Dnes je Sylvestr! Preji Vam stastny novy rok!   
Today is New Year's Eve! Wish you a happy new year!

Happy New Year everyone!

Sounds like everyone had a great year! I enjoyed talking to you all. It was a good Christmas. We went to our branch Presidents for dinner with his family. It was really great. They made this fried steak and potato salad. No carp this year, but that's alright. I really enjoyed it a lot. It was a really great night! That was the 24, which is Czech Christmas. On the 25 we went to Hradec Kralove and were with the missionaries there, Elder Jones and Carlson. It was a really great day too! We ate a lot of pie and treats. It was really great. We played some games and had a really great time! I really enjoyed it. Today is New Years Eve. The people celebrate by lighting off fireworks all night. It is 1 in the afternoon and there are already fireworks. Last year they light them off nonstop all night. It's really loud. Anyone can use them where ever. It's crazy!

So the rest of the week. We had a really great week, full of awesome experiences! First miracle, we were going to a lesson, and we were running late, so we were hurrying, but then this guy recognized us so we stopped to talk to him. It was the friend of our investigator, who we had taught once before. We didn't have his number though, so we got it and set up for the next day. It was really great! We taught him, and he committed to church though, which was a miracle! Then our investigator committed too. So we went to church with both of them. It was a really great week at church! They loved it, and this one member talked to them a lot, and everything just turned out perfect. They want to come next week now too. It was a real miracle. I loved it.

Another miracle, we always go to this one less active member families house to teach them, and they often have friends over. So they had a friend over when we stopped by, we taught him, and set up and taught him again! It was really great! He is really open and it's just been a miracle to find him! Referrals from members are so great because they always are so much more open. I love meeting all these great people!

Been a really great week though. I really do love this work and helping others. I have realized so much more how grateful I am for Christ and for all that He has done for us. I am so grateful for His life, His example, and for His sacrifice for us. I'm grateful that I have the opportunity to tell this great news to others and to help them accept Christ as their Savior, by accepting His restored gospel. I know this is His restored gospel!
Thank you everyone for everything you have done for me. I love and appreciate you all so much, and I am so appreciative for your love and support. Have a great week!!!
