dude the gospel of Jesus Christ and it went really good. He didn't end up coming to church but that's alr. We got a random call from a gray dot and she said she wanted a lesson. So that night we taught her the restoration lesson. The gift of tongues wasn't helping us too much but the lesson went pretty well. She actually wants to meet this Week a couple times so that's exciting. 

Thursday was a little brutal. I was really praying to Heavenly Father for a little blessing or miracle. I went to go call a couple of our contacts and this one dude didn't answer so that was unfortunate. But then he called me back and I ended up teaching him like half the restoration in about 30 minutes. It was the best phone call I've ever had. This dude is very bad at contacting us but he is really cool and I hope we continue to teach him. That night we met some dude that invited us to play basketball with him so that was a big blessing. That almost never happens here and I've been searching for somebody to play with my whole mission haha. 

Friday we had a really good Lesson with this one dude and are hoping to put him on date in his next lesson. That would be really cool so if everything goes right it would be a huge miracle. He flaked on us for church But that's alright. That night we ended up playing some basketball with that one dude from the other day. It was super fun, they weren't very good but it was still basketball. so that was awesome. 

Saturday we pulled up to another town for the day and it was beautiful. The weather was honestly terrible all week and it was especially bad on Saturday. It was pouring rain and in the high 30s and low 40s all day. It wasn't too fun for contacting but the town was absolutely beautiful. We ended the night with a lesson with a dude named Karel. Sunday morning we picked him up and went to church. Kinda fun.

Sunday our schedule was completely open so nothing too crazy. Church Was good and that's about it for my week. 
Alright spiritual thought for the week. This was a quote that my mom sent me in the middle of the week and it was awesome! “I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I am supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.” 
This quote really changed my point of view. I definitely do believe that prayer can actually change things. But I also believe that a lot of the time it really is prayer changing us. Prayer gives us the strength to keep going and the motivation to know that Heavenly Father loves us. And occasionally Heavenly Father will put a really cool blessing in our lives like he did for me this week. But prayer is so important and I've never had a stronger testimony for it than I do now. 

That's my email for this week! Love you guys and hope you have an amazing week!! Send me a quick email if you have some time!

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

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...
