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!
