Nazdar!
Hi everyone!
This week was full of
travel...again. I've been traveling a lot lately!
Tuesday I went to
Prague again for my last appointment for visa work. I got my residency card and
I am officially legal to live here for the next 2 years!
Wednesday, my comp and
I traveled to Brno and we had progression training for all the new missionaries
and trainers. Trainings are like my favorite thing, so I'm lucky to have got an
extra one this transfer. Also, on Wednesday, one Elder in our mission that
just finished, came back here and we had a branch party. His name is Elder
Earle. It was weird to know that he finished his mission and is going home.
I'll miss him! It is amazing the influence that one person can have on the
members and on other missionaries.
Thursday was
district meeting day in Zlín. We contacted quite a bit that day as well and
found some cool people.
Friday was a lot
like Thursday. Lots of contacting and we had a lot of success on
Friday. It is days like Friday, days when you talk to people on the street
and get to know them, that I really realize how much I love being a missionary
and I how much I love these people. It's such an awesome thing.
Saturday was the
same, with weekly planning and youth night in the evening.
Fast Sunday was
awesome! We had an investigator come to church with his wife. The members loved
it and I think our 2 investigators enjoyed church. I actually taught priesthood
meeting at church and it went well. The members were nice enough and stepped in
to help. We got fed dinner by a member Sunday night as well. She made
us gulaš and it was amazing.
That was a short
recap, but now a little more on food. Halušky, a Slovak dish, I think is
my favorite food on the Earth now. My comp and I make it twice a week. Everyone
should try it if they have the chance haha.
{We have decided to
try this at home. We found some recipes
online and confirmed them with Elder Shirley.
We’ll have to see if we agree with his assessment of “favorite food on
the Earth”. If you’re interested, here’s a link to a good recipe for halušky:

This week was really
successful. My new comp is awesome and he has such a great desire to work hard.
We are finding lots of people and have lots of meetings set up this week, It
should be a good week. Thanks for your support everyone!
Love you!
