Hey Everyone!
Hope things are well back home! Sounds
like everyone is doing really well, so I'm glad for that. I'm grateful
for all the emails I got, so thank you so very much for them. This has
been a very good week here in Banska! Things are going well. It has once
again gotten cold, started snowing a little bit, but spring is just
holding out on us! Hopefully soon it will be here.
We had a lot of lessons cancel this week, people getting sick, and
other things happening, so that was too bad, but we have stayed strong
and continued to help others as best as we can to accept the restored
gospel of Jesus Christ!
So our members wife is doing well. She is continuing to
attend church, and just loves it, and is doing really well, but it's
still hard to get meetings set up with them, so that continues to halt
her progress. We're going to try to make a big push on it this last week
though! She is so great though, and is just such a sweet lady. I really
love meeting with her a lot.
Our other investigator is doing well. He had a match in
Bratislava this last weekend though and couldn't meet up or come to
church. He continues to be great though! I'm really excited to hopefully
see him this week!
We were in Zilina this last week for a zone conference. President
Irwin had just gotten back from a Mission President training in another
country, and had a lot to say. Elder Holland was there and taught them a
lot of things. Overall it was just really uplifting. He talked a lot
about obedience and other things which we need to be successful. It was
really uplifting.
Church was good, we had one investigator there, and it was really
uplifting! It is always so great to feel the spiritual power which
enters into your life from attend church every week. It really just
re-sets my entire stamina, and helps me to face the next week with a
renewed determination.
So as this transfer comes to an end this week, and we'll have
transfers next Monday, I have been really reflecting on what I've
learned and could share with everyone this week. I feel the greatest
lesson I've learned is from a quote in Preach My Gospel in chapter 8 on
the last page of the chapter. It says something along the lines of "Take
full responsibility for your actions. Never blame circumstances or
others for the results of your progress". I feel that as I've faced
trails and troubles this transfer, the lesson I've learned is that by
choosing to take full responsibility for whatever happens has helped me
to get on top of things and to be able to solve them. I'm really
grateful for this lesson, and hope everyone can learn it too.
So, thanks for everything you have all done for me. Thanks for all
the prayers and everything. I'm definitely praying for you out here too!
Have a great week, and you'll hear from me next Monday from my new
area. Love you all!!!
