Ahoj,
Well, I have recieved my last transfer call of the mission. It is bitter-sweet. In my very first interview with President Gehring, he told me I would likely train for the remainder of my mission, well, he wasn't kidding. I'm training again a new missionary straight from the MTC.
Monday we spent some time with the young single adults in the ward. President gave us permission to ride the ferris wheel, so we did that and then went and got churros at the christmas markets.
Tuesday we had district council and did a testimony meeting. Then we went and heart attacked some member's homes. It was a lot of fun. We had to get creative to get some hearts onto a tall window because you can't get to their front door without a key to enter the apartment building. 😂 Then we did our studies and taught English. We had quite a few students this week. One of the students found out we had transfers and was super sad, but he said he might come to church on Sunday to say goodbye. So that was cool. He told us there was something different about us and that we shine. I have had a few really good gospel conversations with him.
Wednesday we did our studies. Afterwards, we called less active YSA and invited them to the YSA party. We helped Brother Ferrell wrap some gifts and set up. We had a really good turn out and had about 5 investigators there. We ate hamburgers and played white elephant. The YSA in this ward are absolutely incredible they are all so close. Brother Ferrell surprised us and sent us sisters on a treasure hunt around the church building. We ended up at his car where he had made walnut bars for us! He is the best!
Thursday we did weekly planning. Then we went and visited the De Vries who just got back from vacation. It was good to talk to them and share a thought. From there we went and visited the Wojda's. They made us dinner and we shared the Christ Child video. Then we came home and did our studies.
Friday we went and did service for a lady. We posted on Facebook looking for service opportunities and this lady responded so we went over and helped her organize her house. We went through a lot of stuff. She made us soup for lunch then we came home and did our studies. After that we went to the relief society activity and made baked tea. We baked fruit to put into a jar to use later as tea. We also made bath bombs. Then we went to Simone's for dinner and he cooked us Italian pasta with Italian cheese that his mom sent him. It was yummy!
Saturday was transfer calls. President called and he told me I was staying in Brno training a new missionary. Sis Lewis is going to Uherské Hradiště with a Slovak sister and Sister Scott is going to Česke Budjovice with Sister Draper who I trained 2 transfers ago. So we were all pretty excited. We did our studies and made some cards for members. Then we went to support Didi at his hockey game and brought a returning member with us. From there we grabbed pizza for lunch and went to the church to teach Kuba the Plan of Salvation. Then we went over the area and my companions started packing while I cleaned.
Sunday was a busy day. We had a wonderful time at church and the sisters said goodbye to people. Then we went to visit a member in the hospital who just had surgery. After that we went to dinner with a family in the ward. It was delicious. We came home and my companions finished packing and we tried to figure out everyone's travel plans. It was pretty messy, but we got it figured out.
Today was super crazy getting everyone and their luggage to different train and bus stations. But, we did it! Sister Hodgson who is also training is staying the night and then we will go to Prague together tomorrow for a training, sleep over, and pick our new missionaries up and bring them home on Wednesday.
I hope this christmas season that we can get out of the tinsel, ribbons, and presents and remember the birth of our Savior. He came into the world on a mission. A mission that made it possible to overcome the fall of Adam and Eve, our sins, and the world. He died and was resurrected and made it possible for us to return to live with our Heavenly Father again! How grateful I am for my Savior! I pray that we can keep our thoughts focused on Him this Christmas.
S laskou,
Sestra Guymon
