‘Ach jo, tohle je ale tragédie’

Welcome back to another email!

I totally spaced last weeks email, sorry about that one! Luckily you didn’t miss much! This week was much more exciting anyways. We actually got out of the house, visited some members, saw some cool lakes, drove to Prague for a zone conference, dropped off a Book of Mormon to someone I had met when I was last there, then ran back home. We had a lot more lessons this week than last, and even got to drive to the beautiful town of Jindřichův Hradec to give our good friend Sára a Book of Mormon!

The photo selection this week includes shots from a chaotic half online zone conference, me and my lakes and farm fields, a nature walk we did today (ft. me in a tree, a dead pigeon, and the grave my companion was digging for it), and some shots from a castle we visited last week. Have a good one, and as always, if you have any questions, just ask!

S láskou,

Stále v čechách

Čaute všem!

Well, my time in Prague is up again, and I’ll be shipping out tomorrow afternoon for what will probably be the last area of my mission, the beautiful town of České Budějovice. České Budějovice (or C-Bud for short) is a town in south Bohemia, about an hour and half to two hours south of Prague. I am super excited to head down and see it! I am of course sad to leave Prague, especially cause I just told everyone I would be staying in Prague until June. I am also sad to be leaving before things have opened up again, since I don’t get to meet a lot of the people we are teaching here in person, but I will get to swing through Prague on my way back to America, so hopefully I’ll get one last chance to see everyone.

This week we unfortunately didn’t get up to too much exciting. I ended up making another loaf of bread, just to keep things interesting. We had an MLC this week, and then also helped fix a tire on a car here at the mission home. We also got filmed for a video for a local Facebook page here ran by members, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Of course, it will be entirely in Czech, so unless some of you have been secretly studying, none of you will understand what’s going on. But you’ll get to see me, so I hope that’s worth it. That’s all I have for you this week! Enjoy this nasty looking photo of what ended up being a good meal and what is probably my 800th photo of the Vltava river.

Sněží? Kecáš!

Jak se vede, kamoši a kamošky?

It is another week here in Prague! I hope you all watched general conference! If you didn’t, I can only recommend. The fact that we have a living prophet is amazing, and we should be taking every opportunity to listen to him. It certainly was another good and inspiring set of broadcasts.

Spring keeps chugging along here in Prague, despite minor setbacks like today’s snow. Luckily for us, the weather was pretty great for our morning run through the city. Prague is absolutely gorgeous in the springtime, and I cannot wait to see it once more. I think it’s just an absolutely fitting time for our Easter celebration. Christ truly is risen, and the reawakening earth testifies of it just as well as I can. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter, and if you’re looking for an opportunity to testify of what you believe, now is the time! Just express your feelings to someone or on Facebook! Let people know about the glorious blessings Christ’s resurrection brings into your life!

Veselé Velikonoce a mějte se hezky!
