Čas Leti Fr

Whats up everybody! This will actually be a pretty quick email. The weeks are genuinely flying by. This week we were able to have a Great Zone Conference in Prague and it was great seeing a bunch of missionaries and learning a lot as well. Right after that I had an exchange with elder liddicott back in Mladé Boleslav. The last 7 months he was serving in mladé Boleslav so it was a great exchange. 
One of the cool things that happened on the exchange is that one of his goals was to get a refferal from somebody on the street and actually find somebody from it. It was a crazy goal because my entire mission I've never found somebody from a street refferal, and I ask for a refferal in literally every conversation haha. But we were on different sides of the street and I was talking to a 16 year old girl and guy. I talked with them for a bit and they didn't really have too much interest and that i asked if they knew anybody. They said they had a friend named "luky" and started laughing a little bit. But then I got his number and kind of forgot about it. But then at the end of the day we were Reviewing our goals and realized that I forgot to text luky, and he is one of the coolest kids I've ever met. We had a super good lesson with him and he's going to start reading the Book of Mormon and praying about it. It was a pretty cool miracle and was super cool to see that asking for a referral works. 

Other than that, the week was pretty good and we have been finding a pretty good amount of people this week. Our zone is really focusing on getting real finds that progress well towards baptism. We have some pretty cool people that will hopefully start progressing these next few weeks. 

For the spiritual thought this week, I've been reading a lot of president nelsons talks since he became the Prophet. One of the quotes that I really like is from 2018 when he was talking to all the youth of the church. 
"My dear extraordinary youth, you were sent to earth at this precise time, the most crucial time in the history of the world, to help gather Israel. There is nothing happening on this earth right now that is more important than that. There is nothing of greater consequence. Absolutely nothing. This gathering should mean everything to you. This is the mission for which you were sent to earth. So my question to you is “Are you willing to enlist in the youth battalion of the Lord to help gather Israel?”

I think it was a great reminder for me as I was reading this talk because he was talking to all the missionaries that are out on missions right now. We all chose to serve missions and we are helping to gather israel right now. There is nothing more important we can do than to gather israel and help others find tbe gospel of Jesus christ. 

Have a great week everybody! Love and miss 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. Sup...
