Ahoj!
What a wonderful crazy week it was. I really do live the words in the hymn,
I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me. It is incredibible. I am
literally living the life of acting as His hands and seeing blessings of
His children being blessed. It is the best thing I could ever ask for.
So we were actually not in our area a whole bunch this week. We were
visiting other areas, had some meetings, ward activities, and general
conference! Which was great by the way! So finding was a little bit
pressured.
There was one day where nothing went as planned, and it was also very cold
and rainy. We were turned away all day, and things may not have seemed that
bright. I really felt like Heavenly Father had one person for us to find
that day though. So as dinner time rolled around, and we were finishing up
some phone calls, I had the thought come to my mind that we needed to go
outside. It was already dark and no one was on the streets. But the thought
got stronger and stronger. I told my companion, just five minutes. We said
a pray and headed out the door. Looked down both ways of the street and no
one. It was a little discouraging. We waited a moment and then saw a person
walk across the street. We stopped and they actually did not appear to be
that comfortable talking with us, but they stayed. In the end of this
confused athiests conversion, we exchanged numbers to plan on a meeting in
the future. How cool. God is preparing people I thought. But we still did
not set up with any one. We waited a moment, still with joy that we had met
someone who had potential interest, and then another person crossed the
street. Turns out they had lived in America and had heard of Mormons. We
told him that was us! We had a very friendly uplifting conversation and set
up with him for this week. I was blown away. I knew that God would bless us
with someone. And He did.
We had a meeting with a young man this week. Normally we teach half English
and then we introdue the gospel to him the other half. It was so cool
because he told us that he had tried praying! We promised him last time
that it would help, and he said that it did. Then he shared a saying with
us in Czech nevěřici tomaš which is like nonbeliever thomas or maybe
doubting thomas. He told us that is something that he does not want to be.
How amazing!!! He is already finding a desire to beleive in God!
We also had a fabulous meeting in a cafe with a new investigator. After I
had made a very big mixup in czech, saying that we could not go there and
meet because it was a Sunday, I was so convinced that we were on Sunday,
but really it was Saturday. After I figured out why he kept on saying I
dont understand you, we were able to happily keep going with things! It
was our second lesson with him. We asked him if he had thought about God
this week and he said yes. He asked great questions. I was very moved by
the spirit because this cafe was playing not very great music. While it
could have been very distracting, it was not. The spirit was so strong. I
learned that night that truly we stand in Holy places. We can make them a
place to feel the spirit when we do so with love. I dont think I have ever
listened so hard!!! To understand all that he was saying. I felt so much
love from God for His child, to help him with answers to his questions. It
was a very powerful teaching moment for my companion and I. In the end
after a few times asking, we committed him to pray and ask if God is there.
I know that he will feel the love of God when he does so!!
Yesterday we were driving home from church and had the feeling to pull off
and try knocking on some doors in a little neighborhood. After a while we
wondered where we needed to go. We prayed and changed direction and felt
really good. I knocked on a door and it was quickly closed in my face. When
you might get a little despairful thoughts, I turned and to my surprise I
turned around and there was a huge rainbow. I smiled and my companion and I
turned to eachother and both very strongly felt Gods love. We remember the
sign that He had given Noah, and remembered that God was with us and loved
us and was happy we were here and sharing His light.
Genesis 9:13-17 We can remember the covenants and blessings that we have
with God. He is so loving and merciful!
Last thing! We were challenged to find four people yesterday. We did not
get home until five in the evening. We prayed and prayed and God prepared
two couples for us to meet in the late of night. I was absolutely taken
back.
I love this gospel. I know that it is true. I hope that you can all see
Gods love for you this week!
