Ahoj!
This week was full of a lot of different experiences. I am learning so much
each day simply about life. How much every action matters and every thought
counts. That we need to strive to be loving, and that as we do so, we will
experience the best kind of happiness. I am also learning to go with the
flow and to try and make the best of every situation, which is a good thing
to do too!
So we had a little bit of nice fun time playing beach volley ball with some
English teachers, it was good to get out in the sun and get to know people.
The Czechs are amazing people and so fun to be around! That same night we
visited an investigator who we have not seen in a little while. We helped
her daughter with English and then we helped her with math. I was wondering
when we were going to get to the teaching point. After a visit to their
garden, I found how much of a virtue patience is. God blessed us and she
took the wheel and started talking about how much she needed God and and
she asked if she could pray for us! We said yes!!! It was awesome to see
His hand in the work and how guided she was. We set up to meet with her and
have a lesson for this week!
We also had the opportunity to teach one of our investigators about
temples. That lesson was very special to my heart, since I had the
opportunity to serve in the House of the Lord at the Seattle Temple. We
testified of Gods love for us and the amazing things that take place in His
home and can bind us together as families for eternities. It is a part of
His plan. It was very nice to feel the Spirit working through my heart as I
spoke each work to him.
We also had the opportunity to do a service project. Czechs love their
gardens here and they are hugeeee!!! They will spend all day working in
them everyday in the summer. One member in our ward just bought some new
property. We spent four hours cutting branches and in the end even though
it did not look like we did much, I was filled with love of charity when I
saw his big smile thanking us for the work that we had done. Service is
such a great way to have joy!!
Yesterday we also met with a very sweet old lady. She does not believe in
God, but she loves how she feels when she comes to church and when she is
around people who carry the spirit. We had a very cool discussion with her
and I was able to tell her some very special experiences that I hold close
to my heart that I have had on my mission. At first I was nervous to tell
her, but I felt a prompting to. The spirit warmed my heart.
I have a testimony that God lives and that He is with us through His Holy
Spirit. And he will guide us every step of the way. My mom sent me a letter
a couple weeks ago and shared with me her testimony that the Savior will
walk with us every step up the way, we need only ask. I know that He is
there.
We sang a song yesterday in church that was very simple and made a profound
impact on me:
že v nebi otce mám
že mě miluje to vim od ducha svatého a tak to pravda je
mě na svět poslal bych kračel tady s Nim to uči nim
I have a Father in Heaven
That loves me and I know this from the Holy Ghost and He tells me it is true
I sent me to earth and walks beside me here with Him I learn of Him
2 Nephi 4:16-21 is a beautiful section about an experience that each of us
can have. I know that we can be filled with His love through any
circumstance. Like Thomas S Monson said, His love is simply just always
there.
Have a wonderful week!
S laskou
