Olomouc
Another great week in Olomouc. We had some really cool experiences with the members this week. One of the YSA males called us the other day and was talking to us about some decisions he has to make and so we talked with him about how he can know what the right decision is. At the end of the call we prayed together then I told him to pray on his own after. The next day he came up to me and told me that he got his answer and told me about how he got it. It was a really good experience for me to see the Lord answer prayers. A YSA female got her mission call this week and will be leaving next month on a mission. There aren't a lot of YSA in the Czech Republic that have support from their families which makes it even harder for them to stay active. This girl is the only member in her family and has such a strong testimony.
We were tracting last week and met a girl that was 17 years old, it was raining a lot and nobody was home so we said we would come back. We met with her this week and turns out that she is battling breast cancer for the 3rd time and she is only 17!! We talked a lot about how we can turn these trials into a learning experience and how we can use it to help other people. It was awesome to see so much hope in her.
Also last Monday we had our FHE bbq and played badminton but lost the birdie over the fence. Other than that I just had an exchange with Elder Page and we also found out that one of our investigators is in the mafia and in bad with some loan sharks so we will see how that goes.
I hope you all have a great week.
