Frydek-Mistek
Hello! Another great week in Fydek Mistek! We had some pretty cool experiences with finding this week so things have been going well. The other day we had just got back from visiting our investigator in prison and it was pouring rain but we saw this mom with 2 kids so we stopped them and asked the mom who Jesus Christ was according to her. She told us the she isn't a believer but that her daughter was. Her daughter was like 5 years old!! haha the little girl looked at us and said yeah I believe in God and Jesus Christ! It was the best thing I have ever seen. The mom then told us about how her parents died when she was 18 so she couldn't believe that a god existed and would let that happen. We taught about the Plan of Happiness and testified about eternal families then invited her to learn more so she looked at her daughter and asked if she wanted to talk with us more about God and the little girl thought about it for a while then said yeah so the mom set up with us for this week! Then we gave the kids pictures of Jesus and they were way pumped. It was the coolest experience. The craziest thing was that the 5 year old girl believed in God, because basically nobody believes in God here especially if nobody else in their family believes. The mom had a son about 7 years old with her as well but he didn't believe so I don't know why the little girl believed but it was pretty sweet.
We were also tracting this week when we saw a guy building a fence and he said I already read about you guys if you really want to help come build my fence. So I went and started building him a fence. He was way shocked because we were in white shirts and ties and he didn't expect that we would really help. As we worked he asked us all sorts of questions about our church and we were able to share our message with him and set up to came back again.
This week we also had the country wide Uklidme Cesko where people all around the Czech Republic take time on Saturday to clean up the cities they live in. It was pretty fun. Fydek Mistek is a really clean city so it was pretty easy for us.
We also got to watch conference and that was really cool. It's such a blessing for us to be able to receive guidance from a living day prophet. Here are some wise words from President Monson:
If you are not reading the Book of Mormon each day, please do so. If you will read it prayerfully and with a sincere desire to know the truth, the Holy Ghost will manifest its truth to you. If it is true—and I solemnly testify that it is—then Joseph Smith was a prophet who saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.
Have a great week.
