"I Saw the Grand Canyon for the First Time in My Life"


Ahojjjj!

It was a pretty chill week. Got some insane news this week. 

We went to the Raj! It was my last time there. I'm gonna miss that place so hard core. It's my favorite place in the Czech Republic. I'm grateful for all the time I got to spend there and for the people I got to spend it with. 

We wrote a district song. The peeps in our district definitely cried listening to it. 

There were a lot of lasts this week. We had our last district council. Sister Ockey and I gave the training on change. It ended up being exactly what I needed. Heavenly Father hit me with a bunch of changes this week

We had transfers this week, and the thing that I least expected to happen happened. I got transferred back to Prague. And I'm STL (Sister Training Leader). My new comp is Sister Draper. It's gonna be a good transfer. A lot of learning and a lot of having to rely on Heavenly Father. I'm excited but also slightly terrified. It's chill though haha. It always works out better than I thought. Also, two elders from my mtc district are in my district again, so I'm stoked for that. 

I left a lot of good things behind-incredible companions, the best district, the best city in the Czech Republic, and the most genuine members. I'm gonna miss the Moravian life (goodbye free soup). I'm gonna miss daily calls with the district. Those people became my family, and UH became my second home. I'm forever grateful for all the amazing people I got to know while serving there (Kamaradovi, Kvasnickovi, Katrnakovi, Eckertovi, Palkovi, Dynkovi, and everyone else). Saying goodbye is sometimes the worst. 

Prague has been great so far. Today we went to Velká Amerika (Great America AKA the Czech Republics version of the Grand Canyon). I literally have been to the Czech Grand Canyon before I've been to the actual Grand Canyon...and I live in AZ. But I've seen the Czech one, so I've basically seen the real one. That's how it works, right? 


Spiritual Thought:

This quote comes from Starší Rollins (the Rollins were the senior couple in my district).

"The sweet happiness that you feel knowing that you're on God's side is just incredible."

Life is confusing. It's hard to know what side to be on sometimes. But theres a distinct difference in how you feel when you're leaning more towards Satan's side than God's side. When you're with God, you get a sweet happiness and peace. Even though there's chaos around you and inside of you, you can always feel peace and happiness knowing you're on His side. 


Have a great week! As always, I love you guys, and I'm grateful for the love and support. Also, Elder Mangum says hi.
