Week 36

Back to wearing my winter clothes as we enter into the summer season. The weather is so bipolar. This week we did some tracting, contacting, running around, the usual, but all in the beautiful rain. I love running home when your boots are full of water and you are just drenched! Its a really fun time. This week we met Albert.. ALBERT. Just like Albert Einstein! He is from Nigeria and is so cool. He lived with a mormon in Nigeria and talked about how there are temples on every corner.. I think he meant church buildings but still that sounds awesome! We met Albert on a bus, and we were sitting next to him and all of a sudden people run in with cameras and microphones.. turns out it was the first model of that bus in czech republic so they gave us all candy and it was fun. Elder Waylend actually ended up getting interveiwed, until the interviewer got bored and moved on to someone else. We were laughing so hard. Also this week we went to Trebic again!!! The branch loves sisters so we feel so wanted haha. We went to a really cool members house afterward. He was the only in his family to learn about the gospel and then he shared it with his whole family - brothers, sisters, cousins.. and now basically the whole branch is a member of the family. The grandma made us lunch after church (and made me miss you a lot grandma!). Lots of potatoes and meat and soups and kolačy yesterday .. yum :) And I met the one of the oldest members in the czech republic yesterday. She is the cutest thing. Her and Gaud (pronounced God) helped start yoga when that was the main means of missionary work in the czech republic during communism. The czech republic has really neat church history. Anyways I got to have a long talk with her. She has been a member 60+ years. What a cool lady. And then on the way home we there was a man laying in the middle of the train tracks which caused a little bit of drama. And then the whole way home sister d and I stuck our heads out the train windows like dogs. Its one of my favorite things to do around here. Such a beautiful country. Sending my love to all of you!

S laskou,
