"GPS"

At a zone conference not long ago, Sister Slovacek did a training on the importance of having a GPS= "Great Personal Study". We know that is vital to missionary work, but we have also learned the importance of having a GSP when driving in the Czech Republic. This month we started an outreach every Wednesday in the city of Hradecs Kralove, which is approximately 90 miles east of Prague. Our GPS has safely and accurately taken us to our destination and home again, although "we" have wanted to argue with it, we have learned to have faith in our GPS. What a great experience we have had in Hradecs. The first week only these three young people came, along with the missionaries.

After just four weeks we are up to eleven young people!!

There are some sweet miracles happening there. Many Mongolians are joining the church and I asked the Elders how they teach people who understand a little English and a little Czech? They told me they have Preach My Gospel in Mongolian, English and Czech. They point to the section in the book they want to explain and then the Holy Ghost does the teaching.
(Is that not faith!?!)

Last week we didn't have a car available and so we took the train. It was fun and relaxing to travel the rails and enjoy the countryside fly by. (No arguing with the GPS!)

Some family home evenings in Prague. . .

Two of the original church pioneers in the Czech Republic. Sestras Vilymova and Novakova came and shared their testimonies.


Last Thursday as I sat in the institute class in Prague my heart was touched and my eyes filled with tears as I observed 19 (a record attendance) gathered together with a desire to learn the gospel from the Book of Mormon, gain strength from each other and keep the commandments. It is a privilege to be apart of this work.
