Blessed City

Whats up! This was my first full week in Plzeň and it has been soo incredible! This place is truly amazing. We were able to have quite a bit of amazing lessons and had a lot of success finding this week. The past year I've been in smaller areas and it's been great, but it's been totally different working in a big area and street contacting here. Soo much different people to talk with

I said bye to elder Rowe on Tuesday morning and trained down to plzen with elder ballsteadt. We are having too much fun. It's been such a good time, and I can't think of like any bad things that have happened This week. Every day we have had like 1 or 2 really good lessons with some pretty awesome people we are teaching. People have started to just say yes to us more on the streets and the lord is truly hastening his work here in Plzeň. 
I've also been blessed with an incredible district and ran a Book of Mormon 5k this morning. It's been a good time. 

This week our mission was trying something called do 2 weeks in the span of 1 week. It was super cool to see our district double in a bunch of aspects of missionary work this first week together. The momentum here is soo great, and I can't wait to see the miracles that happen.

On sunday we were at church and we have 2 new members that were baptized 2 weeks ago. They got pulled out of second hour by the bishop one at a time. And after church we told them that they needed the priesthood to get a temple recommend to go to the temple this week. Then they told us that the bishop just decided to give them both the priesthood during second hour and everything without anybody knowing or joining. It was pretty funny. 
There was tons of other cool stories and things that happened, but ill end with a quote from President Eyring from General Conference about the Baptismal Convenant. 
"As you are faithful to these promises, you will find that the Lord keeps His promise to be one with you in your service, making your burdens light. You will come to know the Savior, and in time you will come to be like Him and “be perfected in him.” By helping others for the Savior, you will find that you are drawing nearer to Him." When we are baptized we covenant to serve others. The lord is with us in our service because we are serving him. I've seen blessings come from that throughout my mission, and I know that Heavenly Father always gives us even more in return. 
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.
