Hello everybody I had a fantastic week! so I'll start from
the beginning!
So last Monday after emailing you guys elder Mueller and I missed our tram to the train station so we had to take a nice long mile and a
half run to it because the next tram that was coming would not have made it so
that was fun! Don't worry we made our train and met up with everyone in our
district there! We them went to Štomberk and it was a beautiful rolling green
hill and all the trees are changing color it was so cool! the castle was more
of a tower but it was still awesome! I'll add pics later! so we kinda got lost
and didn't have time to get super close and see the whole castle but we still
got really close and took some sweet pictures! Just saying the pictures don't do
it justice! We ate a late lunch then had to head back so we could get back
for family night!
Tuesday was pretty good we were supposed to have a lesson
with a lady that we tracted so when we got there she answered but told us that
she had never seen us before and that she had no interest even though we had
talked to her Sunday! so that bummed us out so then we just contacted back to
the church and had no luck. We then went to teach English and this one ysa came
and was really curious about who we are and what we are doing in the Czech
Republic and why we are so nice! haha we gave a spiritual thought on Jesus after
and just bore our testimonies! She seemed interested but didn't set up
with us or anything but told us that she would see us next week and that is
tomorrow so we will see what happens!
Wednesday we had Zone Conference in Brno so we had to get up
at 3am so we could get ready and get to our train on time! Training was awesome
it was all in czech but an elder was translating in the back and all the
newbies had little earpeices so we know what was going on! I learned a lot and
loved what everyone had to say! President Pohořilicky is awesome and gave a
stellar talk on the light of Christ and repentance!! it was defiantly the best
part! Also it was fun to see Scmhutz and Jarvis!! Out of all the newbies us
three are in the same zone what are the odds! Then we all hung out till
everyone had to leave for there trains! but actually elder Mueller and I stayed
in Brno because we had an exchange with the Zone leaders that night and the
next day! So i went with Elder Brockbank and we had a lesson with a recent
convert who was baptized about 2 weeks ago. I forgot his name but we is awesome
and we had a sweet lesson about Joseph Smith and the restoration then headed
back to their apartment! Turns out their apartment is where the Church would
secretly meet during communism so it was really old but it was super cool! Also
the aps slept over too because they had another training in Bratislava the next
day!
The exchange in Brno was sweet and I learned a lot! The
people in Brno are a lot nicer then the people in Ostrava! Turns out that Ostrava is like the hardest area according to the Zone leaders so that makes me
feel a little better because we had so many good conversations in Brno and
found 2 new investigators rather than Ostrava where we are lucky if we find
one!! But it was a good exchange! Brno is super pretty and super big!
We got back in ostrava and pretty much just contacted the
rest of the week and found a guy named Kristoff hes cool and we have a lesson
with him tomorrow afternoon in the park so I'm praying that it goes
well!!!
As for Anis our investigator with a date he has fallen off
the the face of the earth and we have lost contact!! That was a bummer but
we have faith that he will show up again because he knows it is true! that was
about it this week!
I love you all and will send pics asap!
