Bratislava!!

so we went to Bratislava this week! that was pretty fun, going to Slovakia is always cool.  we tracted a lot this week. which was fun, because we always had people to talk to haha we only got escorted out 3 times this week, and only once by the police, so i'd say it was a success! hahaha

other than that not a ton happened, a family who lives here and in California moved back here for the summer, so that's supper helpful to the branch, they have 5 kids it's pretty cool to see a big family again at church.

other than that this week was pretty much all taken up with the excitement in Bratislavě.

ya know i feel like i used to notice everything that was different about the Czech Republic and culture, but now i feel like i just think it's all supper normal, that's kinda weird, like today my companion was like "i think it's funny that they drive around 4 wheelers here on the roads" and i was like (in my mind) "wait, that's not normal?" it's just weird hahah that all this stuff that's around me that's completely different from home is now just normal. when i get home i'm going to have such a crazy reverse culture shock, i can't even imagine how it must have been for Trevor sheesh Asia, i can't even imagine!

well like my district leader who goes home with me says "we still got tons of time"

so, see you in a while.

p.s. well, unless you live here in CZ because then i'll see you in 3 weeks in Praze :) Ahoj!

oh pps: good luck at camp lol Oskar (heh heh i spelled wrong on purpose), and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYNANNE AND TREVOR (Spencer)!!!!! 

32 emails!!

Just barely i opened my email and was like "what up, 32 emails" so thanks for all the love! and for the pictures! sounds like you're all doing fantastic! sounds like the homecoming for Jaynanne went well and that the dance and general women's conference went well (is that what it's called?) But shout out to Brooke Pierson she got her mission call to Warsaw Poland! that's so cool, she probably won't even read this but I'm pretty excited about it!  Poland is my neighboring country we speak pretty much the same language!

This week went well though, we had some good times, in my mission once a transfer we're allowed to go to a cultural event, i.e. opera, symphony, festival, sporting event. but this week we went to a Czech traditional festival out in Kunovice, I'd send you some pics but I forgot my card reader.  It was such a good festival, haha so czech, everyone just getting drunk and havin' fun.  haha the best line of the day... we're watching this band perform and the the trumpeters are like drinking between songs and the conductor, who was also singing the folk music was all like, "what are you doing?" as if to chastise them, "why not drink half a liter?! haha"  it was so funny.  we walked around and had some candy from the stands.  I had this huge cotton candy, i'll send a pic haha it was massive!

oh, quick side note, the reason i'm emailing on Tuesday is because we had to have zone conference on Monday so our p-day we moved to Tuesday.  

Folk Festival in Kunovice

The rest of the festival went well after that though. Oh, there was this way cool instrument, it was like a grand piano with no keys and the guy played it like an xylophone (i think that's the instrument) it was way cool.  It's a Czech traditional instrument so they don't have the name for it in English.  But yeah the festival was really fun though!

On the spiritual side of things. haha Our Zone Conference was really cool.  there are 4 sisters from my zone ending their missions this transfer.  One of them is in my district.  It was weird because they were in the MTC at the same time as Jaynanne so it finally clicked in my head that Jaynanne is actually home now! hahaha even though you guys have told me about it, it was just kinda like unreal,  haha it's probably because i just read emails, and it's like a story of your lives in  a book that i read for a half hour every week haha. Anyway, zone conference was great.
 
That's all from me for now.  I didn't have the most exciting week so nothing really to talk about, yup, so have fun watching conference this week, I'll watch it in 2.

well, peace off!
