Dobrý den!
Do to the slowing of the spread of the disease here, quarantine is finally ending in the Czech Republic! We are still not allowed to contact on the street, and stores are still slowly opening, but the end is hopefully in sight. A lot of things are returning to a new normal. The missionaries that were staying with us went back to their assigned city. It was sad to no longer have the company, but we were also happy to have some more space in our apartment.
Honestly that is our only real update. We are allowed to meet with people in person again if they are willing, but church meetings are still forbidden. We have had a lot of success with getting people to watch the Sacrament meeting broadcast that the Czech Republic stake is running, which has been really cool. We are hoping that many of those who have been watching online will be more willing to come to our actual Sacrament meetings when they start up again in the next couple of months. If you wanted to watch some Czech people give talks, email me back and I can get you the link for the broadcast.
Přeju vám hodně štěstí a zdraví
