Family and friends,
How is everybody?? This week has been another great week!
I had probably one of the weirdest lesson I have ever had. There is this former investigator that comes to English class and game night but stopped meeting the missionaries a while ago and all it said in the record was that she wasn't making progress. So we decided to meet with her again and in our lesson she started telling us that she is not a normal person, ever since 2009 she has been going through a change and can now speak with the "devine." She has her own company and heals people by reading them and with the communication with the devine she can heal them. Throughout she whole lesson she kept doing this weird shaking thing acting like a spirit was going through her. We also had a member there and after the lesson he advised us not to meet with her again. Then she came to game night on Friday and Elder Carlson was talking to her more about what she believes and her work and she ended up trying to bless my companion!! She is pretty crazy!
The we went to my favorite granny's house, Sister Komancova's. She always feeds us so much and it is amazing! Then she pulls out all of her pictures and goes on forever about them. It is the best!
We have been doing service for this super rich guy out in Křimice and he owns like half of the city and on Saturday he had a big event to remember the American pilots that freed their city so he invited us because we have been helping him and we are American then when he gave his speach he announced us as missionaries so that everyone would talk to us. It was super successful and we talked to so many people. The also played the American National Anthem, I didn't think I would hear that for a whole 2 years!
We have also been pretty busy getting a baptism ready for our investigator Zdeněk. He is was excited to get baptized! So we got everything ready and he is getting baptized on Saturday!
Next Monday is transfers so it is probably my last week in Plzeň. Pretty sad. I love this city and all the members but I am super excited to see where I will end up.
I hope you all have a great week!
S laskou,
Starší Paxton
