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 doing drugs, she has tatoos all over her body and piercings everywhere, but the past couple of months she has started to change her life. This week decided that she was completely done smoking and vaping and then we had a lesson with her and talked about baptism. We invited her to be baptized and she was soo excited and said that it was exactly what she needed to grow her relationship with Heavenly Father. Unfortunately she moved to Switzerland yesterday, but it was amazing to be part of. 
"O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm." 2 Nephi 4:34
Going into this transfer I was soo excited to see what could happen in this area with a great comp. After the first couple of weeks, we found quite a bit of people that had soo much potential, but everything changed and they all disappeared. It was a little bit frustrating, but i know that God needed me to learn something else than what I wanted. The last couple of weeks, I have learned some incredible things, and I've been able to trust the lord and learn soo much. Things are starting to pick up again and im soo grateful. I won't be here to see all of the success and everything, but it's been soo cool to be part of it and see the Lord work through us and put some amazing people in our paths. 
I love you all, send me and email if you want and I'll see you all soon!

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. Sup...

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 week was great! Tuesday and Wednesday were honestly pretty long days and we got a little wrecked street contacting. We didn't have too many lessons, but it was fun. Ever since school got out, it's been a little different finding and there hasn't been as many people willing to talk with us. We still found some pretty cool people tho.  Thursday we went to our bishops garden. Him and his wife are awesome. She picked flowers off of a bush and dipped them in potato sauce and grilled them on the campfire. It was pretty interesting and I probably wouldn't ever eat it again. But we had a good czech BBQ and that was awesome.  Friday was super awesome because we had our last Zone Conference with president and sister skousen! They are some of the greatest people on this planet and I am soo lucky to have served with them the past 20 months of my life. Their examples have truly changed my life and I will forever be grateful for them. The biggest thing I learned from them is how...
