Well it's the third to last transfer for me. It starts now
and I have yet to do a lot of work. We'll see if I make everything happen. It
will be hard but I think I can manage. This past week we have been doing a lot
of stuff, mainly as a branch and all of that stuff. We planned a concert and
also a party which was in Banska Bystrica, and all of that was good. Then we
also found out transfers and I also started doing Tithing Settlements this week
and all of that was very busy and took me a way from things. But I think we still
did excellently this week. At the very least I can tell you right now that I
will be staying in Zilina, and if you want more you will just have to wait and
find out.
I guess I can start with all of the
meetings we had this week. We first started out with some Tithing settlement
meetings with a lot of people and that was all fine and stuff like that.
Everything went fine and I'm still planning other meetings with other people all
around we will see how everything plays out. We met with the family as we always
do and I can see how much they like what we are saying, I think that they have
the most potential out of everyone that we are teaching and I think they are
genuinely interested. I don't think however that we should be necessarily
pushing them and then moving on when they aren't progressing in 3 weeks. Some
people would have us push them super hard into coming to church and getting
baptized, but I do not feel that that is the right step with them and
as such, I won't be doing it. I feel I have been inspired as to how I should handle
the situation, and so that will be how it is. We had some other lessons with
people before we left as well. We met with our Norwegian friend and he is doing
fine, I think he is converted to our church but he just needs to be converted
to God because he believes our church is the most tolerant, and I think he
believes that our church is the best of the ones that he has studied. We just
need to help him see that God exists and is real, but that is hard haha. We also
met with a few other people and when we contacted, we found some cooler people
and that was nice in general, it was all in all a good way to finish off the
transfer.
We also did a lot of things this
week with the district. We had out concert and that was nice, we had planned to
just do a few numbers and then play a video and then have a member give a talk
and all of that went down without a hitch. The only unfortunate part was that
not many people came to it, we had the mom of the family there and we had 3
members and then one of the investigators of the other elders came and we all
had a blast just hanging out and eating food. We then had our party in Banska
and that was good as well. Since it was in Banska we only had one member come
from Zilina but it worked out. They had a few members come and then a lot of
people from their English class came and that made it seem full. We ate Cabbage
soup and ham and cookies and all sorts of things. Then we also had a White
Elephant exchage so everyone grabs something and then the next person can take your gift
and then you have to get a new one, or keep the one, so I wound up with a block of wood with a
marble stuck in it. It is actually really cool because it is kind of like a
puzzle and you have to manuver the marble out of the block of wood, it is
actually a pretty cool little thing.
So
finally I think it is time to tell you all about transfers. We got our call
while we were in Banska because the party was on Saturday so right before the
party starts we all start getting our calls, so it kind of interrupts the
beginning of the party and everyone is talking. I think that I got called first
out of everyone. President told me that he is having me train again, so that is
what is happening. I will be going to Prague
tomorrow with Elder Garner who is also training and we will
be getting our Newbies then. Elder Dupre was told that he is going to a place
called Jicin, it is a tiny city but has a ton of members and was one of the
first 4 cities opened up in the Czech republic. He will be serving with Elder
Weyland, who he was actually with in the MTC. So it is pretty cool for him. It
is pretty interesting this transfer, President is having his former assistant come to
Slovakia to Zvolen and he is having him train a Slovak missionary, he also made
Elder Garlick, one of 3 aps. It is interesting to say the least but it doesn’t
really affect me so I don’t really care. It is going to be wild at the very
least, and I'm going to be broke because we have to travel a ton and I am not
looking forward to it but what are ya gonna do?
Well that is pretty much everything that I have for you today. As for
Skype, We will be
skyping at 6 my time, and I think 10 your time, if that works for you. If you
can, please add Zilina.branch on skype. That will be the skype that we will be
using so thanks in advance for that. Well, I love you all and have a great
week!
