Ahoj!
This week was incredible. I feel like things are just so great! It is is
amazing when you have the attitude that something is going to be awesome,
it will be awesome. This week was not only great because awesome things
happened, some really hard things took place, but it helped show me how big
of a role faith plays in our lives-I knew that everything would be okay.
So to start of we had a bunch of lessons scheduled onn Tuesday and then all
of a sudden they cancelled, one after another. For a moment I was a little
frozen, did that really just happen? I was a little stunned and confused,
but then I realized I wasnt sad. **With that extra time we had we were
able to continue to work and find those being prepared by God, and were
able to reschedule meetings. It is amazing how big of an influence the
Spirt has in our lives. When we keep our covenants and strive to become
better every day and are repenting, just like it is written in the
sacrament prayer, we can have His Spirit to be with us always. I felt that,
that day, when normally the day maybe could have gone down, I was able to
still have a positive attitude and eagerness to continue the work!
Wednesday we had a wonderful training In Prague. Wow it was so inspired.
For a moment I just thought to myself, wow God really does know me because
everything connected right to me. **
It was amazing because later this week, I was able to apply what I had
learned in training, to helping our investigators. A lot of it was based on
how much God loves us. Each and everyone of us. We are all so special to
Him. We need to be making the best of every moment. Appreciating ourselves
and others.
I got home late evening after being on an exchange in Prague and we were
trying to decide how to use the rest of our time for the night. We thought
that it would be fun to make some cinnamon rolls real fast and deliver it
to some members and less actives. Turns out that we did not have all the
ingredients that we needed, we had to make a couple trips to the store. I
started to feel bad for having to run back to the store, but we were
supposed to be there at that exact time for a reason! We ran into a family
that we are teaching and were able to chat with them for a few minutes and
find out a very big trial that they are facing in their life right now.
Because we ran into them we were able to prepare well for their lesson the
next day. We came home and were blown away, because what we originally had
planned was not what they needed. When we finally delivered the goodies a
day later, we were able to make some bright smiles! It was amazing. Brought
us so much joy, rejoicing in our faith in Christ!
One thing after another, people are just constantly facing trials. But that
is a part of life. We must face hard things so that we can rely on our
Savior to help us overcome them. He makes us stronger. He loves us
sometimes even enough to hurt us, and build us up even stronger. That was a
talk given a few years ago. The next day a former investigator had a very
very hard emotional challenge. We gathered at a members home and all four
of the missionaries and the couple were able to testify of how much God
loved this person. The Spirit grew so strong. It was one of the most
inspiring nights that I have had in my life. This person did not feel that
they were loved by God. It broke my heart. It was in that moment when I
felt a change within me. Hot tears streamed down my face. I have been
blessed with a gift from God, serving as a missionary in the Czech
Republic, to love His children. I really do love them. It was a wonderful
strong meeting filled with tears, Spirit, stories, scriptures, and
motivation. Each person in that home was touched. I am so thankful to know
that we have a loving Heavenly Father.
On Saturday we had another day of being cancelled on. But still high hopes
of finding people who were ready to learn of the joy of the gospel. It is
amazing how much giving time to your God, even if things may not be
perfect, still makes you happy. I love this work. I am grateful to be here
among the Czechs. We had an amazing fast and testimony meeting on Sunday
and I felt really close to the members. I was chatting with Bratr Vlk and
asked him about his conversion story and he began to cry as he told me how
much the gospel had blessed his life. How amazing.
We also met with an investigator who I am pretty sure finally believes in
God! It has been so cool to see him grow. We invited him to be baptized and
he told us that he wanted to be. He studies the Book of Mormon and thinks
of the things we teach him and how it is effecting his life. He is changing
and I love being a part of sharing the good news with him that will create
a whole new wonderful happy life.
I will boast of my God for in His strength I can do all things. Alma 26:12.
Have a wonderful week!
