| Welcome Elder Jacobson! |
What is up everyone! It was a pretty crazy week but I'll
start with transfer calls because that is probably all you care about! Hahaha!
SO we got the call Saturday morning about 8:50 which was nice we didn't have to
wait that long! So prez told me the news that I will be staying here in Liberec
and my new comp will be Elder Jacobson. I don't know if you all remember him but
he was in my district when I was in Jihlava, he's that cowboy! I love him and I'm way
excited to be with him! Its going to be fun! Elder Wutzke will be heading
over to Prague to be the new AP!!! I'm happy for him he sure deserved it! I love
Elder Wutzke and I will sure missing serving with him! Later that day after our
lesson with Dana and stuff, I got a call from Prez Hanzal in the stake
presidency saying that we would be having an interview later that day! I knew
that Elder Jones had been called as the new Branch President but little did I
know that my interview was because I was going to be called as his 2nd Counselor in
the Branch presidency! So that was pretty crazy! It was a good interview but it
will be pretty crazy because the other counselor is one of our Mongolian
friends so I'm the only one that really speaks Czech haha! I think my language skills will drastically improve this transfer! I was set apart
yesterday after Branch Conference, I asked him if they would do it in Czech so
that was cool! So I don't really know what exactly all my responsibilities are
but I know that I will be helping with interviews and will be leading church meetings and the basic stuff and really try to focus on LA members also to help
strengthen the Aaronic Priesthood! I got permission to read handbook 1 so that
will be really cool! I'll be learning a lot this transfer for sure! So that was
pretty much my weekend haha!
Sunday was sad though with everyone saying goodbye to Elder
Wutzke! It was hard to translate his testimony for the Jones and Mongolians
because I was a little sick (still am it sucks) But he made me cry like a lil
baby! It didn't help that I already had a stuffy nose. Yeah Sunday was a sad day
for sure but a great Sunday! It was nice to have the stake presidency there
because of Ward Conference amazing messages were shared!
Now from the beginning! Last Monday we finally got to meet
that La Family where the mom wants us to baptize her son! It was awesome they
own a farm and Hotel so they are pretty wealthy! They showed us their horses
and rabbits so that was cool! We had a good spiritual thought about Josef
Smith! Turns out that her husband is baptized but never received the
priesthood so our goal this transfer is to have the Dad baptize the son!! (we
have a lesson tonight I'm excited hopefully I'll feel a lil better though!)
Tuesday we did service for Jindra and then had a lesson with
Lukas he seems to be coming around more and actually listening! Still doesn't
want to try it!
Wednesday a guy in the branch called and asked if we could
go to the library and sit at a table for school kids and have them come around
and try to speak English! It was fun they had a lot of cool languages it was
kinda like a cultural day which was fun and good thing of service! We probably
had the best table! Then we had English classes that night!
Thursday we had a lesson with a guy that is in prison that
is a member! He had a couple days at home and him and Prez Poho are good
friends so he asked if we would go over! We had a good chat and I gave my first
blessing in Czech so that was pretty cool! Then we headed over to Jicin after
that for our last district meeting! It was good! then went and visited this
potential that we met a couple weeks ago she didn't have any interest haha but way
nice and she gave us fruit tea!
Friday we helped the people move out of the Jones new
apartment so that they can move in tomorrow! It was good then we had cultural
night! We went to the divadlo and saw Popelka(cinderella) Turns out it was modern and a Opera and in Italian! So YES it was way fun haha!! They had
czech subtitles up top so I was trying to use my language to understand haha I was lost the whole time! We had to leave early though so we could get home
before 9! It was a fun day!
It was a good week for sure but I'm excited for general
conference this week! I hear its going to be even crazier than last! Word on
the street is that Elder Christofferson was at the mtc and told everyone that
they better hold on to their seats for this one! soo it will be pretty crazy!!!
Love you all have a good week!
s laskou
Elder Heywood
