Ahojky!
Well another week went by ridiculously fast, I
don't know what happens to the time! It's crazy. What even happened this week?
Syllvie's doing really well, she came to all 3 hours of church yesterday and
loved it! I was sooo relieved, I just just praying the whole time that she'd
have a good experience. Plus she was the only YSA there and she still loved
it--she's so cool! She's on baptismal date for August
9th, so
we'll see! We still have to teach the commandments and she got a job offer in
Switzerland, so we're just praying that she stays here! She's seriously so
cool. And so prepared. Aaah love it. Our other one got moved to the same day,
so we could have a double baptism my last Saturday--we'll see what
happens.
Had a total miracle the other night too--we
got back from exchanges with Prague late (I was with Sister Hicken-my MTC
companion, it was fun to reminese about how we were together a YEAR ago in
Cbud. So weird. Plus it was in Prague so it reminded me of my first transfer,
that was so long ago). Anyways so we got back late, about 10
pm and
we were waiting at the tram stop to go home, and this girl comes up to us and
says do you remember me? We had contacted her a couple of weeks ago and she
wouldn't give us her number cause she says she sees us all the time and she'd
just wait til the next time. So we said, yeah yeah.... But it was her! And she
rode the tram with us almost to our house talking about the Book of Mormon,
baptism and what we do--she said she'd been thinking about our conversation a
lot and wanted to meet! We have a meeting with her today. It's just so cool how
much the Lord guides our steps without us even knowing it. He knew we would be
home late that night. Missionary work is the best! We had a goal of at least 7
investigators this transfer, because they had all pretty much dropped us at the
beginning, and we passed that last week, plus two more yesterday! So
great.
For your birthday dad, we got to help with a
Mormon Helping Hands project! I have always wanted to do that. We knocked
plaster off of an old school (pre World War II)--and got completely filthy in
the process haha. I had to scrub my hair so hard to get it all out. Somuchdust.
But it was really fun. When am I ever going to get a chance to do that again?
Well I think that's about it--I have to
give my departing testimony on Thursday in front of all the Czech missionaries
because we are going to the dedication site again. It's been really hard to
narrow down what I've learned on my mission into a 5 minute testimony. It's
pretty impossible to express how I feel about it either. But I will do my best,
hopefully I won't blubber through it haha. But no guarantees--it will only be
the sisters in my group leaving and elders always cry too. Blech. I hate
goodbyes.
love you!
