I
don't think I have ever talked to as many people in my life. I'm
talking trams, trains, streets, restaurants. EVERYONE. Everyone in the
city of Plzen is going to know that I, Sister Bruno, am a missionary of
the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, at least. What I have
figured out is that is the best way to do missionary work. YOU TALK TO
EVERYONE. and then sometimes you get rejected so hard. And then later in
the day you see them walking down the street, or riding in a tram and
you contact them again and you get their number. It's the double
contact... works every time!!!
If
you are wondering about Simona and the girls... THEY HAVE A BAPTISMAL
DATE!!! April 19th.It was such a good lesson. The only thing is that
Simona is pretty shaky about it and she came to church this week but
didn't bring the girls and now isn't setting up with us and her mom is
really really sick right now so she has to take care of her too.
Saaaadddd. But it's okay. We are having a branch activity this week and
she said she would come with the girls so hopefully we can talk with
them there. Plus we have an in with one of the ladies in the branch
because they are best friends. So pretty much they are doing good...
just a few snags here and there.
As
for Carolina... she dropped us. Skoda It was really sad. She texted and
said that she was Catholic and would always be Catholic. We think that
she probably talked about meeting with us to her family. It's okay. One
day she will remember what we talked about and I hope it will bring her
comfort to know that there is more.
That
is the best part about being a member of the Bhurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. THERE IS ALWAYS MORE! I think before my mission that
stressed me out. But know I realize how great it is and how many
opportunities it gives us. But mostly it just gives me faith that there
are better things to come. And I don't really know what they are, but
God does and he knows me and he knows what things I need.
We
had a really good week finding. We found 2 new investigators that have a
TON of potential. One of them has met with missionaries before and is
still reading the Book of Mormon!!! and the other is this way cool lady
that we contacted at like 8:45 at night right outside our apartment. We
were about to go inside but we decided to talk to her right before she
got on the bus. She is so cool. She is evangelical but said she still
has questions. We talked about the Book of Mormon and she said that she
had always thought that there was more to the Bible. WAY COOL. The only
problem is that she really loves her other church and said that it is
like a family to her. But she wants to meet again!
Basically
I'm just super pumped for this week. I'm excited to talk to everyone. I
don't feel afraid anymore and it's a great feeling. I just have so much
trust that if I talk to as many people as I possibly can that God will
trust me enough to put prepared people in my path. Isn't it just so
great that we have a Heavenly Father who knows us SO WELL. We watched a
mormon message this last week and at the end it said "Of all the titles
of respect and honor and admiration that are given to deity, he has
asked us to call him father." quorum of the 12 apostles. It's a great
month to be a missionary.
