Week 8 in C Bud
Ahoj!
I am emailing from Prague actually, cause we had to come up today to get our visas renewed-it took forever...but that's out of the way. We are coming back on Wednesday because we have a mission conference!! So I'm excited about that. We are doing something special apparently, we have to wear tights (in the middle of july, ick. I have to go buy some nylons) and we are meeting at the train station instead of the building, so that will be interesting! I'm excited for that.
This week was full of more adventures....haha it is C Bud after all. We taught a super awesome potential that was contacted back in 2007, and he actually seems to want to learn and try things, so that was really refreshing. We had a family history activity for the branch, that went pretty well, we're excited to get more members involved.
We went tracting by one of our sister's houses out in Srubec on Thursday, and ended up teaching a lesson to this guy that we contacted about a month ago in the park. He used to come to English like 10 years ago I guess. Unfortunately he's not interested in the gospel--when he invited us in I asked if his wife was home, and he was like, i haven't seen her for 40 years! But I'm looking for another one....it's possible no? hahaha ewwww. So we taught him in his front yard, and I now know what beer smells like haha. So that was pretty funny. We stopped by the sister's house even though she was still supposed to be gone, but she was home and just didn't tell us cause she was busy. And we found out she smokes too....so lots of work to do there.
What else...Jarda tried to drop us but I convinced him to agree to one more meeting. And there were absolutely no women in church on Sunday, so instead of me teaching Relief Society like I planned we got to go to Priesthood! Can't say that will ever happen again haha. But! Ctibor came to church and I was SOOOO happy! aah it was the best. He's the less-active who's Roma and doesn't have the priesthood. We taught him this week and at one point I pointed out that he was already in the chapel at that moment, so what was the difference to come on Sunday? haha. But we also testified that he needs to come to church in order to make his decision about the priesthood (he gave himself a deadline to either decide to work towards it or to never come again). His Roma traditions are holding him back, because for the Roma priests are considered holy and he doesn't think he's worthy. But he didn't used to take the sacrament for that same reason, and he did on Sunday! So that was really exciting. And one of the talks was absolutely perfect for him, so I was so happy about that.
Transfers are in a week! aah it's crazy. I really don't want to leave, everything is finally coming together after an entire transfer of hard work--it would be really nice to actually see some fruits from that. But we'll see what happens I guess. Sister Donaldson thinking I'm going to train...haha. That would be an adventure. I think it would be kind of fun, I basically do most of the czech now anyways. I just want to stay here.
Well sorry this email is kind of disjointed! I think that's about it though, can't really think of anything else to say, just a normal week. I guess if you don't hear from me on Monday it means that I got transferred!
s laskou!
