August 19 Letter

Wow! what a week! I don't really know where to begin!
 
we went down to Jihlava on exchanges with elder Prymak (he's great! I'm pretty sure he was the one training me!) I stayed in pardubice, and elder eliason got to go back to trebic with his old companion, elder king! (another one of my favorites!)  IT was a blast of a 24 hours. we found some wonderful things, saw some great miracles. Missions are wonderful!
 
as part of the exchange elder eliason and I gave a little presentation on finding. It was great. a little dry run for the training we have this week! (aH! trainings! I secretly can't wait for it, but we still have a lot of preparation to do before we are ready for it) It was a blast, we both felt really good about it before, during and after. and Elder prymak said to me later it was exactly what he was looking for. I love the gospel!
 
In other news I am getting a crash course of driving in the czech republic. i am very safe! i meant crash course in that we are driving a fair amount lately (we have tons of MOTAB cd's to listen to, so that's taken care of! I love the choir! It is wonderful music) and i may or may not have made a few wrong turns. But thanks to intricate planning, even with a few wrong turns we should stay within our milage limit. yay, planning!
 
We had a great week! tons of lessons, a few wild teaching opportunities, and some great new insights into the scriptures! I've been studying how to get revelation a little lately, and been reading a lot from Joseph smith history and a talk by elder scott (the man knows how to get revelation! well both of them do! :)  I've been learning oodles but a few things have just been having a place to receive revelation, and having the faith to work for it and receive it. I've been seeing a lot of answers to prayers lately, the only trick now is to recognize them as they are happening! instead of when i write about them or ponder about them later.
 
The zone had a great week! It is great to see the big picture!
 
sorry for the short time. i'll write you first next week.
 
i'm studying alma 18 right now for a while so feel free to join if you want to (share insights :)
 
love you tons momma thanks so much for the email!
