I
won't lie, fam, this week was a buttkicker. The lovebug must have been
in the air because people were just not showing up to the meetings that
we set. Other than that it was good. We taught Tomas again. He is the
sweetest old man on the planet. And it's hilarious because he tries to
act like he isn't, but then when he prays during our lessons he thanks
God for sending us to him... we still haven't really talked about
baptism because he is hard-core catholic, but we plan to talk to him
about whether or not he is Catholic by tradition or by choice. Most
people here believe what they believe because of their parents. Which is
weird to me because so many people pride themselves on being
"individuals" but then when we ask why they aren't believes 9 times out
of 10 it has to do with how they grew up. SO I just want to take this
time to say THANK YOUUUUUU to my wonderful family who taught me about
God. And who taught me not to take their word for it, but to find out
myself. I just want so badly for all of these people to know what I
know. They would LOVE it too. Anyway just wanted to say, I love you all
sooooooo much!
Speaking of
individuals, we met a lot of those this week. :) One of them brought my
companion chocolate on Valentine's Day. bahahahah. We had to give him to
the Elders... but it was definitely a journal moment. We also taught
the WAYYYY cool guy named Daniel. Unfortunetely he gave us every excuse
in the book for why he couldn't meet even though he was clearly feeling
the spirit. Sad day. BUT he said he would call after he read Alma 32, if
it interested him... Since I know how powerful the scriptures are, I
know he will call... if he actually read and had sincere interest like
he said he would. Basically I know how ready Plzen is to explode, but
for some reason something is missing... we will find it.
PLUS
Simona came to church again this week!!! She is the one with the 3
daughters... But she won't set up to meet with us :( It's so weird
because this usually does NOT happen. Usually it is us begging our
investigators to come to church and not the other way around. Plans are
being made to rectify the situation. Haha. If you have any ideas let me
know. It's a tough one.
Plzen
has definitely been good for me. I think I have learned more things
about myself and how the world really works here then anywhere/any time
in my whole life. But I think the one thing that sticks out the most is
that I have undoubtly, with a surety learned that God loves his
children. Me and you and all our investigators and our friends and every
one. SO. MUCH. Even if it is hard to recognize. I think that I am in
store for another tough transfer, but I'm looking forward to it.
Happy Valentine's Day. Love you love you love you!!!
