KARLŠTEJN!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!!

so this week i got to go up to Karlstejn, it's the place where the mission was dedicated back in 1990 after the fall of communism. it was really cool to see all of the missionaries there and then the next day we got to go back and see all the members from around the country and they had a devotional talking about the pioneers who helped this country get it's start and then subsequently live through communism. it was pretty inspiring, they are actually making a mormon message out of the whole weekend that we had up there so that's going to be a great tool to introduce people to the church here. 

oh we also were able to  help this really old member on her garden, it was some good service, i got to cut grass with this old timey scythe, it was fun, so i took some pictures with the scythe i was going to send them this week with like the caption, "the field is white and ready to harvest" but i don't have the pictures because they are on a sisters camera, sorry.

hmm what else, i made scones and german pancakes and beef wellington. so they all turned out well i was proud.

what did i learns this week, well hmm, i learned that using fingernail clippers to strip a wire is not easy... or safe haha but i fixed our fan! 

on the spiritual side of things i learned that people forget about God very quickly, very, very quickly, so always, always be fighting for a stronger knowledge of God, wherein true happiness can be found.
