zvolenksy zaciatok

we're a part of history. after weeks of preparation we had the first ever sacrament meeting of the church in the city of zvolen. it was great. we found a place where we can rent out a room with chairs in it by the hour, so we are going to rent it out every week until we find something permanent. it definitely wasn't the same as the sacrament meeting that you'd find in sandy or anything like that (there weren't very many of us and we sang all of the hymns a capella), but the spirit was there and we had a great meeting. i gave a talk on the sacrament and by my own standards i think i did a good job--probably one of the best talks i've ever had. it was so great to greet the investigators after the meeting. they looked so happy. for the first time in their lives yesterday they attended a sacrament meeting. the Lord's church has finally come to them, and they will soon be able to enjoy all the blessings that come from membership in this church. i'm so thankful that the Lord saw me as worthy to participate in the establishment of His kingdom in this part of the world. there is nothing that i could be doing right now in my life that would be more meaningful than what i am doing now. i'm in the right place.
 
maj'te sa!
