Dobrý Den Všem!

Last time I wrote was 4 days ago so I do not have too much new to say.  I am happy.  This work is going great.  This week, I feel like not much was done, but then when I look back, I realize how much was done.  Though we may not have had a lot of lessons with people, we have been talking  to many.  We have been a lot on the streets looking for people to teach.  We had a few lessons with Zbyšek and Ludvik this week while our other investigator are trying to find time.  We have also been visiting some less active members.

Just a couple stories.  We were finding people on the streets the other day and we stopped a lady who had ran into us before.  She asked us how God could exist when all the bad things happen in the world.  We explained what we could and then offered the Book of Mormon which can answer that question, help us improve the world situation, and give us peace in times of difficulty.  We continued talking a bit more and invited her to church.  She told us she would come.  Most of the time, people say that and don't show up.  At church though yesterday, in walks in Jaroslava.  She enjoyed church and the members enjoyed her company.  After church, she asked us if she could have a copy of the Book of Mormon. We are meeting with her this week.

Another man we met near our home.  We were just about to turn to our flat when I felt like we should talk to a man that was walking toward us.  So that we could talk to him, we slowed our pace and when he was closer, we talked with him.  At first he said no, but as we continued talking and testifying he felt the spirit.  He had the same concern as Jaroslava whether God exists or not, but the spirit worked through us to help him feel the comfort of this message and the love of God.

This last Sunday was fast Sunday too.  Church was amazing.  Most members got up and bore their personal testimonies of the Book of Mormon and this church.  The spirit was felt by everyone.  It was one of the best testimony meetings I have had.  A few people expressed thanks to us missionaries in very humble ways, but I know that God is the true one to thank.  I know that when we do what God expects, he can help us to bless people around us.  I am thankful that He has called me here as an instrument in His hands to make a difference in the lives of others and to spread the light of Christ with people.  This gospel is true and can make people happy not only now, but forever.

I don't have much more to say.  Pray for missionary opportunities and "Vyměňte Strach s Vírou!" (Replace Fear with Faith).
