Attached are some pictures of elder gleue and my last hurrah before transfers haha we went out with adam and did some castle hopping/ gramma visiting. it was just wonderful haha i think the included one is Stramberk. super awesome castle. also went to hukvaldy. but it was closed so we didn't get a ton of great pictures. still super super awesome though.
the others are elders bahr and clyde, my new companions! elder clyde has the brown hair. and adam is also in those. we went out to a park cause the weather was way way nice. it was a super cool meeting out there! and he's getting excited for baptism! :D
these past few days have been super nuts! my first district meeting was just a fiasco to say the least. haha and the next one is tomorrow! haha and the zone leaders are coming too! goodness me gracious. it's so great though. our district is so stacked! i feel like i got the dream team here in ostrava. We have elder bahr, clyde and i in one area (the last area, so now i know ostrava about as well as a missionary can having served in all 3 areas haha) my old area has an old awesome missionary and a greenie so they are bound for greatness, and the other area is the same! an old awesome hard working missionary (who actually got trained here in ostrava) with a greenie! giving ostrava 6 new missionaries trained in 3 transfers. i don't know if that has happened too recently haha but it's cool. but yeah. the district is way too cool. and the members here are way excited about the work. a wonderful combination!
So really cool story about preparation and prayer this sunday. last transfer our district leader taught the gospel principles class. He had been here 2 years so knew czech super well and was a great teacher. as transfers happened i thought people kinda knew that he was going home and that someone from the branch would have to teach that class?.. i don't know if that's terribly reasonable to assume or what... but needless to say when i was asked to teach the class after sacrament meeting i was a little... how do you say.... nervous? yes. that one. goodness me was i nervous. last week (rather two weeks ago, last week we were in prague) our lesson was about the fall of adam, quite the topic to be teaching about in a class of people who aren't yet members. It was a wonderful lesson, but not without a few, "hold on i don't get that." or "wait... one more time?" so, needless to say, i was a little nervous about this sunday's lesson and what it would be on!
i got into the class and looked into the book, and the topic was prayer! :D i was so excited! haha i love prayer and had a little note card in czech that i had prepared from a "true to the faith" reading a few weeks back that was all about prayer! it was a really cool meeting and i think everybody had a good time learning about prayer? we'll see if they come back i guess haha!
goodness me. til next time in about a week :)
love ya'll tons!
