The weeks are going by too fast, but they've been busy, so I can't complain.
To start the week we went to a less active's garden in a little village a ways from Plzeň. We picked apples, cut them up, and I got to play with their little daughter and kitten. It couldn't have been better. Huge gardens are one of my favorite parts about Czech culture.
We had one of our English students tell us about his favorite soup which consists of the stomach of a cow. Then the next day he invited us to lunch at his work, and his work was randomly serving that soup that day. So yeah...we tried cow stomach soup this week. The meat was smooth on one side and bumpy/wavy on the other. Definitely wouldn't recommend it. I did not enjoy it at all. But I'm glad I got to try it.
We went and had a lesson with this former investigator and a member. The investigator basically told us that he wants to live with his wife forever, but that he doesn't want to accept the gospel. The member just told it to him straight and was like "If you get on a bus headed towards Opavska, but you're trying to get to Bory in the exact opposite direction, you can't get on and tell the bus driver that you're going to Bory." And then he told the guy that he couldn't say he was going to live with his wife forever if he wasn't going to live his life in a way that will make that happen. It was pretty straight up. I appreciated it. It makes me really sad that he doesn't want to accept the gospel though. I just want him to receive the blessings from it.
We met with a lady who isn't from here, but her dad and ex boyfriend are members. It was weird to have a conversation with someone who knew about the church. It was cool though.
We also had a call with this girl from Prague that I've been messaging the past few months. It was for English, but we also talked about the gospel, and she's down to learn more. She's way cool, and I'm excited to get to talk with her and get to know her more.
We had zone conference! As always it was way good to get to see the other missionaries. As the mission gets smaller, we've all gotten a lot closer with each other.
We did a Trash Hero event. Basically we went to a park and cleaned up all the trash. I found a few needles and a lot of beer cans. Fun times
There was a pretty big fire in Plzeň this week. I think some warehouse burned down. We could see it from our tram ride home. The smoke kinda just covered the city. It was pretty cool.
We played SpikeBall with some peeps today in the park. It was way fun. It was a super close game, but Graham's team won. I'll keep you updated on who wins the next games.
Spiritual Thought:
We talked a lot about the Spirit at zone conference. It's cool because as member we have the gift of the Holy Ghost. That means that whenever we want, we can feel the Spirit. We just have to focus on trying to feel it, and we can. It's been kinda cool to learn that, cause before I always just thought that you had no control over whether or not you feel the Spirit, but it's a privilege that we have.
Have a fantastic week! Thanks for all of the support.
