March 14 letter

I forget the neice/nephew prediction... but i think i'm at liberty to reassess it considering i'm about 1/4 through and already have 2 new ones. i def didn't guess 8! (nor would i hahaha)
[Dean guessed that two new nieces or nephews would be born while he is on his mission.  Two nieces are coming soon, Tessa’s in May and Lindsey’s in July.]

that's awesome about the braves. coach febach is so great. i'm sure their stacked but it sure does make me reminisce about senior year. (we had some good luck against glacier too hahah) [Dean was starting guard and captain of his HS basketball team, who also went to state.]

funny you should mention the routine..... because my life is completely different now! hahaha oh garsh. got the call monday afternoon that i'm gonna be a district leader. i have no idea what that really means... but it's gonna be fun!

i'm serving with elder bahr and elder clyde. they were both here in ostrava last transfer so i know them! we're in privoz so i may have the claim to fame of being one of few of any other missionaries to serve in every area of Ostrava! it's fun and goodness me am i excited. it's gonna be nuts. our district is going to consist of us three, and two golden greenies being trained by two missionaries who are going home soon. this transfer is gonna be a load of fun i do know that much! haha

as far as last week goes it was pretty wild cause elder gleue got a call on wednesday about his new area! (normally they are on sunday for trainers and monday for everybody else) he's in the office now which is cool cause he wanted to go there and he'll get to hang around president all the time and do all kinds of fun stuff! 

but yeah this last week was super nuts with elder christopherson being in prague for a conference. it was so awesome! we got to have a meeting with him afterwards, us missionaries here, which was super awesome cause it was almost like a question and answer session. it's amazing how simple the gospel is but how much there is to learn about it! and trust me those apostles know a TON! the icing on the cake however was when elder christopherson came to ostrava with his wife and son (his son served here about 17 years back) he gave another talk and trying to describe the spirit felt there in words is just futile. His message on monday was about the role of an apostle in today's world, and how it hasn't changed much since back in peter's day…. still testifying of Jesus, bringing the gospel to the entire world, and feeding the sheep. He tied that in to the role of membership in the church that we too are called to be witnesses of Christ and share the gospel. It was so great for the members here. it was way neat.

but time is about out so til next monday!

love ya tons momma!
