Half Way Through July Already!

Dobrý Den Všichni!

 

How is everyone?  I know you all can't answer me, but think of how blessed you are.  Here in the Czech Republic the question 'How are you?' is taken literal.  People say good, fine, and even bad.  For those of you out there who when taking this question literally, answer bad... Think again.  Life is great and God takes care of us.  Maybe right now we don't have the best circumstances, but God can provide in these difficult times.

 

July is already half way through.  It is going by fast.  My week this week has been a good one.  We got 3 new people to teach.  We have 4 people in preparation to baptism.  We could be teaching more, but we are doing good for how much we are teaching.

Also this last week I had an exchange with the zone leaders.  For those of you who don't know missionary terms, this means that I work with a different missionary (a leader) for one day.  I learned much from him.  I have a testimony that our leaders are called of God to help us in the time they are called.  God knows who is best for teaching us a certain thing, or even us teaching a someone else.  The exchange was last Wednesday.

 

Church went well even though ever week fewer and fewer members are coming.  This branch here is really struggling.  Some prayers could help them.  At church, the talks were all relating to Family History.  We are planning on helping the members here learn about their ancestors.  On FamilySearch.org there are few Czech entries.  A new person came to church named Laďa.  He is not a member but we are going to start teaching him.  He sounds great.

 

Today for P-Day we went on a bike ride with Brother Šir.  He is a great member and is a strong point of our branch.  I got a little pink from the sun.  It was a beautiful day.  It was beautiful to see the countryside of South Bohemia.  Later today we have a lesson with one of our investigators who is preparing for baptism.  The rest of the week should be a normal week, but we will see miracles.  Each week is new and has to be gone into with fear replaced with faith.

 

Everyone have a great week and don't forget about all the blessings you have.
