Uchtdorf, Mission Conference, Blessings

Image
There was honestly not a single bad thing about this week! It was just straight up full of blessings and some amazing experiences. Just a little heads up, this might be a longer email.  So Monday was super normal, we did pretty much nothing for Pday except we got haircuts and I got a volleyball. It was a solid day. We ended the day with a member meal and they fed us some fettuccine and Alfredo except It was spaghetti with some blue cheese/gravy mix. Tasted the exact same, was actually pretty good. Tuesday it started to get hectic. So we left sometime in the morning to prague on a train. A lot of crazy stuff and confusion was happening but I ended up driving in a car to Brno with my old comp Elder Lawrence. It was a good drive and when we got to Brno we met up with some other missionaries. I ended up going contacting for the last 3 hours of the day with elder Rowe and it was a lot of fun. It was my first time really walking around the city of Brno and it was a pretty cool place. I w...

Alright my last couple emails have been pretty boring and depressing so I'm gonna only talk about the good things of this week! This is about to sound like the best week of my life!  Monday we has such an awesome Pday. I got to go back to my home in Prague and have a whole zone pday of just sports. Dang it was so refreshing and was an awesome start the week! So many cool missionaries and a lot of fun playing sports. And then right when we got to cbud we went to a member meal and that was our day. Such a W day!  Tuesday i made it a goal to be as positive as possible all day and it helped with finding joy so that was pretty great. We went door to door contacting and dang the grandmas were not nice haha. We only got to about 50 doors in our contacting block and people weren't in very good moods. I thought it was a lot of fun tho.  On Wednesday The senior couple from like 2 hours away came down to our area for some various reasons but I loved it. I got to have some amazing co...

Whats up everybody! This week was very average but I'll give you a quick run down. Basically all of our friends are dropping us which is super discouraging. Our friend on bap date hasn't texted us back or answered a call in a week and a half and everybody else is pretty much the same. Low key don't know why but we are still trying our best.  We spent the whole p day on Monday visiting This one castle like 3 hours away. It was pretty solid, one of the coolest castle ruins I've been to. That night we had a lesson with a muslim guy and bro was goin off on us for about a straight hour. I won't get into details but it was a really fun lesson and started off the week pretty well. Bro was crazy but knew a lot of stuff.  Tuesday was absolutely empty. It was terrible and we talked to so many people that day and just rejection after rejection. Nothing crazy.  Wednesday was so freaking awesome. Me and Elder Rowe hit up an exchange in Čbud. It was the first time being comps for...

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...
