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!
