Starsi Chris Heywood: Hey everyone...

Well it was another great week in the Czech Republic! So I guess we will jump right into it!

Featuring Sammik, the cutest kid in our branch!

Last Monday night we had fhe or rdv with a family the Hanzalovi! He is a counselor in the Stake presidency and has to travel a lot but he was in town and we got invited over and it was the most přijemny night of my life! WE walk in and it just had that Mormon house glow feel to it which doesn't happen a whole lot here! They made us tacos which I haven't had in quite a while! Then we sang and we had the spiritual thought and we killed it just focused on their kids and talked about missionary work and gave them little badges that we made for them! Then had dessert, ROOT BEER FLOATS!!! I forgot how good those things were!! It was a great night!

Tuesday was just a normal day with lessons, missionary work ,some tracting, we went over to these investigators and they fed us some good food! We took them over from the sisters so we just got to know them and read a chapter in the Bom with them!

Wednesday we had Zone Conference in Prague which is always good! There were some good training given. I really liked Presidents and the APs messages but I don't have my notes with me so I don't remember everything but it was good! We got home and went straight to English classes! I taught beginners and yeah that was fun!

Thursday was a pretty normal day just basic stuff nothing special!

Friday we headed over to Ceska Lipa to teach Turru! We started off with an English lesson to help them on English! Then talked about commandments with him and talked more about his Baptism! He decided that he didn't really like the font in Prague and wants it to be outside so we need to find a lake to do it at. There are a couple options that we are looking at! It was a good visit and he says he still wants it! He has been reading and praying every night with his wife so that is awesome! I love that guy so much! He has his interview this weekend so pray for him!!

Saturday we went to Pavlinas in the morning! Its always an experience! Her prayers are crazy and this week she prayed and said I quote (we are very grateful that jaroslava died) my first thought was did I just understand that right? Then second, who the heck is Jaroslava! haha it took every ounce of strength to not let out a giggle!! I've never bit my finger so hard to keep from laughing! Shes a strange crazy woman but so nice!! Then we went to this guys Ubytovani and taught him it was pretty sketch stuff thought i was gonna get stapped (?) but it was a good lesson we will be going back this week! Then we taught a LA named Kiki then we ran into a returned missionary who I heard was a legend! He was Elder Wutzkes 1st AP! SO that was cool we went contacting with him for a bit it was cool! Then we ended our night!

Sunday was good we had quite a few people there sadly no investigators, Turru missed his train so that stunk! But Prez Hanzal was there and had a high counselor there and almost all the regular members! It was good Also that returned missionary was at church with his parents! Then elder Wutzke taught Sunday school and I taught elders quorum! Then we had a lesson at 1 then went to a members house to plan a vylet for today and then did some other missionary work and had dinner and had a short member visit at 8:30 then headed home!

Oh also crazy news!!! Marcela from Jihlava will be baptized this week! SO amazing she is the best!

Overall a pretty good week! Today was fun we went on a vylet with some members! It was a cool little hike with some cool views and a cave that you could go in! It wasn't super big but the two little kids loved it!! Here are some pics!!
