The week in Prague

 Draha Radino!

Sunday we had good church, and then we taught a family from India. So cool. They are a referral from a member that used to live here, and they are great. It's a young couple with a two year old daughter. We are way excited for them. We had good calls wit hthe zone leader as well. The mission is doing well.

Monday we had a good day. We taught Viktor, and then after his lesson we taught Michal with Viktor, first time ever for Viktor. He did such a good job, perfect. There has been discussion of him replacing the current branch mission leader. He would be soo great. We also taught Ary later in the evening, fasting, and it was great. He agreed to fast with us this weekend and pay offerings after baptism and everything.

Tuesday we had district meeting and planned the concert that we are putting on in a couple weeks. It should be good. I was pretty skeptical because it's been on plan for a long time and rescheduled many times because no one has acted on it. But, we got down to business and planned it. I'm performing a number, I'll tell what it is after the concert, if it goes well. That night we taught a couple less-actives, a lady and her Guatemalan husband, and Ary. We also taught Martin Koca, and it was rough. He talked to some Buddhist guy, and took some big steps backward as far as his progress goes to baptism. He has lost all concept of truth and who God is. WE had a surprise today. We walked into the building to teach someone, and Elder Tenney was there! He's living in Ukraine teaching English right now, and he is on a trip around Europe with a stop in Prague. It was good to see him.

Wednesday we wnet to Brno for a conference. It was good. I love the missionaries in our mission. We trained on reading and prayer, and we got to stay for the whole conference this time. It was good to see the other missionaries train, especially the zone leaders. Presidnet McConkie has them in two different cities so as to spread out the missionary goodness. One is going home in a month and the other is a new zone leader, so it was good to see them working together. They're great. We drove to Brno with Sis McConkie, and it was pretty fun. She is very talkative, and kept us entertained thoughout the drive. She is good at facilitating conversation. We came back and taught Martin Koca again this evening. We just went through every book of scripture and taught the nature of God. He took it ok. You can't contend with the scriptures, they have a special authority.

Thursday we taught Ary and Viktor, and Ary had his baptismal interview. Passed! He's great. President McConkie loves him, and is really excited for his future. We are too. We then went to a singing display and had great success. I had the idea, that we could set goals a little differently for finding. instead of setting a number goal, we set a type of person goal, and then do all we can to find that person. We decided we needed to look for a husband for some of the YSA girls here, and we focused our finding on young cool guys. We found four. It was neat. The Lord is good. We also taught a new young guy named Jan today. He's not a believer at all, but he's willing ot learn. we taught Mirek and Lukas again, and it was so good! we reviewed the Plan of Salvation with them, and it really went well. Lukas agreed to pray for the first time in his life! He did a great job. HE has made such great progress. We went with Presidnet to Jicin that night to have a meeting with the District Presidency. We're finally going to have a district high council! President is pretty excited about it.

Friday we taught a young guy named Marek who has been around forever about baptism. It was good. He has more energy than anyone else I have ever met. But he's a supergenius, and a really nice guy. We also taught a young mother named Jana, and she accepted a baptismal date! The 21 of December. After them we taught Isabel about eternal marriage, and then taught Cristina with her. They are so hilarious. Cristina also accepted a baptismal date for the 21! She's going to make it too. She's great. WE watched the Joseph Smith video with her, and she loved it. AFter lunch we taught Pet'a, the girl from Slovakia, and it went well, then we went looking for some less actives with President McConkie. No one was home, but we found a cool guy on the way. He's recently married, and cool.

today we are going to teach a few folks, practice for our concert, and play soccer! Love you all, the Gospel is true!
