About half of the week was taken out because of trainings and other things. I had last week on Thursday to travel to Plzeň drop off my companion, go with another missionary to Prague so we could wake up in the morning to go to Brno for a district leader training. Then I travelled back that evening. The next day would be Saturday now and that is when we have over here general conference. It was also on Sunday. I enjoyed very much general conference. I took notes the whole time. These people really do speak to us in behalf of God. What a privilege this is! Of course I have my favorite speakers, but I enjoy hearing from all. It is too bad that it is only 10 hours of conference and we have to wait 6 months for next conference.
Last week he had a great experience though. Monday night we decided to focus more on being right on time to everything. So we did. We had a great nightly planning for the next day, Tuesday. Tuesday morning we had great studies, and we went to work Right On Time. We got to a complex of apartments and began tracting. A lady came up to us and yelled at us and told us how horrible our Czech was. I think we speak fairly well for only studying it for about 17 months. Anyway, we let her finish and walk away and then we continued. We finished and began on our way home for lunch scheduled at 12.30. ON the way right at the last second we decided to stop a lady near by. We stopped her and talked about families and testified of the importance of the gospel in the family. She listened and decided to let us visit her. We then got home Right At 12.30 on the dot. Lesson to be learned. Schedule time well and stick to your plans in life. When someone comes be to ruin your plan, act Christ-like and continue. Replace doubt, fear, and discouragement with optimism and faith. The set back might be a blessing; I saw it to be one since we would have missed the perfect timing to stop the other lady that we are now teaching. The Lord is a key part of this work and everyone of your lives. We should use His guidance and council. I know He lives and cares for each and every one of us. Do what the Lord expects and he will openly bless you.
Have a great week. Spring is here and life is well.
