4th Of July

Whats up everybody!!? This was a super normal week so this will ve a really short email. We celebrated 4th of July as a district on p day so that was fun. One of the sisters is from Denmark and so she didn't enjoy it too much but that's alright. 

This week went by really fast. We had a lot of normal days. We also had to go to Prague for my VISA appointment. Saw a lot of the homies from the MTC but the VISA appointment was brutal. The dude was trying to do everything possible to make it not work. But eventually i got out of there and then did an exchange with elder Olson in Plzeň. 
The exchange was lit and i gave a Bap interview to one of the sister's friends there. That was super cool and spiritual. It's a really hard situation because she found out she is going to pass away within the next few weeks. But she was ready to be baptized and we will be going to that this Saturday. We had some pretty normal days this week and worked hard. Honestly a week that people just didn't want to learn more or meet with us, probably because it was raining a lot, but it's alright. Hopefully this week goes a lot better.

Helaman 5
10 And remember also the words which Amulek spake unto Zeezrom, in the city of Ammonihah; for he said unto him that the Lord surely should come to redeem his people, but that he should not come to redeem them in their sins, but to redeem them from their sins. 
11 And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath sent his angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls.

I really liked these scriptures this week. Jesus Christ saved us from our sins and not in them. If we were saved in our sins, we wouldn't have to do anything on the earth to gain salvation. But because Jesus christ saved us from our sins, we are still required to repent and do our part in that process. 

Love you Guys!!! Have a great week again and 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.
