1 Year?

April 30, 2012

Hi Everyone!

So yeah, I guess this Friday will be my year mark, I haven't been out that long. So it's going really well though! We had a super week! So here it is:

First miracle, we are teaching this 27 year old girl, who had been taught for about 8 months now. She is doing really well, and progressing really steadily, but slowly. However, this week she really started praying more to find out answers to her questions, and she is really progressing! She is just super excited about the gospel, and it really brings her a lot of joy! She comes to church almost every week, and is doing really well! She had this great moment of understanding this week when we were talking about the Plan of Salvation, which was really cool! She just seemed to get it. Great week with her!

 

So our second story, we got this member's less active son to come to church last week, and we met with him this week. We talked about missionary work, and he got really excited! He came to church with us on Sunday, and kept asking this one member who just got back from a mission about missions! He is just really really excited and is looking forward to serving now! He still has about 2 years (he's almost 17), but is really excited about it. It was really awesome to see!

 

Our third story happened this morning. We woke up, and had a few text messages. One of them was from this guy we've met with a few times, he said "I got it!". Of course, it was early, and I didn't really understand, so we asked him what he got. Apparently, he'd been praying, and found out that God really is there, that He really loves him! Such a great thing to hear! We're really excited to meet with him again this week!

 

So, we had several lessons not show up this week, but we've been really blessed anyways, and the Lord really is watching out for Elder Hansen and I. We're doing really well together still, and we're definitely working hard. Elder Hansen really helps me stay motivated, seeing how hard he tries to work! Our district here in Brno is doing awesome, and I'm really lucky to be serving such a great district!

 

So I read this week in 2 Nephi 33:10-11, which talks about the Book of Mormon. It says, if you believe in Christ, you will believe in these words (the BoM). It really is true, that the Book of Mormon testifies of Christ, and if people would just look past their negative feeling about the Book of Mormon, and just read it, they would see it testifies of Christ, and everything He taught! I know the Book of Mormon is true, and is the word of God! It is a great book!

 

Congratulations Eric for graduating! I would have been there

So, questions people had this week:

-My favorite hymn, I don't really know. I like a lot. Maybe Come thou Fount, even though it's not in the English hymnbook at the moment

-We have a choir here in Brno, there is a spring concert next Saturday, but I don't sing in it at the moment

-Suggestions for members back home, just share the gospel with everyone, invite them to read the Book of Mormon, because that is what our entire religion stands on, the truthfullness of the Book of Mormon. If it's true, everything else is true

-Transfers are the 16 of May, so I'll email that Wednesday.

Thanks for all the emails everyone! I really appreciate them! Have a great week! Love you all!
