Ahoj!
We had a great week
here in Uherské Hradiště! Hope you all had a great week as well!
On Tuesday, we had
district meeting in Zlín and we always do group finding with the other Elders
that are serving there. This time, because it has gotten warmer, we did
something called a chalk display. We went to a busy part in the city and drew
out the plan of salvation on the sidewalk. It was huge! And then we contacted
people that were walking by and we walked them through the plan of salvation
and explained it to them. It was really cool to see how well that worked!
We tracted a lot this
week in different little villages outside the town. We are lucky that we have
the car here and are able to travel out to smaller cities to tract. One day
when we were tracting, it started to dump rain. And right when it started
raining hard, we knocked on a door of a family of 6. They saw the rain and
invited us in until it passed. It was crazy with all their little kids, but we
taught a little about the Book of Mormon and set up a return visit.
We had another awesome
sports night on Saturday! 12 people came and it was a pretty good game of
soccer! I hadn't played that hard in a long time! We also did service for a few
people this week. We weeded in somebody’s back yard and we also painted some
rails on a deck sort of a thing.
Sunday was
awesome! We had a multi-stake conference broadcast from Salt Lake. We texted a
few less actives about it and 2 of them came! Since coming here 5 months ago, I
haven't heard a single thing from either of these people and they both showed
up to church yesterday! It was really cool. We set up with them and are hoping
to help them back to activity in the church. Also, this last week, a lot of
callings were filled in the stake. It was really cool to hear people be called
as bishops and presidents of various organizations and wards here in the Czech
Republic. We got to hear the stake president speak again and it was just
exciting to see that the Czech Republic is working under Czech leaders. This
country is awesome!
This next week should
be great as well! Congrats to everybody that is out of school for the summer!
Love you all!

other tidbits of information taken from Elder Shirley’s personal email to us}
My companion is great!
The Czech language is coming along great as well. I feel really good about it,
but I realize that I have no chance at being "fluent". But I
understand most of what people are saying now. It improves slowly every day!
Investigators are few right now, but we just got in contact with a few less
actives which is good news!
