Hey Everyone!
So the exciting news,
transfers!!! So I unfortunately had to leave Pardubice. It is such a
great city and I really love it there. I am now however, in the
beautiful city of Plzen! It is so great! We got here this morning, and
it\s been snowing all day. It's just a grate place here. My companion, I
now have 2! Elder Osterloh and Elder DeAngelos (from Italy). Elder
Osterloh came into the mission right after me. He's great. Such a great
missionary. Elder DeAngelos is from italy and met Elder Hess in the MTC.
He is so great too. He was in Elder Ozmun's group. We're in the Prague
zone and I really love it here!
So Plzen has been the miracle city of
the last year in the mission though. There are a lot of miracles to be
seen here, and a lot of baptisms to be had. We're apparently teaching
many families, so we're really excited about that.
This last week was great with Elder Sewell. It was sad to leave him
and Pardubice, but I feel good about our work there. We had some really
cool miracles this last week! First one was that we visited an investigator and
she was home and we taught her a lesson! She is still wanting to do
these things and she is so great! It was really exciting to meet with
her. We are still meeting with another and he's doing really well. He's
so great too. He just really wants to live the gospel and is doing so
much to be able too. I really love him a lot, and really think he will
be baptised soon. Other exciting news, we visited this referral from a
lady on the street finally, and it turned out to be this really cool
guy! 'He was really happy we came to visit him, because he lives outside
the city, and he wanted us to come back! It was really cool for us to
see that miracle. We taught another as well, and he's still making good
progress. He's a good kid, but has some really hard times right now with
work and such, so we're still trying to work around that.
We were in the hospital because Elder Sewell slipped on some ice
and had to get stiches which was also some unusual news for this week.
But he's completely fine. it wasn't really that bad.
One thing
I really have been learning this last week is a lot on knowledge and
virtue. It's said that a good measure of our spiritual growth can be
seen by what we think about when we have nothing to think about. I've
really been trying to fill my mind with the doctrines of the gospel, and
have been learning and understanding so much better as I do that. I
also feel the spirit in such a greater measure. I really love the
gospel, and have such a strong deep testimony that it is so true. I'm
learning more and more that we show our diligence, our faithfulness,
our love, our desire, our discipleship all by action. It's one thing to
say something, it's completely another thing to show exactly who we are
by each action we do. Every single action we make, tell others exactly
who we are. I've really been trying to show other who I am by my
service, and I hope it's going well. Have a great week everyone! Love
you so much! I'm really excited and there's a lot of good times to be
had here. Wish we luck, and keep praying for us!
