"Official Resident of the Czech Republic"

 Nazdar! 

The weeks go by so fast. 

We got a referral from the Communist party this week. Literally there was no name attached to it. It just said "Komunistická strana" (Communist Page). So apparently their hearts are opening? Haha we think it either was just someone trying to waste our time or it was from one of the members here who is possibly Communist. 

We went and did service again for this member. We just spent the time cutting up apples while she turned them into applesauce. 

We had dinner with our friend and celebrated his baptism anniversary! He was baptized a year ago this week. He has an impressive story. He kinda went inactive after his baptism after encountering anti, but then during quarantine he read through the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants multiple times and regained his testimony. He's a cool guy. He brings us Kofola everytime we meet with him.

We went to Prague this week for visa work. I'm finally done renewing my visa! I got a residency card and everything. I feel super fancy haha. It's kinda cool knowing I own a Czech Republic residency card.

We carved pumpkins with a recent convert. She lives pretty close to Germany, and the drive out there was so pretty. I will never get over how pretty it is here. 

We finally published our Facebook page! Next step is to invite everyone to the page and then make and run an ad. I'm excited to see what comes from it. I think we'll find a lot of people from it. It's a lot of work, but it's definitely worth it. 

Spiritual Thought:

We started doing Come, Follow Me this week with this district, and I'm so pumped. I love studying the Book of Mormon with them. As we were studying I read 3 Nephi 20:6-7:

"6 Now, there had been no bread, neither wine, brought by the disciples, neither by the multitude;

7 But he truly gave unto them bread to eat, and also wine to drink."

The people went to hear Jesus, but they weren't expecting to participate in the Sacrament with Jesus. They were probably expecting to be fed spiritually, but they weren't expecting that special of a spiritual experience, and they weren't prepared for it. But Jesus knew that, and He provided the means for them to have the Sacrament. 

Sometimes we aren't prepared to have certain spiritual experiences, or we aren't expecting them. But God is good, and He knows that we're imperfect, and He provides what we need to have those experiences anyways. Even though we aren't perfect, God still provides us with miracles and spiritual experiences. He's just too good. 

I hope you all have a fantastic week. It's gonna be a good one. Love you all!
