Hradec Kralove

So we finally got to watch conference this week which was good. It's amazing how we can always hear what we need to at General Conference. This week we had an exchange in Prostejov so I was with another greenie. It was pretty good to be back in the Olomouc area and get to contact in Prostejov for the day. We found a really cool mom and taught her a lesson. Then we went to Olomouc for a district meeting there and we had a lesson with Sara so that was fun. We are trying to get her to go on splits with the sister missionaries in Olomouc but right now she's not so down for that yet but I'm sure she will some day.
Last week I was on an exchange with Elder Simms and I had him pray to know who we needed to look for that day and the first thing that came to his mind was a guy smoking. That day we set up with a guy smoking and yesterday Elder Flindt and I went and taught a lesson at his house. It was pretty cool to see how the Lord led us to those that needed to hear our message. We have also been teaching this Ukrainian family which has been a lot of fun but I think their little 5 year old daughter has fallen in love with me cause she keeps trying to hug me and sit on my lap when we go and teach them. ha
We went to my favorite antique store last week and bargained with the old man there, we are pretty good buddies now days cause we make a lot of deals together. This time his son showed up and was so brain dead from all of the alcohol he drinks. It was pretty sad to see how bad it has messed him up cause he could be really smart, he was speaking English and French but had no idea what was going on around him.

1 Kings 19:11-12
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

in light of all the stuff that's going on in the world it just reminds us of what is important. There have been hurricanes in the south, earthquakes in Mexico, Fires in the northwest and just to make sure that we are really deaf to the warning signs,there was a huge shooting in Las Vegas. So thank goodness for that still small voice that we got to hear this past weekend in Conference. The Lord is always there for us, we just have to be ready to listen to the still small voice when there is so much noise going on around us. Have a good week!

Sbohem,
