AHOJJJ!
It's been rainy for the past few days, so you know it's been a great week. So. Many. Miracles.
The week started out with an invitation to be baptized. Except we were the ones being the invited. Some dude that I was messaging from Facebook invited me to be baptized. "Celá. Pod vodu." Hahaha it was weird being on the other end of that question.
We saw a man listening to hard rock and blowing bubbles in the park at 7am. He's living life right haha.
We caught a fly that's been flying around the office for a week, put it in a Tupperware, and left it on the elders desk for them to keep as an office pet. They let it go. :(
We met with another dude from Facebook last week. We met him again this week, but this time he brought a friend. Let's just say the whole lesson went like this:
Us: *barely gets half a sentence out*
Friend: *starts flipping through his Bible to show us how we're wrong*
To be fair, he was really respectful about it, and it could have been a lot worse. He was really nice and a good dude, he just wanted to try proving us wrong. But hey. We prepped really well for that lesson. Even though we didnt get to give it, I can now give a lesson on the Plan of Salvation using verses from both the Bible and the Book of Mormon to back up each point. So it was a good lesson either way.
Highlight of the week: I got to go to my home away from home. I went back to UH for exchanges this week since the borders are still closed. I got to hang out with Sister Jeppsen all day (she's the coolest). I freaking miss Moravia, UH, and all the people there. It was so good to be back. We were able to go to a member's garden and help them harvest honey from their beehives. That night they did a neighborhood walk with some of the members, so I got to see all my favorite people again. We ended the night playing frisbee in a field with a ton of the members. Dang it was so good. I miss UH.
We've been having a lot of success with Facebook finding! We have 3 new investigators this week and 1 new progressing investigators. So it's been way cool to get to teach. Learning to use Facebook to find and teach has been such a blessing. Miracles are coming in.
For pday we went to Prague zoo. It was so chill. It was a rainy day and COVID time, so no one was there. It was a really cool zoo. Lots of animals. Lots of animal fights. You could see animals in an exhibit and look up and see a landscape of Prague right behind it. Also if you're ever bored, go to the zoo with 5 20 year old men. Its freaking hilarious. I've never seen a group of adults run so fast to see a polar bear hahaha. So entertaining.
Spiritual Thought:
I just wanna testify of the importance of preparation. I've noticed a lot that when we put forth the effort to really prepare for a lesson that the lesson always ends up being led by the Spirit. But if there's a lesson that we don't prepare for as well it doesn't end up going as well. The Lord loves effort. As we put forth the effort to prepare and plan, the Spirit's gonna be there with us and help us.
Thanks for tuning in to this weeks list of random things that went on. Miracles are happening. The work is going good. Thanks for all the love and support. All your prayers keep me going.
Have the best week!
