Ahoj!!

This week was wonderful! Partly because we had zone conference in Brno so I got to see everyone. It was a little weird too because it was the last time I'd see a few Czechs until after the mission! But I loved conference. Prezident gave a wonderful training. I absolutely love being a missionary! We are so immersed in the Gospel and it's great! I love being able to have the gospel as first priority. It's wonderful to be in the mission bubble, surrounded by other missionaries and to focus only on missionary work, the members, the investigators. Prezident gave us an awesome talk from Elder Bednar (Becoming a Preach My Gospel Missionary). Prezident also gave the best news ever!!! Our training in September will be in Kosice, the city of miracles! I'm so excited to go back!

 We also worked on our concert and it's going to be really cool! We've asked a few members to tell their conversion stories and they a few of us missionaries will share our testimonies. And of course we'll all sing! We more or less picked all the songs that have good harmonies and that we sound great on. We're also making I'm a Mormon profiles for everyone and a few big posters with things like the Articles of Faith and what not. 

A few of your questions:

1.  When is the concert?

A. October 1st! 

2. Are they running the “I’m a Mormon” campaign there?  I thought it went through UK but didn’t realize it was being run in other parts of Europe.

A. They haven't...we're doing our own. We're creating profiles for the members to fill out and to use at the concert. 

3.  Did finding open up more this week?

A. Well yes and no. We got more numbers this week and taught a little more than last week but only first lessons and no re-set-ups. But one specifically wants to meet again but he's not sure when seeing as he's very busy with work. 

Well that's it for today. I'll send pics soon.

S Laskou,
