Pardubice

Hey Everyone!

Great week! I'm really glad to be here in Pardubice right now! It's just such a great city and full of miracles!


So this week we had Zone Conference in Prague, which as some of you asked, is about an hour train ride to Prague from Pardubice. It was really great! As zone leaders, Elder Heath and I gave a training, which was definitely scary to do, but it turned out really well. We have 12 missionaries in our zone and they are all great! So it was a great time there.

We've been so extremely busy, and I don't know where the time is going. It really is flying by so fast, and I am really loving every moment of it. We've been continuing to teach our family and they are doing good. They really love the gospel. We had a great miracle this week where we were able to give a priesthood blessing to the father because he was sick and he was healed from that. Such a testimony builder to me in the power of the priesthood actually being the power of God. I know that to be true.
We've been kind of slow at finding new people to teach, but this week should definitely be a lot better as we have a lot more time to find.

A great thing happened this week though. We got a branch mission leader finally! We had a meeting with him and he really raised my vision of the work. We're definitely going to do our best to see every miracle we can this transfer. He is really going to help us work with the members better so we can teach their friends and family. He has really raised my vision of the work though, and I'm so excited to work here right now!

By the way, I have a commitment for everyone. In the book "Our Heritage" one of the prophets (forgot which one, I'll look again) commits all church members to bring at least one person in the church every year. Theres about 1 year until I get home, so I commit everyone to really pick up their missionary efforts and bring someone into the gospel before I get home! Remember 1 Nephi 3:7, put a lot of prayer into it, and get started! I expect to hear all your commitments to do so next week. I promise a greater joy in your lives as you do so.

So I'm just really ready to keep working hard here right now. The elect are here, we're finding them, and the work is true!
Keep being great everyone! I love you all and pray for you! Thanks for everything!!!
