Transfers!

Drum roll, please.

..............................................................................!!!!

I am serving in Ostrava, Přivoz again.  I am glad I am.  I am serving in another tri-panionship with Elder Stimpson from Montana who was from the MTC group before me, and with Elder Clyde from Cash Valley, Utah from my MTC group!!!  We are going to tear it up!!!  I am so excited for this transfer!

 

Not much to say this week, but some from things.  First, this email is late because (I forgot to mention) P-Day on transfer weeks are on Wednesdays.  Next P-Day will be next Monday, then Monday again, and so on for 9 weeks, till the next transfer of which P-Day will be on Wednesday again.

 

Last week, we went to Prague twice.  Once for Elder Gibson, my last companion, to get a 15-day visa so he could leave the next week for home.  The Elders leaving applied for visas a year ago and hadn't gotten them yet, so they needed some quick.  The other time was for the conference with Elder D. Todd Christofferson.  Investigators and members from all over the Czech Republic and Slovakia went to one big conference where he spoke.  It was great.  Sister Christofferson bore her testimony in Czech.  She knows no Czech but learned how to say what she wanted to.  Elder Christofferson mainly spoke about how people who are investigating the church and not joining just need to stop worrying about whatever their concerns are and joining because whatever concern you may have before, you will receive a testimony of it after you are baptised.  He also talked about the role of an apostle.  He said they are to testify of Christ, help the members of the church and keeping them strong, and to bring the message of the truth to the world.  He said that the missionaries and also members are a big help in this.  It was a great talk.  After, all the missionaries in the Czech Prague Mission went to the Prague LDS chaple and had a Q&A session with Elder Christofferson.  We also got a big group picture with him.  The next day, we got a special treat back in Ostrava.  Elder Christofferson came to the Ostrava brach and held a fireside.  It was very spiritual.  His wife, his son (who served here), and himself bore strong testimonies.  Everything said was BEAUTIFUL.  Some of our investigators who went, thought the same.  I know that Apostles are called of God.

 

Lastly, we got a new investigator.  His name is Andy.  He is from Nigeria and speaks English, his tribes' native tongue, and Italian.  We taught in English.  He moved here from Italy for work.  He is such a down to earth guy and ready for the gospel.  He is reading the Book of Mormon, said he will pray about it, and he acceptde a baptismal date for the 7th of April!  Everything he was looking for is all we have to teach.  He is so humble and loves visiting with us.  I wish I could talk more about him, but I am running out of time on the computer and must go.

 

I love this work and am happy to be here in the front row of watching peoples' lives change.  Keep replacing fear with faith and work on growing your testimony of the Savior, Jesus Christ.  I love you all.  Take care.  Until next week...
