Yuu! (Czech way to say yay) Another week gone by! Just had to email
President McConkie a long letter about this week, so I don't have too
much time, but I will try to give a good run-down of the week. We had
training here in Brno, so all my District buddies came here and I got to
see them again.
We actually had Sister Jackson and her companion
Sister Terry spend the night at our apartment. When she got off the bus
we seriously ran at each other and embraced. It was epic, and
movie-worthy. It was so wonderful to see everyone again, it felt like it
had been forever, yet somehow no time at all. We had all grown a lot in
the week and had our eyes really opened to the true missionary-life.
Everyone had gotten a good heaping of humble-pie, lol. I know I have!
Speaking of food, I had the interesting experience of having my first
meal at a member's house... Sister K, she is rather...mature, and when we had
spoken to her on the phone she had agreed to dinner on Thursday. To make a long
story short, her hearing aid had stopped working, so she thought we were
coming another day, and when we arrived, she was not quite expecting us. We
tried to leave, she couldn't hear us really and began making food.
Kindest lady ever... she got out bread, butter, and salami (I think) and
put, I kid you not, butter about an inch thick all the way down the bread
stick, then topped it with the meat. She gave each of us three (3)
six inch pieces. It's not like it was particularly strange ingredients,
the amount of butter that I consumed though was... a lot. But we did it!
The sense of pride only slightly overwhelmed the urge to hurl. She was
so kind to do that for us.
I imagine this was the meal Carley ate |
I looooove the ward here! All the people
here, I have met so many kind people! There are some rotten tomatoes too
here and again, but I have never had a problem with having a tough-skin
so no bigs. Their loss. I love it here. Learning so much! Next week I'll
give a better account, promise. I love Sister Woodworth, we are so
excited (and exhausted!) but it really is a happilly hectic time that I
wouldn't trade for anything. Thank you all for your support! I really
appreciate it! Love you all! <3
I don't get dearelders but like once a month, so I much prefer emails!
I love you family and am thinking about you always!
Before
I forget, please make sure the bank knows that I am in Czech just in
case. I don't want any problems with randomly withdrawing from here and
it cancelling my account. Love you all dearly!
