Ostravalelujah!!!
Howdy All!
Great week this week and I absolutely loved all your
emails. I am loving Ostrava, it is just go,go, GO! all the time. woo! We
are doing really well together and I just adore Sistser Senkane, she is
such a an amazing example for me. I love her insight on things and its
great that we are just enough different that it is not boring, but also
just enough similar that we get along really well. She is like the
peanut-butter and I am like the jelly. :) I love you all sooo very
much!!! Words cannot express it adequately. But just imagine I am
squeezing all of you just as tight as I can!!! <3
s Laskou,
Sestra Schoen
PS. I have been making
more and more jokes in czech:) And people besides me are laughing. That
doesn't even happen in english haha. (insert Napolean Dynamite
"YES...")

Ostrava-lanche of Awesomeness!
First off. You all lose! I have gotten several brief mentions of
Cassidy's 15 minutes of fame in reference to so you think you can dance
but no actual information or a story.... You're trying to drive me mad
aren't you??
Haha I am so soooo excited to hear more about it as sooon as possible! This week was great, we had some awesome lessons and miracles of course. That group of friends are good, we talked to them for a bit again but the whole pulling out of the world is proving to be difficult. The world's influence is a very strong force here, as I am sure it is everywhere, but man it's irritating! We attempted to celebrate 4th of July in our own way... burgers and contacting people on freedom! (and that morning I may have blasted Celine Dion's God Bless Americe and Im Proud to Be an American by Al Green). My poor Latvian companion was I'm sure a tad annoyed with my cheesy, eccentric pariotism but #represent.
We went contacting as a district (btw there are 6 missionaries total in our branch Cam) in a park and talked about how God has given us the ability to choose and he wants us to keep our freedom and also know how to use it wisely. That is something that is engrained in my heart and although I can't rant on politics persay, I can rave about what a blessing it is to be free to make our own decisions. Liberty is priceless. But some take it for granted or rather, dont thoroughly understand it. We have 100% control of what we do, what people forget is that we dont have control of the consequences. But if we know the outcome we want we can make the most of the decisions we make in order to achieve that outcome. Thereby using our ability to choose correctly. If we direct our lives to achieve a distant point we will achieve it and learn in the process. The quote, "aim small, miss small" comes to mind. The idea that we are tossed about by the many choices around us is absurd and in actuality robs us of the freedom to choose for ourselves. Opposite of popular opinion, we do not have to try everything even the harmful things the world has to offer. That is just pressure to satisfy a public demand. We have to make smart decisions so we are not held captive to negative consequences. If we know that doing something brings a less-than-desirable result, let us use our noggin's to direct us towards a new path that will help us actually grow. I feel like that is logical. Rant of the week again. Apologies. Just been on my mind. I love you all!
