Listen

Ahoj!

Another week come and gone in Mláda Boleslav. Things are going good here.
People are being prepared and I really am seeing the Lords hands in the
work.

This week was very humbeling. I have learned that you do not need to speak
perfectly to share love. We had a few concerns come up from people that
were teaching and I found myself just silently praying my heart out to
Heavenly Father to help me in that needed moment. Sometimes answers do not
come immediately, but as you are patient, they really do come. I saw it in
multiple ways: a peace flowing over the room, a calm rememberance of a good
scripture to share, and sometimes the prompting to just be still and really
listen. That is the key. To LISTEN. We are not alone, and we will be guided
and comforted in our times of need.

We also got to meet with an amazing older couple in our ward. We brought
them cinnamon rolls and they loved them! Funny things that we take for
granted in America. Anywho that was a sidenot. He is the only Czech temple
sealer. When the church was just really starting up in the country the few
members would gather at their home for a meeting. We got to have a lesson
with them on not fearing, because the Lord is there and will help us
accomplish all tasks. That was one of the most spiritual rooms I have ever
been in. I felt so much love and peace.

Also last Sunday we saw a mom with a really cute little boy and decided to
go talk to her. 40 minutes later we set up an appointment to talk more
about how her family could be blessed by the gospel. It was one of the most
amazing lessons I have ever had. She was so open and eager to learn. We
established really good expectations and she could not stop smiling. That
made my heart so happy. That sounds cheesy but it is true! Seeing someone
that is so willing to accept and act on things. I know that this joy will
bless her and her little family, and I am really looking forward to what
will come with her.

We also met with some hippies, they were really cool. We met in a ground
squirrel park. It was a very interesting meeting. They were super nice!

On Sunday we had lunch with a really sweet older member in Jičín. She loves
the church. She fed us SO MUCH. I could not move afterwards. Then we met
again with a member that night and had a bunch of fish and icecream. Lets
just say I was full of both food and the spirit that day. I have come to
find that even in hard times, there is good that can be found in every
thing. You just have to be willing to build on it.

There was a talk given in general conference last fall from a former
washington mission president. He said sometimes you just have to drink it.
The missionaries were like oh no it is raining! But he smiled and told them
you just have to look up and be grateful for what you have. I have learned
that was we act on these good things and look for them and seek and listen
to them, that is when we will find true happiness.

3 Nephi 11 We read verse 3 with a member and compared it to recognizing the
voice of the Spirit,

And it came to pass that while they were thus conversing one with another,
they heard a voice as if it came out of heaven; and they cast their eyes
round about, for they understood not the voice which they heard; and it was
not a harsh voice, neither was it a loud voice; nevertheless, and
notwithstanding it being a small voice it did pierce them that did hear to
the center, insomuch that there was no part of their frame that it did not
cause to quake; yea, it did pierce them to the very soul, and did cause
their hearts to burn.

t I know that as we are patient and listen for the still small voice we
will feel a burning in our hearts. Act on it. Good comes from doing good!

Have a great week!
