Character Of Christ

Another week and last week of this 12 week transfer. WOW, this week was soo freaking hard for a coupke different reasons haha but I found soo much joy it was actually incredible. If I had this week about 4 weeks ago or any other time of my mission, it may have been one of the hardest weeks of my life... but it was honestly an amazing week because i changed my mindset and definitely have learned a lot from these past 12 weeks. 
I would go through ever day but pretty much our entire week went like this. 

- we had District Council on Saturday for an hour and a half
- we had 2 lessons on Friday, those were our only lessons of the week. 
- we had a member meal Sunday night which was awesome, the chrdlovi are amazing. 
- like 2 or 3 more leadership calls for a total of like an hour and a half. 
- quick trip to the hospital 

And after that it was straight up walking on the streets and talking to literally every single person I saw. We also had studies too but those are normal. 

One of the greatest miracles ever was that we had 3 new friends come to church on Sunday. It feels like all my hard work is payed off right there just because they came. It was the greatest feeling in the world haha. 

Other than that nothing happened but I wanted to share a little bit about a talk I listened to this week called Character of Christ from Elder Bednar. One of the quotes he said was "The work you perform is a whole lot more about who you are and what you are, than what you ever say". This doesn't mean that I don't have to study the gospel or study czech at all but this was so powerful to me. I for some reason still can't teach a good lesson like at all in czech, it is maybe the hardest thing in the entire world. Every day i try my best to follow the spirit, be obedient, work hard, and be positive. I know as long as i do those things, Heavenly Father will trust me and put me in people's paths that are ready for our message. This is so important. There is no words i can say, as long as Im following the spirit, that can hinder someone from the relationship or path back to Heavenly Father. If they are ready, they are ready and no matter how bad or good my language skills are, my example and the feelings they get when i share my testimony is all that matters. Our examples and they way we carry the spirit with us is truly so powerful. 

The last little miracle i wanted to share was about a talk that my dad sent me throughout the week. He shared a talk from Elder Holland with me about Joseph Smith in Liberty Jail. This talk really stood out to me because it talked about how Joseph Smith was still able to have the spirit with him even in times or situations when it may feel impossible. So many other things stuck out to me and it was great. But the miracle is that in church thus Sunday, one of our members quoted a big chunk of This exact talk and based his whole talk around it. It was such a cool miracle to see that nobody would ever know or realize. But that was Heavenly Fathers way of telling me that he's watching over me and because others were in tune with the spirit, I was able to be blessed by it. 

Have an another great week and i love you guys!!! Send me an email!

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.
