Happy warm sunny weather! Its still chilly in the mornings and at night but daytime is the time to shine and its is sooo pleasant. We love contacting nowadays because everyone is happier and in a better mood. We actually are contacting about that today. It's fun to hear people's responses of why they think they are in a better mood. God gave them a beautiful planet to enjoy and live on. God is real!
ooh myy gooodness. We went tracting in this cute village-like place by our house on Saturday morning. A man opened his gate and when we told him we have a living prophet, he said how that isn't possible then his daughter came up behind him, asked how long we've been out and asked if we were thirsty. So they let us in and it was a FAMILY REUNION!! There were 6 people of this one family at a table with us at once and after talking about whatnots for a few minutes, the youngest son asked "whats the difference between Catholics and Mormons" so we taught the restoration. but wait! There's more! We ended up being there for 2 hours, getting asked all kinds of questions, they said the Book of Mormon wasn't the word of God and that Jesus was the last prophet, they told us we should be careful with following faith blindly, we shared our conversion stories when we knew the Book of Mormon was true, they suggested we forget everything we have been taught and only follow Jesus, etc. It was definitely a flavorful event. We were even given a priest blessings by inspiration and holding hands with this -no acclaimed religion-priest, and were each individually given blessings of which I translated for some of it for Sestra Witzel. They also were translating for each other throughout the whole time......wow! if anything it only grew my testimony of our true church. Men can say that the Book of Mormon isn't true, but that doesn't change the answer I already received from the messenger of God himself, the Holy Ghost. Sorry, no one can change what is written on my heart.
We also had training. Starsi Marcucci found a better train system to take. Instead of waking up at 2am, we woke up at 4:15am and instead of getting home at 10:30, we got home at 6:30 with just enough time to return to a house we tracted into where a woman had interest. Its was so pleasant. OH! and after training, I just told Sestra Witzel not to look at her watch, but to just keep running. We made it from the Prague church building, to a metro, to a tram, to the train station, in 15 minutes. There was definitely some divine intervention going on. ooh myy gooodness.

ABOUT TRAINING: I feel like when we are prepared with questions, and when we have been studying the topics of what training will be about, there is SO MUCH REVELATION received! When we are prepared, we truly are blessed. Every word from this last training was easy to my ears and we have been trying new things, using new ideas, and have been successful in our work.
Its been a wooonderful week and we await this weekend with watching General Conference. I've heard its sooo good. Bring it!
