I don't even know where to start holy cow!!!! The week was crazy!!! So I guess I'll start from the beginning. Flight was way long but that's alright Iwas exhausted and slept most of it; then we got to Amsterdam there was a nice guy that works for family tree kinda helped us make our way around the airport and then he took a pic an sent it to all our moms for us!! It was a quick 2 hours from Amsterdam to Prague and I slept the whole flight!! We got there and President was waiting for us there with his wife and the assistants!!! Nicest people I have ever met!! So we got all loaded up in the van and headed to the mission home!! We unloaded then took a pic with president then we headed out to the Prague walk!

Lets just say that Prague is the most beautiful city that I have ever seen in my life!!! I will set up my camera to the church wifi so i can send pics i just haven't had any time to send any this past week ha been go go go!!! Old buildings and Castles everywhere!!! After that we headed to dinner and had svickova which was weird but way good!!! The food here is way different but I like it so far!! A lot of bread!! Then after dinner we had a little time and went contacting in the metro! Pretty scary the first time but thank goodness the first guy i talked to could speak English!!! He heard my piece but wasn't interested! We headed to a hotel and slept there for the night! 

The next morning we headed back to the the mission home for breakfast and to know where are areas would be and to meet our trainers!! 

Ok the moment you have all been waiting for I am serving in Ostrava!!!! My Trainers name is Elder Mueller and he is way sick!! He is from Alaska and loves to hike.  The nicest guy I have ever met!! I have already learned so much!!! My brain hurts!! I also don't understand anything!! SO how it usually goes while contacting is Elder Mueller will stop some people then I will ask them a question and then it goes on from there!! Yep Czech is way hard! And the people here in Ostrava take a lot of pride in how fast they talk and that makes it even more hard hahaha!!! I thought I had bad headaches in the MTC hahah i was wrong!!

I had my first lesson last Thursday with a Lutheran missionary and thank goodness that was in English!! I could actually understand and what not!! It was way cool she seemed pretty interested with it all and hopefully we can set up another lesson!! So there is a guy named Anis that Elder Mueller has been teaching and he has a Baptismal date for October 14th!!! SO we are way stoked about that!! 

Ummm what else! WE get around by public transportation so a lot of tram contacting and bus!! If we aren't on the trams we are running to them!! Hahaha I am way out of shape!! But it also is alot of fun running around! Today is the first day since ive been here that the sun has been out it has rained everyday since I've been here in Ostrava and I love it!!! Except holy cow, it is way cold after we are done emailing we are going to get me a nice warm coat!! 

Sunday was an adventure!! Church was awesome but  long and hard to follow along because of all the Czech! But my district is awesome! There are six of us 4 elders and 2 sisters they are all way supportive and it helps a lot when i get frustrated!!

Yesterday was my first day tracting and it wasn't that bad!! Everyone has a sick dog!! So we actually got let into a house and we could tell that this lady was already a little tipsy but we went in and at first it was great she was asking why we are here and what we wanted to talk about!! So we started to talk about the plan of salvation and it was going well then all the sudden she just started to freak out!! I had know idea what was going on because it was all in Czech and then she pointed to me and asked why am i here and I said one of the only things I knew how to say! I said to testify of Jesus Christ then she started screaming at me!!! Yeah we got out of there as soon as we could!!! Hahaha it was an adventure! 

Well that was my week!! If you have any Questions let me know!!! And ill try to answer them next Moday!!!

I love you all!!!

Elder Heywood
