Ahoj všem! I’m sure you’re tired of me saying this, but we had another long and busy week here in Prague. Elder Williams and I are busy preparing to take over for the senior couple when they leave the office, as well as take care of the other responsibilities we have in the office. Our busy schedule often leaves little time for finding new people to teach, but this week we created a new plan to hopefully get more time out of the office and talking to people on the streets or in the metro.
This week had some real trying moments, as well as great successes. For instance, the post office stole Elder Williams’ power of attorney (which is essential for picking up packages), but we also had members at every lesson we taught. Some of our activities also had very few in attendance this week, but we also started teaching a new person. We had dinner with a very lively Russian family and their children, most of whom only speak Russian. It was a lot of fun and it was a good excuse to practice my Russian!
This week, after I read the talk “It’s true, isn’t it?” by President Hinckley, I was thinking a lot about why I’m serving a mission. Our zone also had a discussion about why we came on a mission, but almost more importantly, why we stayed. I am here, in the Czech Republic, because there is nothing more important in my life than the knowledge I have, and I’m glad I have such an opportunity to share it with people, even if all I do is have a short conversation with them.
Pics 1-3:We went on a hike today! It was really cold and misty, but it was beautiful as well.
Pic 4: I went on an exchange on Saturday, and on our way to a meeting on the other side of Prague, we poked our heads into the largest cemetery in Prague.
