"We Lost One and Gained Two"

Zdar všem!

It's been a pretty hezký week. A lot of changes but also a lot of fun. 

So last Monday we took Sis Ray to Prague to send her home. It was pretty bitter sweet. It was really sad to see her and some other missionaries leave, but it was also way fun to get to hang out in Prague. Prague was EMPTY. Charles Bridge is completely deserted. I've never seen that place with so few people. It was insane. We stayed there until Tuesday. I got to see some of my west zone peeps again and chill with them. I miss them so dang much! I also got to see some of my MTC elders again. One of them I haven't seen since first transfer, and the other one I haven't seen since the MTC. It was a good reunion. I freaking love the people I get to serve with. I've got some good friends here. 

On Tuesday President consolidated the missionaries, so the missionaries combined apartments so no one is living on their own. The Brno sisters came to us, and they get to live here for a little bit. It's been pretty fun. Definitely a weird experience having another companionship here, but it's been cool. One if them is actually from way East Mesa haha. Now we have more people for our Skipbo and Phase 10 games. 

I've been learning how to juggle this week. Pro tip:if you don't have any juggling balls, then just use potatoes. They work pretty well haha. 

There are these two birds that won't stop mating outside our window. It's been a fun adventure trying to get them to leave.

We caught a wasp inside our apartment and made him so dang mad. I fear for my life a little now haha. 

We got to go to the Raj again!! Freaking love that place. It actually feels like spring, so the weather was perfect. Perfect weather, perfect place, perfect people. Life can't get much better. I love the people here so much. I honestly never want to leave. I could stay in this are for the rest of my mission and be totally okay with it. I would be in my comfort zone and wouldn't learn anything, but I'd get to be with the people I love. 

We've had a few good lessons this week. The kids we're teaching got bombarded with a ton of school work this week (teachers are still trying to figure out how to do school at home), so we've had to take things really slow with them. Hopefully we can get a little better at Facebook Finding and find more people to teach. I love teaching the lessons. 

Life is good. Quarantine isn't that bad when you focus on the good and enjoy the little moments. We'll all get through this. There's a lot of good coming from this. 


Spiritual Thought:

"You have Godliness in your blood and in your bones, and because of that you can overcome anything."

We're mortal, but guess what? We also have a Spirit in us that is not mortal. It comes straight from Deity. We are eternal, divine beings. We've got Godliness in our blood and bones. There's nothing we can't do as we realize that fact. God's got our back. We can call on Him and call on the divinity within us. We can overcome anything. 


I hope everyone had a great week! Make this next week a great one! It's up to us whether it's good or not. Mám vás ráda!
