These last two weeks have been way fun here. We went to Catholic Mass and I got a sick pic with the head priest cause we have been meeting with him and he is reading the Book of Mormon. Then we went to Hukvaldy with a member and investigator. On Monday we transferred and since I am training I got to go to Prague and have my pday there so Elder Hudson and I spent the whole day in Prague and it got trdelniks and what not. I got my greenie and he is really cool. He is a super nice guy and works hard so we are having fun. We got invited to the University to do a presentation for an hour and a half so we went and it turned out way good. The students and teachers were asking way hard questions but Elder Cardon and I wrecked them with the Spirit! haha Then on Saturday we were waiting for a train but I needed to pee so I crossed the train tracks and went pee then all of the sudden the cops show up and gave me a ticket for crossing the tracks. They were going to make me and Elder Andrus pay 500kc but I made a deal with them and only I had to pay 200kc. haha crazy right!? Then Yesterday we visited an investigator in prison. He got arrested because they think he is here illegally but he has a visa they just wouldn't let him go back to Jicin to get it so finally his friend sent it in the mail to the police but they still havent let him out. We had to walk for a good 30 minutes to make it out there.So it's been pretty fun.
This week I've been studying about the Holy Ghost and I found a pretty cool quote that helps us understand what his role is. Have a great week!
One of the chief functions of the Holy Ghost is to bear witness of God the Father and Jesus Christ, his Son. The apostle Paul, in writing to the Corinthian saints, told them that “no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” (1 Cor. 12:3.)

This week was one of the best weeks on my mission! Michal from Olomouc is moving to Sweden so for his last day he came to Ostrava on our pday. He is honestly my favorite person here. I am so sad that he is moving to Sweden for 2 years. Then the next day a senior couple came to check our apartments and they are also my favorite! Haha I have a lot of favorite people. Then we had training so we went to Hradec Kralove. On Sunday the crazy guy that fell in love with the sisters came again and got up during sacrament. The stake president was there though and he is one of the most spiritual men I have ever met. We got to teach a lesson with him after sacrament and it was the most powerful lesson I have ever taught. It was crazy. We had a few meetings with him and he was telling us how he got baptised during communism and all of the things he has been through. He is in charge of the entire Czech Republic and has to travel all over the country making sure everything is going well. He is a saint for sure. Also he is way loaded, he owns a Tesla and 1/3 of Prague! Today we have a lesson with the priest so I am excited to see what he has to say about the Book of Mormon. This week is the last week of the transfer so next Monday I will probably get moved to a different city. Moving here sucks so wish me luck! haha Well thats pretty much everything for this week!:)
“Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more." - The greatest thing we have is the opportunity to change and be forgiven. The Lord wants to forgive each and every one of us, we just have to act first.
