Foreigners + Reunited

We had another great week here in Mladá Boleslav. I had some pretty cool experiences with some cool missionaries this week. On Monday and Tuesday i was blessed to be with elder perets, a missionary from ukraine. It was a lot different working with him than a normal companion from Utah but it was a cool experience. We had a lesson with a 17 year old kid we are teaching here and I invited him to be baptized and he is praying about it now. Really awesome kid and i hope he continues to progress over these next couple of weeks. Straight from that exchange I headed over to prague for an exchange with elder siddal from England. He is soo awesome and the exchange was incredible! Their area is taking off rn, but on our exchange we had like 5 hours of contacting planned and only one lesson. We had such a good time and one of the best lessons I've had in a while with their friend. It was super spiritual and she was soo grateful to meet with us. It was an amazing couple of days of exchanges. 
The rest of the week we got back to work grinding here in Mladá Boleslav. Had some other good lessons as well, one other friend still praying about baptism, but still doesn't feel quite ready. She's awesome tho, and has come to church every week since i got here. Other big news is that we had mid transfers this week and my mtc comp elder Rowe will be coming to join me out here in mlada boleslav. We are gonna have a lot of fun and it's going to be such a good time. I can't wait to see what happens over the next couple of weeks. 
Alma 26:11-12, "But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God. 12 Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."
Here's two really great scriptures from my studies this week. It's been awesome to study more of Ammon the past week and a half and just how that relates to missionary work. All day long, I have the opportunity to boast of My God. No matter what others think about it, I know He loves them. We can turn to him whenever we need to. 
I hope you all have a great week! Love you guys!

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.
