Happy Easter Everyone!

So we got to see conference this week! It was really good, and I really learned a lot! We even had an investigator come to a session, which was really awesome! I really enjoyed the talk, I think by Neil L. Anderson about not caring what anyone thinks but the Savior. Such a great talk!

 

So we didn't teach very many lessons this week, we've been loosing a few investigators lately, but we found a lot of new people with some potential, so we're really looking forward to meeting with them!

 

We had a training meeting for all the new missionaries and their trainers, so that was really good this week. I had the opportunity to work with Elder Nichol, one of the assistants to President Irwin, for a few hours. It was a really good experience. He taught me a lot about being really bold, and not letting people go, just to keep them talking until they feel the spirit and agree to meet with us. It was really great, and he is a great missionary. We also got one of our investigators to commit to baptism, for this month! It was really cool because we have been trying to help him accept a date for a while, but I just kept saying this next one is the time, and it was! He is a really great guy, and we're really going to help him make this date.

 

For Easter, we didn't do too much. We watched conference, and ate lunch at the Martin's, the senior couple here in Brno, which was really good. They are really good to us! Easter traditions here in Czech Republic, the only one I know is where the women get hit with these woven sticks by the men, because it brings them better health. Pretty interesting! There is a lot of stands selling stuff on the namesti again like there were at Christmas, it's exciting!

 

It's been a great week, and I'm looking forward to another great one! Hope you all have a great week this week, I love you all and pray for you all!

On a side note, there is this member here in Brno who is from Arizona, who went home for a week, and brought me back Cholula hot sauce!!! It was such a happy day. Already used some, and it's better than I remember!
