Dobrý den, a vítám Vás všem!
Welcome back to another email from everyone’s favorite elder in the Czech Republic! This week was incredibly busy, but also pretty exciting! In case you were wondering, our friend Nikola, the daughter of a local member, did get baptized on Saturday, even with restrictions and craziness. She was so excited for her baptism, and she invited her friend as well, which we were so excited to see! Nikola is only 13, but her testimony has really grown a lot, and it has been awesome to teach her, and to see her share this gospel with her friends. She’s a good example for Elder Nicholls and I.
This week we had to do a lot of procedural administrative stuff regarding the start of the month, which sucked, but it’s all over now! We also got all the way through the first MLC of the transfer, which was fun. The Lord saw fit to give us some nice sunny weather for the end of the week though, which was graciously received. I have missed basking in the sun. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am hyped for summer to be here! Nothing makes you appreciate the summer more than a long winter.
Similarly, nothing makes the bright spots in our lives brighter than some dark spots for comparison. If you feel like you’re facing one of those dark spots right now, please remember that a bright spot is coming. “For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so… righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad.” (2 Ne 2:11) Just be sure to don’t lose sight of all the bright spots you’ve already seen, when facing a dark spot.
Mějte krásný týden všem,
Starší O’Barr
