Story From Elder Hinckley

I sent out my email already, but elder Hinckley wrote it so much better than me, so Im just going to copy and paste it from him haha

That's right, the very next day Elder Winegar and I went outside around 2 o'clock and talked with all the teenagers that just got out of school. We approach a group of 5 probably 16 year old menacing kids. Elder Winegar asks them if they want to play sports with us. They reply with a no and a chorus of snickers, mocking the strangers who just approached them. Elder Winegar then hits them with the big question, "do you guys believe in God?" More laughter and mocking fired toward the young missionaries. But just when these Elders were losing faith that these boys were elect, one of the boys answers and says, "I believe in God." Immediately the boy's own friends laugh at him and mock his faith. But the boy stays true to what he believes. The Elders act quick and Elder Winegar immediately starts talking to the one believer in order to strengthen his faith and give him an opportunity to accept the restored gospel. His shorter yet faithful companion Elder Hinckley starts to distract the other four boys to get them to leave their friend alone. As Elder Hinckley gets taught the naughtiest of naughty words in Czech, Elder Winegar successfully aquires the phone number of the young disciple and sets up a time to meet with him. The boys continue on their way to lunch and the grateful Elders shout praises to their Lord and God Jesus Christ. 

Hope you like this better, 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.
