HAPPY FLAG DAY!!

So this week went.

umm nothing huge, like I don't know, nothing is really standing out to me... lets see...

oh it was way cool, so yesterday, these two guys pass us, they kinda look super rough, pretty thug like, so we just passed them but said ,,dobry den" just like always and they pass us and then just a few minutes later we are now walking behind them... I don't know how that happened because we were going in opposite directions. then they stopped to take a smoke break and we pass them again, and say ,,dobry den" and the older one says, "ey! wbherl oe  adydear nodsr" (this was Ukrainian so I didn't understand it) so I was like "what?" and then he said it again, this time I understood, (Ukrainian and Czech are similar and he was speaking like half and half) he was just asking us what we were doing and then one thing led to another, and we ended up going to their apartment and meeting like these 6 Ukrainian guys and teaching about the Book of Mormon. it was cool.

yeah so that's my story.

we made burritos.

we went to the circus. one of the YSA was called up by the clown and took part in an act, it was funny.

church went well we had about 35 people. it was great, a lot of families.

next Sunday is combined district conference, it is going to be so cool. Rumor has it, an apostle might be there. we'll see.

​and to wrap it up here's an inspirational quote: "All men have their fears, but those who face their fears with faith have courage​ as well." -Thomas Spencer Monson

oh that's weird did I just write out his whole middle name hmm my bad.

-Spencer

"I used to be bulimic..."

..."YOU COULD READ MINDS!!??"

Yeah so why this quote you're probably wondering, well, this whole week I had strep throat and then this morning i threw up a bunch, and then nothing really came out so I went and ate some food and then kinda forced myself to throw up again to get everything out and it reminded me of this quote. 

but because of my sickness I don't remember the week and we also didn't do anything.

but as for the story that I was telling last week, umm yeah so they said she died, and we said, "well... humm" and then the woman who was talking to us said I'll go and get my husband he was related to her, so he comes out and invites us in so we walk in the gate and through the door and this old lady sees us and is just ecstatic that we are there, "oh come in come in come in!!"  So we go in, she feeds us and we are asking about the member.  Then this woman just told us all about how she knows all about the church and she has the book of mormon and how she wanted to learn more because of her cousin that was a member (the dead woman).

That was awesome!! and it just goes to show the importance of sharing the gospel to those who you care about, this woman was able to help us as missionaries from beyond the grave because of the incredible example that she put forth in the life that she lived.  Share the gospel with those around you! It is your duty as a child of God to help everyone get closer to him!

thanks for all the emails they were great this week!
