Prague And Mladé Boleslav

Whats going on!? I'll give a quick little run down of the week. 

We went to the coolest castle for our pday. Absolutely huge and straight from a movie. So cool. I don't remember like anything from Monday until Wednesday but they were good days. Just doing some good normal missionary work. 
Thursday we traveled to a place called Mlade Boleslav for an exchange with the ZLs. It was actually the worst train ride of my life. It was like 2 hours and they told us that the AC was broken in the train. So we were stuck in a furnace and it looked like everybody showered by the end of the ride. It was horrible. 

On friday I was on an exchange with Elder Liddicott. He's from England so he has a really cool accent and his czech skills are actually incredible. It was super humbling for me, but it was a fun exchange. Pretty much contacted literally the entire day cause both of our lessons fell through. Did a lot of streets, Facebook, door knocking and even tried some pantalock knocking but nobody answered. 

Saturday was a lot of fun because the sister's in our district had a baptism in prague. It super sad, but the girl that was baptized was told that she has less than a month to live. But she has such a strong testimony and it was awesome to see. Right when she was baptized, she immediately went into like a 3 minute testimony. Not sure if that is allowed but it was super sweet and cool to see how strong her testimony is even though she has some very tough circumstances. 
We had a good church on Sunday, me and my comp both gave talks and then we had a lesson with our ukrainian friend. He speaks like 50 percent ukrainain and 50 percent czech so it's crazy hard to understand the dude. And he's always talking about politics in every conversation. So we had a ukrainian missionary from our mission join the lesson. So for like 45 minutes they had a really good lesson in Russian. Actually a really cool guy. 

2 Nephi 2:8
"Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise."

This verse was a good reminder to me of just how important this work is. It really is the most important work. 

That's all i have for this week. Time is actually flying by, it's crazy. But hope you all have a really good week! 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

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...
