WEEK 40: General Conference Round 2

We had general conference round two this week, but it was in Czech so I didn't understand it all. It helped that I had seen the session in English a week before, but some of the accents really just killed me. I can report that it went better than last conference. I definitely have improved in understanding over the last six months.

Nothing crazy happened this week. We are working with a guy named Miroslav. He is pretty cool. He, like half of the people in Darnall, knows Elder Rhea. That's always a good place to start since everyone I have met seems to like Elder Rhea. He is pretty cool and his kids love us. It might only be because we give them stickers, but you take what you can get. If I have to buy the affection of 4 year olds with stickers, so be it. He is someone that just really loves God. He feels like he lost God in his life and he wants to invite that help back. What can be a better goal? I hope we can help him. Or rather, I hope he reads the scriptures and prays because I know that will help him. No questions asked.

There were a few long days as literally everyone that had agreed to talk with us flogged hard. We spent some serious time on the streets those days. Most of the time, at least one person comes in clutch. 

Happy Birthday to my dad and brother. They are awesome. That about sums it up.

Love,

Elder Pace

P.S. you can listen to two of the people that taught me Slovak. Go to lds.org and change the language to Slovak. Go to general conference and click on the talk by Henry B Eyring about gathering the family of God (should say Zhromazd'ovanie sa) for Brother Sharp and the one by Linda K Burton in the women's session for Sister Palenikova
