Summer Time

Whats up everyone!? Alright this week was kinda wild and normal all at the same time. Ill start with some of the more interesting stuff and then get to the cool miracles by the end. 

This week it was either pouring rain or I was dripping in sweat all day. I truly feel like im in south America or something because dang it is getting so hot. Europe also doesn't have AC, at least here in czechia, but nobody gave me that heads up so it's low key brutal. We've got two little fans and one big one in our apartment and they are all trash. The worst part about this is that the Czech People think it is extremely hot and i swear they just all decides to stop wearing clothes. We did a lottt of door knocking this week and I've never seen so many old grandpa's not wearing clothes. I won't get into the details but it was absolutely terrible haha. Absolutely disgusting but that's just how it is I guess. Some other crazy stuff that happened is that we only had time to call inactive members for like 3 minutes on friday night and the one person I called actually answered. She said her husband was in the hospital And that she would really appreciate it if we gave him a visit. I probably can't share any more of the story but it was one of the craziest moments of my mission. It was pretty much my biggest nightmare all together in one thing, and I never want to go to a hospital again haha. 

Now for some really cool spiritual moments. We got a referal from some missionaries In California that pretty much said, don't call this person, but his girlfriend and kid live here and they want you to bring him a book of Mormom. But we can't let him know that they told us to do it. We were like bruh, this is stupid, but we decided to visit anyway. It was like a 50 minute train ride and then a 30 minute walk, and of course the bro wasn't home. So we dropped the Book of and put all our contact information in it. We knocked some doors for the next 20 minutes around his house, saw some more old dudes, absolutely terrible, but then the bro actually returned home. It was wild, so we knocked on his door like 10 minutes later and ended up teaching him about the Book of Mormon for like 15 minutes. Then he was like, you guys aren't gonna believe this but my friend from California just sent me a picture of my kid with this exact same book. So we acted surprised and we're like danggg that's wild. But yeah, he didn't end up giving us his contact, but said he will text us if he has interest. So we will see. 

We also taught a kid that was supposed to get drafted into the NHL on Saturday and unfortunately didn't get drafted, but maybe that is actually a big blessing and we can continue to teach him. He just doesn't know that yet. 

We also had Zone Conference this week and it was awesome. Always a good time seeing other missionaries and getting a big spiritual boost. 

That's pretty much it for the week, low key a longer email but hopefully you enjoyed it. 

Quick little thought, in zone conference my mission prez said "Don't Wait, Just do it!". He has really been emphasing how short our missions are. I think this quote can apply to everybody right now. There is no reason to wait, just work hard and do it and blessings will Come. Having faith means that we are acting, and the best way to act on something is to just go for it. 

Anyways, have a lit week everybody! Love you guys!!

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.
