Referal From God

We had some good stuff happening this week. Me and my comp have noticed that we have been finding a lot of people this transfer but the problem is that we never see a lot of them ever again. We've been really trying to push getting as many lessons as possible in a week. Our first week this transfer we had 7 and this past week we had 11, so it's been going pretty good. 

This week we had a couple of good lessons with our friend Natalia. We were really hoping to put her on date this week and we had a lot of really good talks about it with her. She still doesn't feel ready yet, and is scared for the huge change in her life. We still had one of the greatest lessons ever with her and a super awesome member joined the lesson. The spirit was super strong and a lot of tears were shed in that lesson haha. She's still progressing super well and I have a super strong feeling that she will get baptized sometime soon. She's awesome. 

Another guy named Roman is a 40/50 year old man and i don't know if I've met anybody that knows Jesus christ and the Bible more than he does. We gave him a restoration pamphlet to study a couple weeks ago and in a lesson this week he showed up and I've never seen anything marked up soo much. He STUDIED that thing. He's come to church the past couple weeks and if he keeps coming and studying from scriptures and stuff, I know he will find the truth that tbe gospel brings. 

I had a grest exchange with elder nelson this past week in his small town of Jičín. It's crazy that two 19 year old boys from the same highschool in Gilbert Arizona spent a day sharing the gospel in a town of 17000 people in the middle of czech republic. The crazier part is that as we were contacting on the streets there we starting talking to a couple girls about our age. About 5 minutes into the conversation I asked if they spoke English and one of them replied that she lived in America for half a year. I said where and she said Tempe Arizona. Me and Elder Nelson looked at each other completely shocked and we started making some super cool connections with her. It was the first time I've ever met somebody that has lived in Arizona out here in czechia. We scheduled another meeting with her so that could be awesome. 

One of the other coolest parts of the week is that my boys elder olson and Rowe baptised Honza back in Třebič. Me and Elder olson found Honza in the middle of Třebič after one of our lessons cancelled. We started talking with Honza and he originally told us he didn't want to meet. We kept talking with him and it was an awesome conversation and we were able to exchange contacts. Then after a little more testifying we gave him a Book of Mormon and got a 10 minute phone call set up with him. I walked away from that convo and told elder olson that he was the coolest and most elect person I've ever talked with on the street. That 10 minute call turned into an hour and 10 minutes and 2 and half months later he was baptised. It brought me soo much joy to hear about that. 

My spiritual thought for this week comes from elder Palmer and also Come follow me from this week. "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;". Elder palmer told us that every single person we walk by on the streets is a refferal from our heavenly Father. Every single person we walk past, is us telling our heavenly father that they aren't worth it and not good enough in our eyes. That is soo true and soo powerful, because every soul is great in God's eyes so the worth of every soul needs to be great in our sight as well. 

I love you all! Have a blessed 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. Sup...
