Basketball < Floorball + Hockey

Whats up Everybody! This week was pretty solid, first week since the mid transfers. Me and Elder Rowe had the whole week to just grind and get the area going a bit. I definitely saw the Lord helping us in many different ways during the first week together. 
I'll start off with our boy named Lukáš! Lukáš is a 17 year old kid and he is soo awesome! We had one of the coolest lesson ever on Friday. We had our new member from my last area in Třebič join the video call with our friend Lukáš. It made me soo happy to see the growth in Honza(the new member) since I taught him a couple months ago. In a span of 4 months, his life has completely changed, and it was made possible through soo many miracles. In our lesson I got to hear his testimony of baptism, and me and Elder Rowe were able to put Lukáš on Bap date for May 3rd! It was soo powerful and a lot more miracles need to happen for him to hit that bap date, so please say some extra prayers for him. A funny part of that lesson was that Honza plays hockey and Lukáš plays florbal (hockey without ice), and they were cooking me for liking basketball. They are already homies which is a big blessing. 
The rest of the week was pretty normal, we were able to find quite a bit of people this week that wanted to meet up, but none of those lesson went through. So we are still working on finding some other cool people. 
I also had the chance to watch some of General Conference! I have literally been looking forward to it for the past 6 months. 
There are soo many different quotes i could write about, but the one i wanted to focus on was from Elder Holland, the very first talk of General Conference. He said, "Is there anything sweeter, more pure, or more humble than a child at prayer? It is as if heaven is in the room."
I've always tried to imagine what imagine to humble myself as a little child. The scriptures says something along the lines of that multiple times. Elder Holland put it into a perfect perspective that I really loved. When children pray, it is soo pure and real. I don't know why that eventually goes away, but i know that as we humble ourselves and pray with purity to our heavenly father who is there, peace and joy will be more fully in our lives! 

Have another incredible week! Miss and love you all tons!

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...
