yeah. so firstly. the picture is of the library where we email. everytime i walk past the boulder and say to myself, wow! that is a big rock! (in czech of course, so it's jejda! to je opravdu velky kamen!) it's good fun. also the first picture after my haircut today. there are few things as dear to a missionary as a place where you can get a nice, cheap, quick haircut. it's the simple things in life :)
anywhos back to the week!
first amazing question was after english a guy we've been meeting with, who is an absolute stud, toward the end of a lesson focused on God being our Heavenly Father, asked us "what is prayer?" we've invited him to pray probably close to 5 times now... but he's all the sudden interested in it now that he understands what kind of relationship we have with God. just like in the bible dictionary- something like, (poorly quoted) "when we understand our relationship with God, prayer becomes a natural action." so true.
the next million dollar questions came yesterday. one of our investigators who has not been making huge progress asked us how he could know if the book of mormon was true (it makes missionaries smile hearing that question). so we've got great plans for him now! and in a first lesson yesterday this young couple contacted while on exchanges asked what it takes to be a member of the church. uhhhh well meet with us a few times so you can learn some commandments and basic doctrines. and a dip in the baptismal font and receiving the Holy Ghost later and then your done! haha no. we didn't say that. although wild funny responses came into my mind. it was a nice opportunity to testify of baptism and what it is. it was a really really cool lesson. we're pretty pumped for where there will go :)
the zone leaders came down for a day which was a real pleasure. they're really cool guys! PS one of them (elder osterloh) knows president fisher! from MT. he had a picture of him and i said, hold on! i know that guy! haha it was awesome. so tell the fishers hello! had a really great time with them teaching and finding and studying and all kinds of stuff. it was a blast. really learned a lot about leadership in general from them. it's weird moving zones cause you get a whole different look with new zone leaders and it's just a different identity and everything. great fun :) haha
in other news elder lisonbee may have stumbled upon the biggest burger i've seen in a while. plan on a picture of that next week... we're going to fast and then feast or maybe skip the fast and just feast :D hahahahaha
