Hello everyone, today
marks the halfway point of this transfer so it's a pretty cool day I guess you
could say. This past week was pretty cool, we didn't really do much out of the
ordinary but we had a lot of fun and we worked hard so I guess that counts for
something. Next week we will be doing a lot more fun things and the week after
that will be a fun week as well because we're planning on going to the tatry
with one of the members here so we're excited for that. We've also planned on
going to a castle today so I'll have to take pictures of that and then also of
the other activities that are going on this week we'll have to take some
pictures as well. Everything is going fine I think, it will be a smooth ending
of the transfer I think and hope but that is still a few weeks away. I think
I'll be able to work until the end, it kind of feels like I got a fire under me
because I realize that I'm leaving soon so I have to get in every minute
and make it count. I hope it all works out and everything happens how it is
supposed to and then we'll see about the future. It's been a rewarding week and
the time just keeps on rolling.
I'll start with the
investigators this time because there is some progress but there is also some
sad news but not so sad. The sad news first is that our family is no longer on
date. They said they talked about it and they don't feel the need to change
their church yet. So we're back to square one but they did commit this week to
come to church and try it out. So one day before I leave they will definitely be
coming to church, they have to haha. I know they have felt the spirit and I
think they're really close they just need an extra push. I think they will make
it eventually, they just need some good teaching and they will get it. They're
more spiritual now and I think that they're coming along well, they're just a
normal Slovak catholic haha. Some of the other things though is that one of our
dates seems set on getting baptized so we're hoping that she gets going
unfortunately she didn't come to church but that's okay we'll keep on trying to
get there there, people's agency can be annoying haha but we have to live with
it. We're also headed to the catacombs this week that are under the main square
and we're excited for that because some of our investigators are coming and they
are excited for that too haha/\. The Norwegian and the Bulgarian that we're now
teaching are planning on coming so we'll have a full group. Then one of them
might also come with us to Trencin so it’s pretty cool. We found pretty well
this week and we tried our best and we'll continue to try hard all the way until
the end.
Like I talked about in
the last paragraph, we're planning on going to the catacombs this week on
Friday, it's something that I have always wanted to do while I'm here in Zilina
ever since I heard it was possible. I don't think missionaries have ever done it
because most people don't know that it's possible to go to and all that. I don't
think any of the members knew about it until we asked them about it so it will
be cool. Then on Saturday we're going to Trencin for the celebration of the
dedication of Slovakia. That will be there on the hill and there will be games
and food so I'm excited about that. Then of course next Monday, Brother Seidl
said we can go to the Tatry with him, those are the mountains in the middle of
Slovakia where missionaries haven't been in a long time. We're allowed to go
because we're doing our culture night and we're going to be with Brother Seidl
so it will be a pretty awesome time. We're also going to help him this week cut
down some trees again, we did that with him twice last week. He owns a tree
cutting business and he invites us to come when he's in Zilina which isn't very
often. He has a lot of work. Around the country but now he has a ton of work
here in Zilina.
Well that's pretty much
everything I have this week, sorry if it's a little short, my life is boring
haha. Well at least I do the same things over and over just like the rest of the
last 2 years but whatever thanks for all the support and emails have a great
week!
