1 Year

This is going to be a quicker email but it's been a really good week. We had a solid week and our friend from Nigeria came to church on Sunday. That was awesome. We have a really cool friend from India and we have been teaching him about Jesus Christ, it's awesome to help him understand the importance of Jesus christ in his life. I hope we can continue to meet with him and help him to know more about Christ and Heavenly Father! 

My Pday got switched to a Tuesday because yesterday we had Zone Conference and today we had a mission dedication reunion. All the missionaries serving in Czech Republic, which is probably around 40ish all got together and celebrated the dedication of our mission from 34 years ago. Our mission president was one of the first missionaries that came to the czech republic in 1990 so it was super spiritual and an awesome time. There isn't a greater feeling than being with a bunch of other missionaries who are going through some of the same problems that our areas each have. 

Another amazing part about it, was that my entire mtc district got to be together on our 1 year mark as of today. So that was a coop little gift and awesome to be with them. The mission has been absolutely incredible in the past year. I know many missionaries have already said this so it's not too surprising, but it's been amazing to see how much I've grown over all the good times and bad times of my mission. I feel like there hasn't been any huge miracles or seeing anybodies life take an incredible change, but i know that because of the effort and hard work I've put in, that I've touched the hearts of many people even if they won't admit it. It's awesome that I still have a year left, i can't wait to see what other lessons and all the other incredible experiences i will have over the next year. 

Hope everybody is doing great! Love you all and have a good week!

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...
