Well I have to say that it is super crazy that i am starting
my 4th week in the field already!! It seems like it has gone so fast, my first
transfer is almost half way done! This week was really good so i guess I'll start
from the beginning!!
So Monday was just normal I finally got a nice jacket which
was just in the nick of time because boy it is starting to get pretty chilly
here. its about 45 degrees everyday!!
Tuesday I went on a exchange with Elder Neilson which way
fun!! So Monday night I headed on over to Frydek Mystek round 2! They had no
lesson planned or anything so we went contacting all day!! It was way good we
would switch off every person and it was nice because it gave me a lot of time
to practice my Czech. We didn't set up any appointments or lessons with anyone
but we ran into some eventful characters and a couple Satan worshipers so that
was pretty sick!! Oh and also it literally poured all day Tuesday so that made it
even more fun!! We handed out a lot of pass along cards and a couple
restoration and plan of salvation pamphlets to the people who were a little
more interested then asked them to pray about it! and that was pretty much my
day Tuesday!
Wednesday was about the same as Tuesday but back in Ostrava
and no rain thankfully!! A lot of contacting which is way good for me to get out
of my comfort zone and talk to The Czechs in their beautiful hard language!!
Highlight of Wednesday was contacting this lady on the tram all by myself and
giving here a passalong card! She was a very nice mom and we talked about
families and I just bore testimony that families can be together forever and
that if she had interest to calls us because she rejected my offer to exchange
phone numbers haha!!
Thursday was the same as Wednesday just contacting all day
and then we had to hang out at the church for a couple hours because the
sisters had a couple lessons and we have to be there if they are teaching males
just in case something bad happens!
Friday we had district meeting then did group finding and
contacted about game night and sports night which are on friday and saturday
nights!! A guy showed up to game night so you could say that is was a success!!
Saturday General Conference!!!!!!!! Conference was
awesome!!!! I loved it there was so many super good talks!! I'll give my
favorites in a bit!! I think the main message of this conference was service! service is the key to happiness!! I loved it!!
Sunday was way good too! The sessions Sunday were awesome
then after conference finished we went tracting and got a return visit with this
lady for tomorrow so we were pretty pumped about that!! SO here in the Czech
Republic people have the coolest dogs here! Like everyone has just a huge dog!
When tracting people just have the coolest dogs in their yards! This guy
literally had a small polar bear in his yard it was huge!! I took a video but
don't have time to upload it or anything! But the coolest dogs by far are the
wolfs! They literally breed dogs with wolves and they are the sickest dogs ever I want one so bad!!!!!
Ok General Conference so my favorite talks were probably
Pres. Uchtdorf Saturday morning about our migration to heaven. there were so
many important things mentioned in that talk it was awesome. I also loved
Pres. Nelsons talk about the Book of Mormon and where we would be without it! I
know I would not be on a mission without is that is for sure!! I know that the
Kniha Mormonova je pravdivy a věřime že to je slovo boží. That Book is a
crucial part of my testimony!!! Also Tad R McCallisters talk on the book of
Mormon was flawless!! Then Elder Oaks talk on families was fire!!! The family
is so important and we cant let the foolish world break them apart!!! So many
great messages!!! But it was pretty sad when they announced the death of Elder Hales and not seeing President Monson there was weird!! All in all it was a
fantastic conference!!
So today we are taking a little vilet(trip) over to Stromberk which is a cool little town with a castle!! SO ill have some sweet
pics for next weeks letter!! Sorry i dont have any this week I love you all!!!!
love,
Starší Heywood

contracting or just proselyting the rest of the day.
we usually get back to our apartment around 8 and have
dinner then we just kinda relax! President has challenged us all to read 13
pages from the old testament each day to finish it before the end of the
transfer so we usually do that. And that is the normal day here in the
good ole Czech republic!!
