Pre letter: Wow so much has happened this past week and it sounds like a
lot of fun!!! I really wanted to read that book because Chad Lewis came and
talked to us on Sunday and it was a stellar talk one of my favorites by far!!!! I really wanted to read it after his talk!!! Thanks for sending! Last email i got from Kennedy
she was enjoying her job a lot better; the pictures of the kids were super cute!!
SO EXCITED ABOUT LAUREN!!! Can't wait to come home to a brand new kid that I've never met!! Yeah crazy about Gilbert! Dawson tanner and some of the other
kids have been sending me their highlights because i asked them too!!! This
week was pretty great and will get into it more at 3! you don't have to send
cheetoes ill be fine and we leave monday morning anyways!! I don't know when I'll be able to call but my guess is around 10-2 then maybe again in Amsterdam!!
Cant wait to get out of here even though my Czech is pretty bad!
Love you! Will send a couple pics from the temple this
morning!! this was my last session for 2 years!!

So overall my last full week in the Mtc has been really
great! So last friday we got our flight plans if you all didn't know! we leave
the Mtc Monday at 9:50 am and take a nice long flight all the way to Amsterdam
then we have a layover then head on over to Prague!! Cant wait to get over
there!! An Elder in our districts mom has been sending us weather updates so we
are getting pretty excited for the Prague walk, Ill be sure to take tons of
pictures! Also I'll have plenty of time to call you guys!
The Skinners are here in the Mtc and it was so nice to
see a face from home!! I have seen them everyday and they take a picture
every time I see them and send it to mom so I'm sure she has a bunch pics of me
from this week!! It was really funny when I first saw them in the cafeteria andIi
ran up and Kathy gave me a big hug and I was not expecting that because you
know I haven't given a woman a hug in 9 weeks so that was really funny!! Its
been nice chatting with them for a little bit everyday. they are leaving
Saturday so only a week for them!
So for this past Sunday devotional it was awesome Chad Lewis
came and spoke to us! It has got to be one of my favorite talks from the mtc he
just told a lot of mission and NFL stories and it was awesome he also talked
about hiking in the Himalayas and that was awesome too!! It made me miss
football when he was talking about his career!! I hope ASU doesn't do too well so I don't miss anything hahaha!!
Czech is still super hard but i am getting better as bad as
I am at it. I honestly can't wait to get over there and use it!! My teachers tell
us that they love it when we try to speak it so that will be a fun
experience!!
On Tuesday we got to here from Elder Patrick Kearon of the
Presidency of the Seventy. he gave a fantastic talk on just how important
prayer is also that you have to have a firm testimony in the gospel and if you
dont then you wont be able to teach it!
I would just like to say that i have a firm belief in this
gospel and I cannot wait to share it with the people of the Czech republic! I
know that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has been resurrected and that he lives and that through his atonement our sins can be washed away so that we can
live with him and our Heavenly Father again and through this gospel that I love
so much we can become like them and live with them again for all eternity!!
Love, Starší Heywood
