Ostrava

Another awesome week here in Ostrava!
Last week at our Thanksgiving party we met a young kid that is 16 years old. We set up with him and have already had 4 lessons with him since then. It's pretty cool to see the change in his life! He also came to church yesterday and it was a very interesting testimony meeting. The sisters had an investigator come and right after the sacrament he was the first one to go up to speak. He sat up there for 35 minutes just going on about how he fell in love with one of the sister missionaries and how all of us are wrong because we believe in a book. Finally the bishop asked him to sit down then all of the members went up and bore strong testimonies basically just against everything the guy said. Then we had Gospel Principles class and he came in a started arguing with the teacher but the teacher just shut him down hard core. The investigator just kept going on and on about how all of this stuff was wrong then all of the sudden this YSA member gets up in his face and went off on him. It was way sick. He was like you can tell us we are wrong all day, reject what we say, reject God, and reject the Book of Mormon but you can never reject what we have found. You don't know what I have in my heart! Basically he was just spittin fire so the guy finally stopped arguing. It was probably the sickest church meeting I have ever been to.
On Thursday we had exchanges with the Zone Leaders. They both came here so we had 4 of us packed in our tiny apartment but it was way fun. We also stopped at this donut shop that sells giant American donuts but it just closed! We were way upset when all of the sudden I look down and see a box slightly wet from the rain with 2 fresh donuts in it. The donuts were perfectly fine though. It was a blessing from God for sure!:) The church is true.
