Rikam Vam, Cau!
Hey Family! Hope all is well! Sounds like you all
had a great week! First things first, I would like everyone to know
that Ryan Grochmal got his mission call and is will be serving in Kyiv,
Ukraine!! Right next to Slovakia, so just 2 countries over. He is
excited, and so am I!
It started snowing a little bit this week, but not very much. It always
melts pretty quick too which it too bad. It starting to get really cold
though. It's fine though because we're teaching a lot and we're not
outside too much. I really am enjoying this weather though! Things went
really well this week though! We had some really great experiences. We
taught this one investigator, who was taught a year ago. He recently has
had some experiences in his life, that have really opened him up a lot
to accept the restored gospel! It is a miracle that we were led to call
him when we did. We're really grateful for that experience.
We also taught this other guy yesterday who we found earlier in the
week. It was such a good lesson! I had studied the Restoration right
before, and I was just wondering how great Dan Jones was to go and
declare the gospel, and how excited he must have been. I got Elder
Sewell really excited too, so we were really enthusiastic when we taught!
We may have gone overboard, but our investigator said that he really
liked that we were enthusiastic. We felt really good after though, so I'm
sure it was fine. We didn't have too many other great teaching
experiences that I feel would be good to share, but we did go to
Svitkov, this part of Pardubice which is a little bit nicer. I love
going there because we always get some kind of success there. We went
and contacted this guy who was working on his garage, and talked to him.
He wasn't too interested to meet, but he really wanted to read the Book
of Mormon! It was great to talk to him and share the gospel with him.
Elder Sewell is still great! I love serving with him, sometimes too much
maybe. He is such a great worker though, and we work really hard. I
love working with him!
No investigators came to church last week, but we already have about three committed to come next week! Miracles!
Thanks
for all the emails. Christmas is starting here! There is a namesti
(town square) and they will be having a Christmas market soon! There are
lights around the city, but not too many people put them on their
houses. Everyone celebrates Christmas though! We wont be having a
Christmas concert in Pardubice like in Brno last year. The branch is a
lot bigger there in Brno! Also, people do have Christmas trees like us,
but smaller. Hope that answered all the questions I got!
Have a great week everyone!!! Love you!
