Hey Family!!!
Great week this week. We've been working hard and seeing great things! We had a great day especially on Saturday. We found this really great kid from Slovakia! He is great. He is working here in Pardubice. It was really such an experience to talk to him. At first he had no interest, but we kept talking and the more we talked, the more the spirit touched him and he opened up and we set up a meeting. I felt so blessed that we had been led to him, and I'm really excited to meet with him this week! It's just such a blessing to know that the Lord is working right alongside us, and that He really wants to help us succeed, and when we put our trust in Him, we do succeed! We are led to the elect. I'm so grateful for that. We also were led to this other man who was just so open to the message, and was just such a great guy. I'm just so grateful for the spirit directing my life at this time!

We had another Book of Mormon moment. We were talking to this guy outside this hotel in Pardubice. It's like a normal hotel, but people stay in it long term. We were talking to this guy though, and all these people in the hotel above us were yelling at us and laughing at us. As we were walking away from the guy later (he was a really great guy) we were talking about how we walked right by the great and spacious hotel, with it's inhabitants pointing and mocking. It was really fun to see the relation!!
One of our investigators though made some great progress this week! He rode his bike 2 hours to come to church! He said he feels really welcome and safe from the world at church. It was really great to see his faith in that, and how he was able to see the blessings.
I got to spend a day in Hradec Kralove though on exchanges. It was really great, and I was glad to be back there. It's a really beautiful city.
So I found was I was looking for last week though. On page 120 of the book "Our Heritage", President David O. McKay invites us as members to bring at least one of our beloved friends every year to accept the blessings, the peace and the joy of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that everyone can do that, because a Prophet of the Lord told us we could! Like I said before, with much prayer, I know all of you can achieve this goal. I didn't get too many commitments to do so last week, so I'll ask for them again. Will you all commit to follow the Prophet David O. McKay's counsel before I return home next year?
Love you all family! You are all great and I enjoy hearing from all of you! Keep up the good work you all do.

P.S. Oh, by the way for Eric, we're teaching these 2 Bulgarians guys, and they told us they would refer all their friends. They're super open, it's too bad they can't help our the church there right now. Also, we met a professional basketball player for Europe. Don't know who he was though
