Hey Everyone!

So it's my last week here in Slovakia. We will have transfers next Wednesday, so you won't hear from me until then. It was great to hear from all of you. Sounds like everything is going really well! The river rafting trip sounded really great, as it always is! Glad to hear things are good, and glad to hear your great church experiences as well.

 

So this week was good, but a bit harder to work. It is now extremely hot and today is the first cooler day all week. Half of our members were in the temple in Freiburg Germany this week, so they couldn't help us this week with missionary work, but it was really good anyways!

 

First, our investigator. She is still doing so great! She is still very excited for her baptism this Saturday! We're definitely looking forward to it as well. The members as well are just really excited for it, and so there is a good atmosphere here. We went to Zilina with her and another member this Saturday to see a baptism there. It was really great! She was able to meet the members there in Zilina and build relationships with them. It was just a great event overall.

 

We are working with this inactive member, who is just the coolest guy ever! He's about 25 and just really great. He works on Sundays though so can't come to church. We had a really good lesson with him though and he said he would pray and search for new work to be able to keep that commandment. He said he wasn't going to be able to make it to church this Sunday though. So church is about to start, and all of a sudden, he comes in! I was so excited to see him. It just proves that he really has real intent and he really wants these blessings in his life. I can just see how much of a strength he could be to this branch in Trencin, and I'm so grateful to see him working so hard to do that. He is great!

 

Elder Zabriskie and I are still trying really hard to find new investigators. We haven't found any in 2 weeks now, so we're still doing our best to find them. We haven't been teaching very much because of that, but we still have really high hopes! Trencin is still just full of miracles waiting to happen!

 

So everything is going really well though, and we're just looking to finish the transfer really strong! I've been working a lot this last week on humility, and recognizing that without the Lord's help, we really can't do anything. I really can't deny how without the help of our Father in heaven, the work here doesn't and won't progress. I've also been strengthening my testimony that if we really study the scriptures and look to our Father in heaven, He does show us His will, and He does show us truth. If only everyone could realize this simple truth, that if they humble themselves and seek the will of their God, He will show them how to live happily and safely.

Thank you all for your letters of love and support. I hope you all have a great week! Love you all!!!
