Hey Everyone!!!

So it sounds like things are going really well! Things are great as always here in Slovakia!!! Just loving it!

So last P-Day we went exploring through the forests of Trancin. We were getting ready to leave, when it started raining super hard! We got trapped under this roof for about an hour while it poured. 

 

So we went back to the church building after to change, and decided we would call former investigators because we we're just soaked and not doing so great, ha! We set up this meeting with this guy, and met with him the next day. It was a great meeting! He is this 24ish year old guy who told us he is looking for a way to get closer to God in his life! We told him the way he can do that is through baptism, and he really seemed to like that idea! We set up another meeting, and he didn't show up. We thought that was sort of the end of that, because he wasn't answering his phone. But then he called us a few hours later and told us he was sorry, he had some work he had to do and he was going to come to church on Sunday and bring a friend! So he came to church on Sunday, had a great time and said he's coming next week and set up another meeting with us. It really is a miracle that we're finding these prepeared people!!! The best part though is that the members were talking to him, and he told them that he had really been thinking about these things a lot, and then we called him! So that was really just quite a blessing that we are able to teach him right now! 

We are also teaching this lady who is just loving everything about the church. She loves the members and they really have just taken her in, so it's really great to see that! We found this family, who are really nice, but didn't really have interest in the gospel. However we taught them twice now, and they are really starting to see how these things make sense and may be true! They are starting to see how the gospel can bless them!

So we're basically just seeing the hand of the Lord in our work and it's really quite a blessing to see that. 

I'm really loving Trencin and my faith and testimony are growing a lot here. Even though there are a lot of people who are stuck in their traditions, there are those who are prepared to hear the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ! I have seen miracle after miracle here in this country, and I know that the things I am doing are exactly what God wants me to do. I know this is His church here on the earth today, and that He loves and cares about us so much. I just hope I can do everything the Lord expects of me in this short time here on my mission. Love you all, have a great week! Thanks for all you all do for me!
