I'm Training!!

Whats up!!? Some pretty cool things have been happening here, and our week was pretty good. We had a transfer call last night and I'll be staying here and Elder hinckley is going up to ZL to have the tume of his life. What a lucky man but I'm super excited to train. It's low key the actual most brutal area to start in, so im gonna try to do my best to keep the greenie as motivated as possible haha. But it's gonna be great!!
Pretty much with this week, we had a lesson with Jana again, and she is going to be baptized on December 7th which is exciting. Hopefully everything continues to go smoothly! We had a lesson with another friend and we were able to read the Book of Mormon with him and he has some questions about who Joseph Smith is. We told him a little bit but we are going to talk about him more after he reads the first vision story. It will be a really good lesson. 
We had the dad and two daughters come to church again and we are meeting with them on Thursday this week, so hopefully that will go super well. We had the opportunity to do some service at a farm on Saturday morning which was super hype. We feed a bunch of the emails and cleaned out all the stables and stuff. Fun times. We also actually had a branch activity where we got to go bowling with the youth and that was great. Im starting to get pretty close with the branch here and now I get to spend 3 more months here with Christmas and stuff. So I'm super excited. 
That's about all I got, still no crazy stories or anything, but the work is actually finally starting to move here which is exciting. I've been having some awesome studies the past couple weeks as I've been reading in the Book of Mormon and studying other things and I feel like my testimony has grown a lot. I feel like a lot of times, I get thrown a lot of bad things at me on the streets or on facebook and i really have to defend my testimony and what i believe. Recently I've been able to grow it a lot in a sense of me learning and studying a lot of amazing things that have boosted my testimony. There was an amazing video thing I watched from Hank Smith that elder Hinckley sent me and it complety changed my perspective on how important gathering israel is and what it really means. It is truly so important to gather Israel and it's been prophesied ever since the Abrahamic covenant. God never forgets the covenants he makes with people and we are all part of his army helping to gather others who can share this amazing message of peace and hope through Jesus Christ! It truly is the most amazing work on earth and I'm super grateful I get to be part of it! 
Love all you guys! Have another awesome 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...
