MTC Week 7

Hi everybody! 

This week was a little overwhelming but good. My district is starting to get nervous. 11 days until we leave for the Czech Republic. This language, man. I don't think we will ever be ready in the MTC. We just have to get there and start using it. Most of us feel like we are "plateauing" a little bit so Bratr Mullen made us all sign a český kompact in which we promise to "adhere to the principles of SYL (speak your language) like we never have before, both in and out of class.. I hereby pledge to do so by signature.." and then we all signed it with fancy signatures it was pretty funny. 

We got a new teacher this week. SESTRA Donaldson! She is so cute and an awesome učitela. She told us about the 8 cities they send the sisters to. 

Praha

česke budějovice

plzen

ostrava

mlada boleslav (which is only sister missionaries)

vhereske hradiště 

brno 

and hradec kralove

She is super tall and cute and we just love her. 

We started teaching our new "investigator" Aleš (Bratr Knapp) and the lesson is right after Martin's so it didn't go to well. it's been a long time since we started from square one so it was good practice. all because honza left us. Bratr thompson is officially gone (tear). I know I talked about him leaving last Thursday but that night after our little toast with mountain dew he gave a cool analogy about "getting out of the river" when we are on our mission - the river being our normal lives. And if we try to stand outside of the river with one foot in it we are going to fall in and not take full advantage of this time to be out of the "river". missing those wise words of bratr thompson

We got another half our zone this week to replace the Croatians, Slovenians, Bosnian and all them. They are a good group. We got to skype someone from Czech Republic! Her name is Alex and she is living in Praha. ALEX she is from Russia! When we asked her to read a scripture she read it in russian and it is pretty darn close. Alex and I are going to have a secret language when we get home. Watch out. 

We get our flight plans in 2 days!!! Just praying I got my visa. 

OH. and madison young if you are reading this you dropped a bomb with no return address! Email it to me! 

Love you all and miss you

Sestra Holland
