Whats up! I hope you all had an awesome Easter! It's crazy, I didn't realize this last year, but i think everybody in the czech republic celebrates Easter on a Monday. The streets are completely empty today and everybody has all of their Easter whips out if they are on the streets. It's pretty cool. 
This week i was genuinely soo exhausted haha. By the time it got to Saturday I woke up feeling like a bus hit me. This week started off pretty normal and me and Elder Rowe started off strong. Then on Wednesday we headed to Brno for in person MLC. Straight from there we went to Pdub and i head an exchange with Elder Lawrence, my comp for 15 weeks when I was in Prague. We had a great time and talked to some cool people that said they have interest. It was a good time. 
The rest of the week me and Elder Rowe were going crazy trying to hit some of our goals and we saw some pretty cool miracles come from it. We did some fun service on Saturday for some members and helped them with some yard work and moving some pretty big rocks. They fed us some super good food. On Easter we had an hour long church and me and Elder Rowe gave the talks. Then the rest of the day was completely free to go street contacting and do missionary work. We ended up getting a lesson set up with a guy we met on Monday. He told us that he was a Jehovahs Witness, so we thought it was going to be a pretty rough lesson, but thought we would see how willing he is to change and stuff. We ended up having a really good lesson, and he took a Book of Mormon and will hopefully start reading it. It was a pretty solid week. 
Alma 37:36-37 were a big answer to my prayers this past week. I was reading them and it was exactly what i needed to hear. 
"Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. 7 And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls."
God really does work by very small means to bring about his great and eternal purposes. Looking back at my life and my mission, all of the small moments have shaped me to who I am today. He knows and loves us more than we know. I love you all! Have a 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.
