 Jak to jde, Vsichni?
What's up everybody?

Jeste hlasim z krasnych mest Pardubic, kde budu na 2 mesice alespon.
Still loud beautiful cities of Pardubice, where I'll be on at least 2 months.
 
So the news is in, and here it is. I will be staying in Pardubice for another transfer at least, and I'm still with Elder Sewell! They just couldn't keep us apart. We've got some serious work to do this transfer apparently, so we're getting to it. Also, transfers got moved to Monday again.

So our week, it's been a really good one! We've had ups and downs, good and hard times, but we're still living, which is important.

First exciting news, we went to Jihlava to do some baptisimal interviews. They had 2 baptisms there this weekend. Why am I telling about this, the guy I found there with Elder Simcock last transfer who got baptised, it was his wife and niece who got baptised this weekend! Such a great experience, even though I couldn't be there to see. The work of God is pressing forward with great force there in Jihlava and the branch is being blessed by it!

We're continuing to find and teach so many people though. It's really going well, and I'm excited to share the gospel with all these people this next transfer!

We taught one investigator again, and things are going well, but there are challenges there still. It's hard at times, but were making some good progress. She is really doing a great job at living the gospel and is doing really well. We've taught all the investigators this week, and it's really amazing to see that when you teach without a member, their progress is hindered. All our members were at the temple this last week, so we had a bit of a hard time teaching with members. It was fine though, and we still had some good success.

We were in Prague for specialized training which was really great! President Irwin talked about some really great things. It's really exciting to hear about the new missionaries who will be coming in the coming months, and how the work is going to pick up significantly across the world. I'm really excited about it all! These really are great days!

I've really been learning a lot this week about Christ. I'm developing such a greater love for Him and what He did for me. He really was more than a normal man, He was our Savior and Redeemer. It is through Him that we are perfected, and that we can return to God again. I'm eternally grateful for Him.
The work is going strong, and we're seeing miracles! The work is truly God's!

So it sounds like everyone had a good week, and that Elise and Skyler survived doing their Ironman race, so I'm excited to hear that. Once again, Happy Birthday Elise!
Hope everyone has a great coming week! Love you all and thanks for the emails and prayers! Have a great one!!!
