Zdravím!
It's been an exhausting week, but those kind of weeks are the best. The transition into a new transfer has actually been pretty smooth.
It's just been a lot of making goals for the transfer this week. We've got some solid goals to work on, and I'm excited to work on them. One of our goals is to have 5 progressing investigators by the end of the transfer. We already have 2 new potentials from this week, so we're excited about that.
There's one man that the missionaries have been teaching for awhile. He has a baptism date, so we've just been teaching him the final lessons to get him prepared for that. He's such a cool dude. He's way prepared, and he has such a strong testimony. It's so fun teaching him, and it's so cool to see how accepting he is of everything and how excited he is for baptism.
I've been trying to figure out Facebook finding a little more. That's our main source of finding new people to teach right now. We've gotten a few good gospel discussions with a few people from that. There's one lady that requested help with English on a language exchange Facebook page. Since us missionaries are all, for the most part, from native English speaking countries, we jump at opportunities like that. It's the perfect segway into gospel discussions. We met with this lady that requested help, and it went so well. She's so cool, and she's such a solid potential. We're building a solid friendship with her, and I'm pretty stoked. Plus she said she'd be willing to take us výlets, so I'm so down for that two.
The quarantine is over! Now we just have to limit group sizes to 10 people. So that's cool. Downside is the sisters in our apartment had to move back to their areas. Sad day.
Okay. So I have had two goals for my mission since before my mission even started. The first one, obviously, is to preach the Gospel. The second one is to visit Žižkovská televizní věž. I accomplished that second goal this week, and it was one of the best things to ever happen to me. Žižkov is known to a lot of people as the "baby tower." It has been deemed the ugliest tower in the world. During the war it was used to block radio signals. The best part? It has giant statues of these huge faceless babies crawling all over it. I love it so much. Definitely one of my favorite things I've seen on my mission so far haha. I've literally wanted to see this tower since before I left on my mission, and I finally got to go. I was so dang happy the whole time hahaha.
For pday we walked around Prague with the APs. We went to Charles' Bridge and walked around Old Town a bit. I saw one of the baby tower babies up close. Man I live in THE coolest place. The Czech Republic has my heart. I'm in awe every time I go outside. After we walked around we went to one of my favorite parks, and we all played Skipbo. It was a pretty dang good pday.
Spiritual Thought:
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10
I freaking love this scripture. It perfectly shows the mission of Jesus Christ. He came to save. He came to heal. He came to reclaim. He came to seek. He came to find. He came to serve. He came to love. Christ saves all who are lost. It doesn't matter how lost they are. He's got our backs. We're all lost in our own way, but He finds us. He saves us. He loves us.
It was a pretty good week. I'm excited for the rest of the transfer. I'm excited to see the miracles that come. Thanks for all the prayers and support!
