Čau,
I hope everyone has had a good week. Mine has been great. I can't believe that it is already the last week of the transfer. We get transfer calls on Saturday!
Monday the mission conference at Hotel Štamberk was incredible. We drove there with the Glasser's. It was a lot of fun to see everyone. There was a very powerful spirit there. We sang precious savior, dear redeemer for president. Then President and his wife did a fireside and gave us marriage advice. Haha. I love them so much. They are incredible people.
Tuesday we got up and the mission Preisident's wife led us in some Yoga. Then we got ready and continued the conference. We received some great training. We now all have emergency kits in case something bad happens. Then 11 missionaries gave their testimonies before they go home in 2 weeks. President and his wife also bore their testimonies. The spirit was so strong and there were a lot of tears going around the room. Then President drove the Elders and us to a train station so we could make it back to české budějovice. It was a wonderful conference.
Wednesday morning we returned to a house that we had tracted earlier this transfer that said we could come back. The lady was nice and said she had someone over at the moment but that we could return on Friday! Then we tried to visit a less active. She answered her doorbell through the speaker and then claimed she wasn't home, and was at work. Well, that was not the truth. Oh well. Then we had some time to Skype our families. I got to watch my sweet little brother open his birthday presents and sing him happy birthday in Czech. We also went grocery shopping and cleaned our house. It was like half of a p-day.
Thursday was quite busy. We planned on visiting a returning member to bring her some food, but she got the things she needed from her sister, so we just ended up going shopping with Sister Churdlova. Then we went to lunch with Gita who is a member. Afterwards, we had a lesson with Bronislav and invited the Elders to come so we could take him on a tour of our building. We had a good lesson with him about faith and repentance. Next, we had a powerful lesson with Andrea. We taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ and committed her to be baptized on July 20th. She really trusts us and came to us with some concerns that we were able to answer with the spirit. It was a really cool experience.
Friday we had a lesson with vaclav and it went really well. He mostly needed to talk about some things to get then off his chest. Then we ran over to another lesson to a woman we tracted into. We taught her the restoration but she just really wasn't that interested. Her heart just wasn't opened yet. Then we visited Vera and shared a spiritual thought with her. She painted a cute picture of horses and gave it to me. We had a potential cancel on us again, hopefully one of these days we will catch him. Then we went to dinner with the Elders and Vojtěch.
Saturday was really fun because we had a biking activity in Třebon. We had members there I had never met before and also 2 of our investigators. It was a successful turnout. We biked around a lake and then we had a fire and roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. Then we came home and cleaned the church. Then a member walked in to the church while we were cleaning and said we had to go to the town square to see the half marathon. I couldn't believe how many people were running! We couldn't get home because we couldn't cross the road due to the constant, heavy stream of runners! It was so much fun and it brought back a lot of cross country and track memories for me.
Sunday we had quite a few people at church, more than we have had for a while which I thought was really cool. I bore my testimony about Book of Mormon because President Pohořelicky gave us a challenge to read 20 pages out of the Book of Mormon every day in preparation for the new mission President who comes on June 29th. My testimony of the book of Mormon had truly grown a lot on the mission. After church we went and visited a less active with the Elders. They gave her the sacrament and we shared a spiritual thought. Then we had a lesson with Šarka who really opened up to us. We taught her the plan of salvation and focused on the atonement. Then we came home and did weekly planning because we have literally had no time this week to do it.
Today we went to Dívči Kamen. It was really pretty castle ruins. It was also a pretty hike through the forest.
I hope you all have a great week.
Love you,
Sestra Guymon
