So yes, you can guess, it's been an awesome week!
This week has been very special. First off, Elder Corssé from the First Quorum of the Seventy did a mission tour here in the Czech Slovak mission! That just means that he comes and meets the missionaries and gives a 5-ish hour presentation. It was really really good! He is really such a great man! He had a fireside for the Branch the night before and we had an investigator there so we watched that too. He told about when he got called as a seventy. He said he had to give up all the worldly possessions he loved to accept the calling, and he said it was very hard to decide at first. He had just bought a grand piano and was living in Paris where he was very happy. However he said that he studied the verses in the Bible where the Savior tells the man to give up everything he owns and follow him, and the man was sad because he wouldn't do it. He now serves as a seventy in Germany. It was a really good fireside! He took a minute to talk to all the missionaries and when I told him I was from Orange County he said he went to the temple open house there! He said him and his children loved it! He told us a lot about how to do missionary work better though, and it was really really good! He really is a man of God!
Elder Christofferson will come to speak to the Districts here on March 11, so we're really excited to see him too! He will also talk to just the missionaries after that! It will be a really cool experience.

Now on to the exciting things...
Our investigator finally accepted a specific baptisimal date! We are really going to work hard to make sure he can be ready by then! He is just such a great kid and I love him a lot! We haven't really been teaching too many other people right now, but we're really working hard to try to be meeting with poeple.
We had lunch with this older lady in the Branch this week and it was a really amazing experience. We started to share a spiritual thought, and she basically turned it around and gave us a spiritual though. It was about 2 Nephi 31:20 about enduring to the end, and she is really just an amazing example of enduring to the end. It was really great!
We didn't get anyone to church on Sunday, but we will be working hard to get people there this week!
