This
week was a weird one. It felt like we were in Prague so much! We had a
training on Tuesday in Prague and then we had district conference on
Sunday. There was a seventy that came and spoke. Also they changed the
district presidency so it was pretty weird. After all that time in
Prague it was good to come back to Plzen.
I'm
really starting to love it here. Which is new because when I first got
here I had no idea what I was doing and I didn't like that much. But now
I can say that Plzen has become one of my favorite areas purely for the
fact that I've done the most changing here. It's weird but I've learned
a lot about what it means to love someone purely for the fact that they
are your brother or sister in the gospel. All this probably means that
next week I am getting transferred to a new city, but I am excited for
it. I'm excited to kill it for the 6 months I have left. (I CANNOT
BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN A MISSIONARY FOR A YEAR!) "The last 6 months are
your time to shine"-The District :)))
Other
than that we had a pretty great week. Simona and the girls are excited
for baptism. They still aren't 100 % sure about the 19th, but in our
last lesson they asked who would baptize them and what they will wear
and just were awesome about it.
We also started teaching a
members girlfriend this week. They are both really really nice. They are
a little hard to understand because they are slovak but we are excited.
They are totally going to be the next Jackie and Caleb (I don't know
why I am referencing the District so much in this e-mail, but there you
go) We are excited to teach them.
We also had a way cool
experience yesterday. It was pretty much the best weather the Czech
Republic has seen in like 6 months so after we got home from Prague we
decided to walk everywhere. We walked to a less-actives house and
contacted on the way. She was really sick and sleeping so she didn't let
us in. It was sad, but we still had an hour until we needed to be home
so we contacted home and found this way cool kid! He had time right then
so we sat down on a bench and talked about the Book of Mormon and set
up to meet again.
It's cool because we had the
goal of two new investigators and we really didn't know how we were
going to do it but we got them on Saturday and Sunday night. It's just
cool how God rewards our righteous desires.
It
was way awesome because we had a sister's devotional before district
conference and the seventies daughter (who coincidentally served her
mission in my mission presidents ward where he was the bishop before he
became mission president) spoke to us about righteous desires. And the
new investigators had been on our mind all week. She talked about how
God really does want to help us but we have to give him everything!!! I
can testify that it feels so good when you know you have done everything
you possibly can. When you fall into bed exhausted because you worked
so hard that day. It's probably the best feeling ever! I'm so glad I get
to be a missionary. It's the best ever! I'm glad I get to change and I
get to help people do the same because I know that when we change to
become closer to Christ we just feel so much better.
Fiera is such a cutie!!! Thanks for the pics!!! I can't believe I have 2 nieces that I've never met!!! It's freaking me out!!!
