Whats up! Wow it's been a good week and a couple of days. Last Saturday all of the czech missionaries got to go to Karlštejn which is a huge castle and it's where are mission was dedicated for proselytizing missionaries. It was a great experience to be with everybody. This week was pretty wild. As a companionship we set some incredibly high goals and we were able to accomplish a lot of them. This past week was the most people I've ever found in one week on my mission, it was amazing to see how God was working his hand in each one of those contacts that we were having.  We had 4 amazing friends come to church which is the most I've seen in a long time. They are all men that are about 40 years old and they are all progressing really well towards wanting to be baptized.  We have had some pretty crazy encounters with people this past week. Whether it was an absolutely crazy dude pushing us and trying to fight us or a completely normal looking mom looking at us and straight ...

I really don't have too much time to write, but I have p day today and won't another p day for about 10 days. This week was long but awesome. We had quite a bit of really amazing lessons with people.  This transfer I have had some of the most spiritual lessons of my mission. We have been emphasizing testifying and promising blessings and have seen miracles coming from it. This past week we had 4 first lessons with people and all of them have a desire to be baptized. It's been really cool teaching the gospel of Jesus christ to a persons need and showing them how the Atonement of Jesus Christ can apply to their need through Baptism and the gift of the holy ghost.  I'm a little sad that I won't get to see many of these people progress, but it's been super cool to see them start their journey back to Heavenly Father and help them start the process of change.  We had one specific lesson with a girl named Eliška. This girl has had a crazy past life. She has stopped do...

Today we have a conference with the young men's general president, Elder Lund, so my pday got switched from next Monday to today.  It's been 3 days since my last email but some super cool things have happened. I went back to Mladá boleslav on Wednesday and had a really good time there with my old companion. We actually talked to a lot of really cool people and it was awesome. I also learned a lot about the power of promising blessings and how much that changes a conversation.  The last two days in Plzeň have been super good! It feels like things are starting to pick up speed again and it's awesome! Earlier this week we were contacting and I talked with a kid. He was super cool and I've talked with him before. He didn't have interest but i asked if he knew anybody that did. He gave us his friends number and so we called him and set up a lesson with his friend. His friend showed up to the lesson and It was incredible. We were able to talk all about the gospel of Jesus...

Whats up! My pday got switched to Tuesday this week. My next two pdays will both be o. Saturday so things are kinda crazy. I've spent today in Prague for my comps visa and it's been awesome coming back and touring the city.  This week was pretty good. I went back to cbud where I served for 6 months and got to have a good exchange. We had nothing on the schedule so we spent about 7 hours just walking the streets. It was a long but good day. After working with them for a little bit we went back to our area and had a good week.  The past couple of weeks all of our friends have been dropping. At the start of June we had about 10 people we were teaching that looked like they could progress pretty well, but some crazy stuff like broken knees, parents saying no, some people moving out of the country and other stuff happened and a lot has changed. It's been good tho, we've just spent a lot more time finding and trying to get more lessons with people.  This week we also were tal...
