Silvestr Bible A Mladé Boleslavi

Yoo what's up! I hope you are all doing great! It's been a little while and some things have actually been happening so this email will be a little bit better. 
This past week we had the opportunity to read the 4 gospels in a span of 3 days. Last year we read the entire book of mormon and this time we did the gospels and it was awesome! It was super great learning more about Jesus Christ and his teachings while he was on the earth. Definitely learned a lot! 
We also had our Branch Silvestr/New years eve party and that was a really good time. It was fun hanging out with the branch here. They are actually awesome and I'm super grateful for them! 
We had a couple member meals this past week and a half and it's been great because I feel like i have a great relationship with all the members and especially the youth here. They are all studs. 3 of them are preparing for Missions which is wilddd. We were able to go over to the houzarovis home and they have a daughter on a mission. The dad is a little bit inactive and I've only seen him at church twice, 2 out of the past 3 weeks and they are so amazing. It honestly felt like I was Back in America except that they don't speak any English. Also went to another families home and actually got to play some volleyball. 
We have another kid that we are teaching that plays hockey here and he's about 19 years old. He's an absolute beast and has been progressing super well. I really think he will get baptized sometime in the next couple months. He's praying about the Book of Mormon and is coming to church for the first time this next week, so we are praying that everything will go well. 
I guess the last thing is that we got a mid transfer call Saturday night from President Skousen that I'm leaving elder Olson and heading to Mladé Boleslavi to be a ZL in the other zone! I'm Definitely sad to be leaving Třebič and that i don't get to finish elder Olsons training, but im super excited for a change of Pace. It's going to be a great next couple of months. 
Mark 13:11 "But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost." 
Throughout my mission i have seen thus verse working in my service. When I started my mission, i was always so stressed and nervous about what I was going to say when we were teaching somebody or on the streets or something. Now i feel like whenever I'm in a conversation, when I truly listen to what the person is saying, the Holy Ghost always provides me with something to say. That could be because I've gotten a lot better at czech since starting my mission, but I also know that when we Rely on the Holy Ghost, he will bring to our thoughts what we need to say at each given time. 
I love you all and hope you have a great week and an awesome new year!

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...
