Úspěšný Týden

We had such an awesome week. Life is going really well and I feel incredibly blessed. The only thing that could be frustrating me right now is how much of a grind the past 12 weeks were with not too much success, compared to only one week with my new comp filled with just joy, fun, and already as much success as like the first 7 weeks of last transfer combined haha. Genuinely I don't think I could be happier so it's great!

This week was really successful if you compare it to a lot of my other weeks here. We actually only had about 2 or 3 lessons this week, and dropped almost every single one of our friends, super unfortunate, but this area is going to be absolutely popping in a couple weeks. One of the biggest miracles of the week was church. This week at church we only had 5 members pull up, kinda brutal, but we also had 5 of our friends come. I think that's gotta be some sort of record haha. It was actually so incredible and heavenly has been blessing us like crazy. Last night we also had the opportunity to teach somebody the whole restoration lesson on the street. He was an 18 year old kid and it was actually really cool. He didn't want to exchange numbers and probably not interested unfortunately but it was still a miracle just that we were able to teach him. He left with a Book of Mormon as well so that's always good. We had our district council on Tuesday so we were in Plzeň which is like 2 hours away. It was fun and we did like the most affective 30 minute finding blitz of my life. Me and Elder folkman (who serves in plzen) received like 2 contacts and handed out like 5 cards with our facebook and church information. Super lit. Honestly a super normal week with nothing crazy. But im loving it and love the work right now which is always good. 

"The greatest compliment that can be earned here in this life is to be known as a covenant keeper. The rewards for a covenant keeper will be realized both here and hereafter” Russell M. Nelson. Our mission has really been focusing on covenants this whole month. To be completely honest, I didn't even really know what a covenant was before I came on my mission. That word meant pretty much nothing to me haha. But as I've been on my mission and studied and reviewed my covenants, I have grown closer to my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ because of it. Even though some of the greatest blessings from our covenants come from the next life, the blessings in this life are the greatest gift ever. 

Definitely go review and study covenants if you haven't in a while, they are super important!!

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...
