Plzen

Hello! Another great week here in Plzen! <\br> This week we officially got an inactive member named Stano active again. My last companion and I contacted him a couple months ago and after a few times of not showing up we finally met with him. He had a problem with smoking so we helped him quit but then he lost his house. We gave him a blessing and after a couple months he doesn't smoke anymore, he found a place to live and received a calling in the young mens presidency. It was amazing to hear his testimony and how grateful he was that we helped him get back into the church. Also another investigator that we have has been coming to church every week and this week one of the old grandmas in the branch thought he was already a member because he talks to everyone and fits right in but when she asked him he said no but I am getting baptized on April 30th. So he is really excited about it and the members here already love him. Last Monday was pretty sad we saw a man on a motorcycle get hit by a drunk driver and died right outside of a Catholic Kostel. Drinking is such a big problem here, it is sad to see how many people suffer from it. On Tuesday we decided to do a chalk display and draw the plan of salvation. We started drawing and it was looking pretty good when all of the sudden this drunk man walks up, grabs our chalk and starts drawing right in the middle of the plan of salvation. He drew this huge cracked hear with and arrow through it and blood coming out, then started yelling "this is me, this is my exwife. She broke my hear." Then started swearing a lot. So we had to leave our half drawn display and find somewhere else to do it. But eventually it turned out alright and we taught a lot of people. This Sunday we didn't get to watch conference because we have to wait for it to get translated and so we will watch is next Sunday. But I am excited! I know that there is opposition in all things but no matter how difficult or challenging our life circumstance, God intends for us to act rather than be acted upon. 2 Nephi 2:14. I hope you all have a great week! Elder Paxton
