Happy 4th and Elder De Feo


Happy late 4th of July!!! Hope everyone  had a killer time in Jackson Hole by the means of the pics it looks awesome and like a good year!!! Wow what a week we had here in Liberec! I don't even know where to start! So I guess at the beginning!

Tuesday we went and did service for our bro Jindra! It was cool we moved rocks and burned all his old wood that he didn't want a pak dal! Then we went and got lunch with him and we got to actually to talk gospel which was a blessing we have been trying to go gospel with him the last month and he just talks about everything so the conversation topic gets changed a lot with him! Then we had to race home after and change super fast because we had another lesson.  We didn't even get a chance to shower (like a true European) then we were suppose to meet a woman named Marcela but she couldn't come so she sent her friend Malania! You know it bad news bears when they show up wearing a  Jesus on Cross light up necklace!! So yeah we taught the full restoration and she was pretty nuts kept mumbling what we were saying under her breathe and some other stuff then we had just finished with prayer then she whips out this hospital receipt and asks us to pay it for her friend Marcela! We were like what the heck we are sorry but we can only help you spiritually not financially then had the most awkward departure of all time! Yeah so that was about our day!!



4th of July Hamburger!


Wednesday! 4th of July! so I wore american colors and what not of coarse! Started the day off with studies and area book work Then we headed off to lunch! We went to a place called Chicago Bar and Grill and it was so good it was so American and I had one of the best hamburgers of all time!!! And the coolest part was because it was 4th of July we could pay in american dollars! Good thing my comp had american cash on him randomly We got an amazing meal for $6, don't worry I have pics! Then we went contacting about freedom not much luck there! Then we had a lesson with a less active her name is Helena! It was good we read the title of liberty story because we were talking about freedom then English was so fun! We translated the Pledge of Allegiance and stuff and had them practice pronunciation with it! Then we sang some american songs for them! Then translated the songs then we all sang together at the end it was a lot of fun! Then we tracked after English!
















Thursday in the morning we checked referrals(we always have 0) then headed over to Jiris and taught him! Hes doing well just still doesn't want to do anything until he's read the book of Mormon all the way through which is fine but he is reading very slow! Then we had a meeting with Radovan and we showed him lds.org and stuff so it was a cool lesson and watched a couple Mormon messages with him it was cool! Then we had to head over to Pavlinas house our LA that lives in the woods and bring her food so that she doesn't die! She was good pretty normal visit this time no crazy stories about people trying to steal he tea when shes not looking and what not! Then we went over to this guys Denis house he is a new guy that we met the other week he said he didn't have much time only like 15 mins but we still sent it it was kinda awkward we woke him up but turned out to be a good little meeting talked more about why we are here as missionaries and stuff and why we cant go to the pool with him. That was about our day Thursday a lot of lessons!! They were all good too!!

Prague!
Friday it gets good! So we had mission Tour with Elder De Feo So we drove over to Prague early in the morning! Its always so much fun catching up with all my buds and what not!! Then we all were seated and Elder De Feo walked in and shook all of our hands and asked us where are we from and small talk with some of us then we got all seated and ready to start! 1st impression of Elder De Feo was he is really short but don't let his size fool ya because he is a spiritual giant! He used the scriptures a lot it was way cool! We talked a lot about desire! He told us the Desire leads to Faith then Faith leads to Power it was cool!! Then he talked about love which was also cool because his talk in general conference was all about love! It was so powerful and spiritual! He told us that things are happening in our mission but we need more love and taught us how love and expectations go hand in hand for investigators!! He just had a spirit around him that was amazing!!


After conference we all were just hanging out and stuff and eating lunch! But get this Prez called my Comp the other week and told him that he was going to be in a special film for the Church here in the Czech! It like a interview thing so it was cool that he got picked so we got to stay the night in Prague because they did it on Saturday! But continuing with Friday, 1st we went contacting then went and found a bench to weekly plan! We went to this park that overlooks Prague it was awesome but there was this drunk guy in the park when we sat down at first he was passed out but all the sudden we hear someone making cow noises so yeah the drunk guy woke up! It was hilarious we just watched him for like 10 mins the dude almost fell down the side of the hill! Then we took our dinner hour and went and walked around downtown Prague! So pretty!!! Then went to Charles Bridge! It was super crowded but still so fun and pretty! Then headed to the Masons apartment, they are the senior couple in Prague and we stayed with them overnight.  They are so nice and she is an amazing cook!!




Harley Davidson Riders

Saturday we got up went for a run then got ready I had to make sure my comp looked good for his interview! Then we headed over the building and saw the Prague district just hanging out because it was their pday and they told us that there is this Harley Davidson Get together and that that 40000 Harleys will be riding right by so we watched it with them and Prez while we waited for the Film crew peeps to get there! Then we did that film! My comp got the interview but I will be in the contacting part! They filmed us like contacting people it was awkward but when it comes out like on youtube or something you'll have to watch it! you might be able to see me or something! Then we got lunch and head back home!!




This food is Svičkava one of the best in the Czech!
Sunday Morning was an adventure we went to an investigators house to walk him over to church (he's in a wheelchair) so we went to his apartment  and we walked in and there was a naked 500 pound woman on the couch we were like what the and left the room as fast as we could! We were in literal shock like what the heck just happened!!! Then we had to help him get dressed because he was just in his underwear it was so awkward and weird!! Turns out the woman was his wife! So awkward and terrible I wanted to wash my eyes! But on the bright side he loved church but that means we have to go back next week!! Then we get to church and 10 mins before they ask me to give a talk! So yeah Sunday was a crazy one!!!

 
So yeah all in all a great week!!!

Love yall Slaskou

Elder Heywood!
