Well, another week down! Things are going well here in good old Jihlava. Not too much out of the ordinary happened. I’ll put some highlights below. This week, while eating my Thanksgiving dinner, I figured out something I’m incredibly thankful for. I’m so grateful that I dont have to do this alone. I have so many people both back home and here that help support me, my companion, and the missionary work here. I don’t have to get up and face life by myself, but with plenty of friends and family. Even when we feel like we are entirely alone, our loving Heavenly Father and His Son, our Savior, are there and willing to help us. That’s the peace this gospel brings, that we never have to face the world alone.
I bake a pie(?): I have been telling everybody that I was gonna make an absolutely amazing pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, and I wasn’t gonna be made a liar. Wednesday night and Thursday morning I hastily put together a pie using some slightly interesting ingredients and methods. But it was good! It may or may not have been amazing, but it was at least edible.
We get creative with crepes: On Friday we went to Prague to meet with other missionaries and participate in some little workshops. One of the workshops was less of a workshop and more of a baking lesson. Part of it was coming up with a creative photo of the crepes your group made, and I joking suggested we put them on our faces. They took me seriously.
Christmas Markets!: They had a big lighting ceremony and officially opened the Christmas markets here. Not too much to say, but it is certainly pretty, and they have a whole skating rink right in the middle of it. I forgot a picture of the tree, but it’s pretty cool as well.
