Blessed Week

This week was superrl awesome! We had a lot of amazing spiritual moments. 
On Tuesday we were outside knocking doors and not too much was happening. We were kind of getting wrecked and then I stepped in a huge thing of dog poop hiding in the snow and leaves. And then our one lesson for the week cancelled on us and so it started off kinda rough. But then we were on our way home and started talking to this older couple. They told us some things and then i asked about the Book of Mormon and she said that she has one and has never read it. But she might start reading it and i was like ok sick. Then they invited us into their house and it was soo amazing! Pretty much her dog passed away a couple months ago and she's been going through a super hard time. So we were able to answer a lot of her questions that she had and testify about the gospel and the spirit was soo strong. One of the coolest parts about all of this is that one of our members works at the same school that this woman works at. They were talking a little bit at school and our member on Monday night was praying that we would find her or if she should set up a lesson with us and this woman. It was a super big miracle and we are meeting this week all together.
We had Zone Conference on thursday and that was super awesome as well. Some of my favorite parts of ZC is when missionaries give their dying testimony and then we all sing our big mission songs all together. The spirit is soo strong and my old comp elder white gave his dying testimony. 
Finally we had a baptism for our friend Jana on Saturday and it was incredible. The spirit was definitely there. It's been 11 months and 30 days since she was found by missionaries, so it was super cool to see how much see has been able to change and all the support by the members. We also got to go carroling on the town square in Brno and man that was an amazing experience. I forgot what the difference is like between a tiny city and a massive city, it's low key overwhelming being surrounded by soo many people haha. But that was an awesome time! Also gave a talk at the baptism and in church, it's cool because I'm finally at the point with my czech where I can just speak instead of reading off of a paper. So i was able to stand up and give a 15 minute talk with a couple bullet points and quotes. Definitely wouldn't have been able to do that before my mission, even in English! 
Anyways, it was a really good week and I hope everybody has a super awesome Christmas season! Love you all!!

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.
