Ahoj everybody!
This week was great
as usual. Lots of contacting, teaching, and we are seeing lots of success! This
mission really is great!
On Tuesday, we
talked to people on the streets all day! We also had one meeting with a guy
that is paralyzed and is stuck in a hospital. It was really cool to visit him
and just talk to him. He isn't a member, but he has a strong testimony and is
really just grateful for the life that he has. It was cool seeing someone so
grateful in such hard circumstances. We also went on 2 more exchanges this week
- one with the zone leaders and one with the other Elders that are serving here
in UH with us. Tuesday night we drove to Brno and I had my exchange there on
Wednesday.
In Brno, we contacted
and taught 3 lessons. Being in a city that is so much bigger is pretty
different. There are so many more people to talk to and so many that haven't
heard the message before. We had the opportunity to teach a girl in Brno from
Brazil. She is so cool and so prepared for the gospel. She loves the Book of
Mormon and testified of it to us. It is awesome when we find people like her
because it really does show that the Lord prepares people.
On Thursday we
had district meeting in Zlín. That night we also went to a member's house and
ate dinner there. They are such and awesome family and the food was great as
well! That night, we started our other exchange.
Friday I was
serving with Elder Croney, an Elder serving here in UH. We had a great
exchange. We found this guy on the street that wanted to hear more so we went
to lunch with him. He has strong faith and loves us. He bought our lunch and
desert for us. Friday night, we visited our investigator who is
committed to baptism later this month and had a great lesson. We taught the
Word of Wisdom and fasting and he agreed to both of them. We are coming up on
his date and he is getting excited and still looks strong!
Saturday was a
regular day. Planning, finding, and then we ended the night with mutual.
Sunday was
great. Testimony meeting was spiritual and the lessons were as well. That night
we went to the guy’s house that Elder Croney and I found on our exchange. We
taught the restoration to him and his wife and they liked it. They asked lots
of good questions and they want to meet again!
This week I was
just reminded of how great a mission is! We work to find those people that are
prepared. Sometimes it may take a while to find them, but they are there. And
when I see how the gospel really changes their lives to the better, I realize
how blessed I am to be out here!
Love you all!
