Week 88 Or Something As A Missionary

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. Super great! We went straight from there to an exchnage up in Liberec and I had an awesome exchange with elder Dangerfield. We worked super hard and found a good amount of people. I learned a lot and then got home and had to work even harder because our area was taking a big hit. Honestly was really exhausted by the end of the week. 
We ended the week singing in a Choir in a beautiful city called Hradec Králové. Super good time. Other than that, the mission is flying by. This transfer will be over before I know it. Still working hard to find some more progressing friends. Our really cool 17 year old friend is off date for now, but we are still teaching him and hope things start to work out perfectly. Natalie is still doing great, just needs some more time and answers to her prayers. Extra prayers would be appreciated. 
"As we diligently seek to have charity and virtue fill our lives, our confidence in approaching God will increase. I invite you to take intentional steps to grow in your confidence before the Lord." - President Nelson. Our confidence before God will increase as we grow in our charity and Virtue. I know that Jesus christ is a great example for us to follow when we read scriptures. I also know that we can learn from every prophet in the Book of Mormon about how to grow in our confidence in approaching God. I know that God is confident in his love for us, we need to work on our love for him and also for others. That is what is needed from us right now as we prepare to live with him again. I love you all and hope you have an incredible 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 ...
