Sestra Sariah Sadler: Česká republika - Week 6 Olomouc (some names changed for privacy)

So life is pretty great here in Olomouc! Our investigator Sámot came to church yesterday! And... he loved it!!! The night before church we talked with him about why church is so important and we talked about Sacrament, and just 3 Nephi 18 in general. And then, after Sacrament meeting he told us that everything just felt so nice at church, the people, the sincerity, the love aimed at everyone in the talks. It was great! And not only that, he stayed all three hours, plus he commented in both classes! I love it when people do that because you just get so much more instruction that way. I'm telling you, church is wonderful, the spirit felt there is beautiful! On top of all of this, guess what he did? He sang in our branch choir with us! What is this?!?! hahahahaha

On Tuesday of last week we had zone training! We went to Prague and I got to see a total of four of my MTC peoples there! (Starší Wutzke of course, Starší Andrus, and the Starší who are killin' it together, Satrší Gubler and Kevern!) And I got to see my last companion, Sestra Taylor! Training was way great! We were challenged to read 17 pages from the Kniha Mormonova/Book of Mormon every day in whichever language we want, outside of our personal studies, and we were asked to write down how we came to know that the Book is true and, we're studying about the Light of Christ. It's way great! I love the Book of Mormon so so sooo much! It just helps so much in life!

This week we went panelaking quite a bit, which is basically when we go to apartment buildings... there's a lot... and ring on each person's zvolnek/doorbell from outside the building. We get rejected a lot but this last time we went, there were two instances of people coming out to tell us their problem with us. One lady was okay... she just told her we were wasting our time because no one wants to hear our message... but then we found out that her mom who is such a cute little granny is actually a Christian! The other lady who came out though got upset with us, she was fuUunNy! She talked about how we were bothering people (even though we only talk to people for like 10 seconds before they tell us they aren't interested and hang up) and how she wasn't feeling well and how she was going to call the cops on us and all these things - don't worry we were legal and we had our legal papers for any instances like that - but then we just decided to leave because this lady was just getting worked up so we told her to have a nice day, and she said it back to us three times sounding more and more upset as she said it! I don't know what to do with people like that sometimes... getting upset over nothing hahahaha oh well!

Alright Imma end this off with today! Today we went on the ''tour de kosteles'', basically two of our YSAs, Sara and Terka (Tereza) brought us out to check out all of the main Catholic churches here in the city, it was pretty cool. I just love the architecture of Gothic churches so much and the stained glass mmmm beautiful! The paintings though.... they could maybe be a little less dreary :)
