Ahoj rodiny a komrady!
I hope that you are all well and enjoying life to its fullest! Boy oh boy, saying that I am excited for Monday would be a complete understatement.. I AM GOING TO THE CZECH REPUBLIC! It is happening, and I am so excited to pour my heart and soul into the Lord’s work over in Europe. It is going to be so incredible. I just have such a strong belief that everything happens for a reason, and that we will constantly be facing trials- but through every trial, we gain blessings! Fun how that works huh? After each hardship, we can look back and be thankful for it, because it has made it stronger. You can find more about this in Ether 12:)
This week has been one of the longest but most craziest weeks yet! We are all done teaching our investigators, we had IN FIELD ORIENTATION, we had to move out of our residency today (yes today! With only a day and a half left) because of a bat problem, I spent my last day in the temple for the next 16 days, and I have been trying to make the most of every moment with all of my new lovely friends that I have had support me through my mtc experience.
There are lots of things that come with learning a new language. I get the opportunity to seek the spirit, so that I can try my earnest to share words that will touch the hearts of those that I teach. I also get to make lots of silly mistakes, that are fun to look back on. For example: so we were teaching our last lesson with one of our 4 investigators and we were bearing our testimonies. I was trying to tell her that by keeping the commandments we can grow closer to God. Which is přiblížovat, but instead I said přilížovat. She got a very very confused look, so my first thought is to repeat what I said. So I say it a few more times and I am like rozumíte? And she starts acting out what I said. I told her that by keeping the commandments, we can go skiing towards God. Oh my goodness I just died laughing, and then I was like oh! And I slipped the “b” into the slovo. But hey, that would be pretty sweet too though right? I mean skiing with God, that would be pretty awesome;)
Anywho! There were a few things that I loved in our devotionals that we had this week.
Make Good Better and Better Best
Faith Begins With Humility
Sow Good Reap Good D&C 6
I know that in order to be a good missionary I need to “Want my heart in it 100%”. I am on God’s time, and I need to give Him my all. What is any better than rejoicing enduring and loving?! These are three things that I will constantly have my focus on throughout my whole mission. I am so ready to go and share the love of this gospel with the českí! There are so many things to rejoice about, and work through, and love! These three principles can easlily be applied to each of your own lives too. Try to remember that there is always some good in every day. So be grateful for it, and rejoice! There are trials in every day too, but they make us stronger! So endure and enjoy it! Christ was the most perfect example of pure love. We may not be perfect, but we can strive to develop charitable attributes and love others. So I challenge you to go out today and do something nice for someone:)
This week each time I go in my scriptures, I have always opened to 3 Nephi 18:16. I love how it emphasizes the fact that Christ is the light and example for each one of us.
I hope that you all have a wonderful week! Thank you for all the love and support.
S laskou,
Sestra Miller
