Winegar, Hayden

Another week down here in Cbud and it was so long haha, but we saw some crazy blessings and Miracles. I've been waiting for some of these big blessings and we finally got some so that's awesome. I think I've learned that every week in this area is going to be long and hard but I'm learning to search for those little blessings every day. But it was still a pretty solid week soo… Monday pros time was actually so fire. I usually hate it cause most of the time we are just outside for like 2 hours and then Calling people or something for the other hour. This time we had a lesson and it went really well and then on the way back I saw some people movIng into their apartment. I went and asked them if we could help and they gave me a quick no. And then I kinda laughed and was like bro why not??? And then the other dude was like bro just let them help haha. So for about 45 minutes we helped this family of like 15 people move into an apartment that would've taken like 3 hours ...

Dang, this was one of the hardest and longest weeks ever. But we worked super hard and did see a couple miracles and blessings so that's what I'll write about! Monday we went to the coolest castle ever. It was hugeee and was also super pretty all around it. One of the coolest places I've been to so far. That night we hit the streets for a couple hours and started our week of grinding haha.  Tuesday we played badminton against a dude that was on a pro badminton team here. I never thought I would do that and I got really humbled. Bro was absolutely Insane. The rest of the day was literally just finding, had a few good convos but nothing too crazy.  Wednesday we went to our boi ctibors house. This dude is really struggling with his health and he got baptized About 10 years ago. We shared a quick spiritual thought with him. Then We went to this place called The Hub which is actually a Jesus Club. We taught this one dude the gospel of Jesus Christ and it went really good. He did...

This week was absolutely packed with highs and lows. This is going to be a really long email so I apologize in advance. I have a lot of extra time today so i'm gonna write quite a bit. Some pretty cool stories tho if you skip down a bit. It was crazy and I'm low key exhausted but I'll just get right into it.  Monday we had a lit pday. P days are a lot different in this area cause we are always just by ourselves haha. I used to spend every p day with 6 or 8 other missionaries and now it's just me and my comp going to some cool castles in the middle of nowhere. This past p day It was a really cool castle and it was insanely pretty. It was super nice to just like chill, it's super pretty here in the spring time so it was incredible.  Tuesday was a straight up GRIND. Our day was completely empty except for a member meal at 7 at night. I was praying for some type of miracle cause i knew it was gonna be a really rough day haha. We contacted on the streets for about 4 hour...

I had a pretty solid week with General Conference, Zone Conference and i got to run up some exchanges also. We had our pday in another area about 2 hours away so it was great to be with some other missionaries for the day. Then I hit up an exchange on Tuesday with Elder Folkman! He's super cool and we worked really hard. Did a lot of street contacting with not too much success but we learned a lot together so it was great. We were outside for around 3 or 4 hours and got one person's contact. She was really cool, just still hasn't answered our texts or calls unfortunately. We had some really good talks so it was lit.  Our train got really delayed about an hour into it cause a tree fell on the tracks so we had to hop on a bus for like 20 minutes. We met this one dude who is super cool and talked to him for about 40 minutes. He loves sports but is not interested in the gospel. We will see tho.  Wednesday and Thursday were just straight up working hard days and we had a lesson ...

My first week in Čbud was really long and slow but also pretty good at the same time. Its gonna take me a few weeks to get used to my new area. Its so much different and was low key really hard when I first got here. It's gotten a lot better now and we are working really hard so it's exciting.  It was crazy cause on p day I usually see about 10 other missionaries and hang out with them all day but I couldn't do that this past week. We chilled by ourselves because the closest missionaries are 2 hours away. We went to a castle and it was closed so that was a bummer but it was a chill day.  Tuesday we had a really good first restoration lesson with a new friend. We don't know how interested she is but it was cool to see how I can finally teach a pretty solid lesson in czech. Its taken about 6 months but I'm seeing a lot of progress and studying harder than I've ever studied haha. We are working super hard With inactive members here. We have about 10 active members ...

Welp we had transfers this week and I'm out of Prague! Low key kinda sad but it was time for me to go and experience another area. The difference is crazy and I've gotta get used to it. I went from being surrounded by 10 missionaries, plus the mission presidents family and another senior companionship all day every day. And now I'm chillin by myself with my comp 2 hours away from any other missionary in a town in the south of Czechia. We had 12 people at church which was a pretty good amount so it's just completely different. It's a beautiful town but we are just outside a lot of the day and trying to make good use of our time always instead of just on the streets for 5 straight hours.  Other than that it's fire here, it's a lot of other missionaries favorite area so that's exciting. My last couple days in Prague were really good. We had some great lessons with people and it was awesome. I said bye to some of the people I've come close with and my la...

Last full week in Prague, probably. We have transfers this week so our 15 week long transfer is coming to an end. It's been so long but it's been amazing. Prague is the best and I'm going to miss it. I'm excited for something new tho.  This week was pretty cool, we did some service Tuesday morning. We drove an hour away to give a Ukrainian member a fridge and she lived in the coolest little town ever. It was out of like a Fairy tale with a big church with like a big pít and some sheep in the pit. It was actually so pretty. We went to lunch with our new baptized friend Peter and he took us to a really good restaurant so that was really nice of him. He's doing really good and is already such a solid member!  Wednesday we drove up to Brno for MLC. That was fire and we got to talk about a lot of cool things. It's always cool to be in on those meetings. That next day we had exchanges with the ZLs back in Prague. That was one of the best exchanges Ever because I was w...
