Hodně Lekcí A V Libereci

Whats up!? This week was a lot of fun and it's been a big change from my last like 10ish months. 
I went from having like 2 lessons every 3 weeks to having 4 lessons in our schedule every day this last week. My companion was called as a ukrainian speaking missionary, and our area has tons of ukrainians so a lot of the lessons are just him teaching in ukrainian, but still super awesome. The branch here in Mladá Boleslav is superrr missionary focused and it's incredible. They are expecting crazy miracles and it makes our work as missionaries soo much easier haha. 
It's been getting pretty cold here and the worst part is the Wind. It's actually terrible. But itll only be for a few more months and then ill be complaining about the humid hot summer without air conditioning haha. 
I went on an exchange in a place called Liberec with one of my MTC district members elder olson and we had a great time. We met some awesome people and had a great time being in Liberec for the first time. I'm super excited to be going on exchanges 1 or more times every week for the next couple months. I'm probably forgetting a lot of stuff, but everything is going super good and I'm super excited to serve in thus area. Some amazing things are going to happen and I can't wait to see some of the miracles here and in our mission. 
I've been studying some different talks about success as a missionary. It's been so awesome to see the difference in my thoughts after a year and a half of serving. In a talk called The Fourth Missionary there is a quote that really stood out to me about how to get the most out of my mission. 

" This missionary strives to be a faithful representative of Jesus Christ. He measures his success by the peace that comes into his heart from time to time when he can honestly say, "I am doing my best. I have a lot of weaknesses and a lot to learn. But I am withholding nothing from the Lord. I am serving with all of my might, mind, heart and strength. I am faithful and giving it all I have to give." At the end of his service this missionary wants to look back over his two years, and be able to say to himself and to the Lord, "I have no regrets; I did my best".

When i think about some of the days on my mission. The ones that stick out to me are the days where I go to bed really feeling like I did everything in my power and gave it my all. The goal is of course to have that feeling every day. But I know that as each an every missionary serving serves with everything they've got, that they can truly feel successful as a missionary. As I've focused on testifying about Jesus christ all day everyday, it has changed me and made me soo grateful that I've found the truth and can help others find it as well. 

I love you all and hope you all have another great 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.
