Last One

Whats up! This is officially my last email. Right now I'm on a train heading to prague for my final interview with my mission president. This last week was really good. We were able to have 5 of our friends come to church and a couple of them came for their first time. Things just keep picking up here and it's been super great to see. I had my last zone conference this week and gave my dying testimony. It was pretty surreal, but also soo cool to see the change in the missionaries that were in the MTC with me. We have all grown a lot over the past 2 years and it's been amazing to see what a mission can do for a person when they consecrate their life to help others come unto Christ. 
I want to end this email with my testimony and things that I have learned over the past two years of my life. The past 2 years have truly been super hard, but soo rewarding. Through some of the hardest times, I was able to grow my testimony the most. I know that God knows and loves each of us individually. I have felt his love over and over again throughout my mission. I know he puts people in our path when we need it at the perfect time. I also know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and our Savior. It's impossible for me to put into words how much the Atonement of Jesus Christ means to me. Hid Atonement gives me a purpose, strength, hope, and soo many other things. He suffered so that I don't have to suffer. He died and was resurrected so that i can be resurrected. I know that the book of mormon is the word of God. I have spent time in the Book of Mormon every day of my mission. Each page in the book of mormon has power behind it. It was written by a prophet of God so that we can come closer to God in today's day. I know that this church is true and that we can live with our loving Heavenly Father again because of the saving Ordinances that come with it. All of this I know to be true and soo much more, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

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...
