Hello Everyone!!
This week we have
Zone Conference in Brno and our district is super excited because we'll
be doing a musical number! We'll be singing "Savior, Redeemer of My Soul" in
Slovak (well, I'll be playing the piano) and we're hoping President McConkie will
play his violin with us! I'm going to get someone to record it so you'll
be able to enjoy it as well. ;)
Our investigators
have had some challenges this week...there's opposition in all things.
P was going to be baptized but his mom has some concerns so she hasn't signed the
permission form. It's so disappointing. He really wants to be baptized
and said he'll just wait 1.5 yrs until he's old enough. We have a girl,
D, in our branch who was in the same situation so we're going to
ask her to share her story with him. P is taking it very well and told us that this just means
he'll know everything by the time he's old enough to be baptized. He's
such a cool kid.
We taught PK about the word of wisdom this week and she asked if she were to be baptized if she
had to follow it so of course we said yes. Then she said she would. We
called her later in the week and she was struggling. She really likes
coffee and said the first day she went without coffee was the worst day at
work and she had a huge headache. But another sister told her about an
experience she had when detoxing and said that's how she'd felt the
first week of a detox but after that first week she felt great. So we're
hoping she'll be strong and stick with it.
Our district has
been doing a lot together this past week. We did some singing displays
to advertise for our Musical Night. It's a little unnerving because there's
only 4 of us so that means 3 missionaries sing while the other one
contacts and we rotate out after 2 or 3 songs. Once, a member came and
contacted for us while we were singing. It was such a great help. Also
we've been doing some group contacting for Family History Class (which
is struggling a bit). We pick a spot/section of the Namestie and all
split up and contact in that area (staying within sight and sound, of
course ;)) for an hour or two. It's really cool as it gives an extra
boost of confidence knowing you have the other companionship there as
well. It's been really effective thus far...we've gotten lots of names
and numbers.
Well our district
went on a diet. Starsi Guymon follows this diet and one day, we sisters
were complaining about being fat (okay we know we're not but still it
would be nice to be thinner) so Starsi Guymon suggested we all go on a
diet. There are a few rules...
1. No Sugars
2. No Whites (this means no starches or milk)
3. No Fruit
4. Eat the same 3 meals
5. Go crazy on cheat day (once a week you have a day where you can eat
anything! Our is on monday b/c we never really take time to eat...we
just eat bread or something on the go. It gives us more time.)
6. You're not allowed to starve.
7. Everytime you break the diet, you eat a beet. (Basically this wipes
your system clean and thus counteracts the sugar/starch/fruit/dairy you
just ate.)
8. Once you hit your target weight you're done.
So
I'm not particularly good at dieting and to say the least I've eaten a
lot of beets. But they don't actually taste that bad and this week I
promise to be good and actually follow the diet.
So I've run out of time but I love you all and wish you a beautiful day!
I love you!!
S Laskou,
Sestra Whitney Sarah Johnson <3
