Another fantastic week here in the MTC!! On Sunday there was a devotional and there was an guy that just got back from his mission in the Czech Republic 6 months ago so after the devotional we went and talked to him for a while. It was super cool to hear what it's gonna be like. We have had three people talk about our mission in devotionals so far one was the old mission presidents there and they talked about how the missionaries got the church started in Slovakia, the second was in one of the video devotionals from Elder Holland about how Preach My Gospel basically came to be because of a couple of missionaries in Czech and the third was the Elder that just got back so it has been really cool to hear all of these stories about our mission!
Our lessons have been going really good lately! We got one of our investigators, Martin, to commit to being baptized next month and we had our last lesson with Petra because of the Holidays but we were able to help her with her smoking addiction and she is doing a lot better now. I'm doing well with the language too, I had coaching time with one of our teachers and he told me I am doing great with the vocab and grammar I'm mostly just working on reading out loud from the Book of Mormon in Czech so I can get smoother and quicker pronunciation. Then for our service day we were cleaning residence halls and we heard a rumor about a "pillow room" so we asked him about it and he took us in there! It was so cool a room just full of pillows so we got to mess around in there for a while. Yesterday we got to Skype again, we were lucky enough to talk to the same girl as last week so we got to know her more and since we already kind of knew her we were able to teach more to her needs so it went really well! We got 6 new missionaries in our zone going to Poland and they are all really cool! Me and my companion got asked to be the example missionaries for all of the new missionaries coming in that day so we did two examples of how to get to know new investigators. That was a cool experience! If any of you want to see a cool Christmas video look up "A Savior is Born" on lds.org and you can also change the language to Czech if you wanna know what it sounds like! I hope you all have a great week, I love you all!
Veselé Vánoce,
Starší Paxton
