Watermelon And Prague

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 talking two these two kids eating some watermelon next to this big river. Out of nowhere some dude comes flying on a skateboard and falls headfirst into the dirt. Immediately the dude we were talking with looked at us and said, that guy isn't a believer. It was brutal. Also had a super cool miracle of finding a guy that my comp used to teach in his old area. It's like 4 hours away. But pretty much this guy lost his job and got to our area on Friday. And somehow we ran into him in the middle of a random part of Pilsen. He was on bap date in his old area, so if he stays in pilsen we will start teaching him. Also had some pretty mean people talking with us this week, one dude was yelling at us to take off our nice clothes and everything and go home. Pretty ruthless. We talked to this girl with pearcinigs all over her face and tattoos literally everywhere. She is looking to find a better relationship with God and could be the most elect person ever. We will see what happens with her this week.
"And whatsoever they shall speak when moved upon by the Holy Ghost shall be scripture, shall be the will of the Lord, shall be the mind of the Lord, shall be the word of the Lord, shall be the voice of the Lord, and the power of God unto salvation." D&C 68:4
This is a powerful scripture that I was reading recently. In my interview with president everton, he talked a lot about promised blessings. This scripture is exactly that. When in tune with the spirit and with faith, God can speak through us to work miracles. I know that to be true
I love you all! Have a good week!

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. 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...
