Hello again!
So this was quite an interesting week. So this week, Elder Bracken got pretty sick. He got sick on Tuesday. We had a lesson on Tuesday after District meeting, so Elder Bailey and I went to teach that one. Elder Bailey is a really good missionary and he really set this tone for the kind of missionary I want to become. He teaches really powerfully.
On Wednesday and Thursday we didn't do much because Elder Bracken slept all day. I got the opportunity to study a lot of Czech though.
On Thursday night, Elder Bailey somehow fell when he stood up because his legs had fallen asleep and he bruised both his feet somehow pretty badly, so Elder Bracken and I went to Pardubice so I could work with Elder Uremovich while the other 2 rested. Elder Uremovich is from Layton Utah, but his name is Croation.
On Saturday, there was a young adult event all day, so Elders Bracken and Bailey (still injured/slightly sick) and the Sisters went there with several of our investigators, while Elder Uremovich and I worked in Pardubice. We taught this woman, one of their investigators there. She lives in one of the most humble conditions that I have seen. Just this small house that doesn't have electricity. This lady is so very humble and ready for the gospel though. So I stayed the night in Pardubice because the others didn't get back until late. All of our investigators had really amazing experiences at the young adult event though.
So the cool experience I had this week. On Friday I was studying the scriptures and planning for lessons. I found Mosiah 2:22, 41 which I wanted to share with an investigator. A little later, I was thinking about this less active member we are working with. I had the thought that I should start sending him daily messages with scriptures for him to read. I decided that these verses would be great for him. I didn't think much about it, until he came to church on Sunday! After sacrament he came up to me and told me that on Saturday night, he was up debating on whether or not to come to church. He didn't really want to, then he remembered and read the verses I had sent him. He then decided to come! It was really cool to see that I was truly inspired to send him that message and to see what came from it.
We are having this branch open house this week starting tonight so I'm really excited to be a part of that. Oh, we will be watching conference this coming weekend so I'm excited for that. Things are going great here, so don't worry! Love you all!
