Yupp

Whats up everybody! We had another really good week here. This transfer has been awesome and the area is finally picking up speed. It's been about 5 months and we are finally seeing some good things happen so that's awesome!
I got absolutely humbled on Tuesday haha. Right when I thought my czech skills were getting better, I didn't understand like anything. It sounded like everybody was using like crazy slang in every conversation and that it was like a different dialect of czech, I guess it was just Heavenly Father showing me how much he really is helping me with the language. It would be brutal without his help so that was honestly a cool thing to see. 

We got yelled at by a lot of people this week, it was like an unnormal amount haha. It's honestly super fun when people yell or try to argue with us. It's way better then them just saying no. We never argue back, but if it makes them feel better than I guess they can do it. 

On thursday we had one of the most spirit filled lessons ever. We met this dude at his college dorm and taught him the restoration and wow it was actually so awesome. I think the craziest storm I've ever since since being here happened for the 30 minutes during that lesson. It was like a little mini hurricane with crazy lighting and thunder and it was incredible. The best part was that we were watching a video of joseph smith and the first vision, and so the spirit was already incredible strong and then right when Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph, one of the wildest lighting and thunder struck and it was really cool. 

We also taught a dude that is like a relative of some famous king here and so he had a crazy nice apartment with a bunch of kings thrones and swords. We got flicked up with them and that was cool. He also looks like a knock off Luka Doncic so that was cool too. 

Also gave my 3rd talk in the last 4 weeks because we only had 3 members at church today. Dang it's brutal but i think its just because it's summer break or something. 

Alma 26:11-12

But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God. 12 Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.

I've definitely already shared this verse in an email before but it is such a good verse. Whenever i start to think that im becoming a great missionary or I'm starting to speak the language better, I get straight up humbled. We should never boast of our own strength because Heavenly father does soo much for us and he gives us strength through everything. 

That's all i have for this week, love you all!! Have another good week and email me if you feel like it this week. It would be really cool.

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...
