The
presentation [at the college in Ostrava] was way cool. we
taught the restoration very very simply and explained our relationship with God
to them. it was way cool. dare i say we presented so clearly the only questions
asked were:
1. tithing,
what is it? .... ugh. question cause we didn't teach about it and i said in
correct czech (at least i'm pretty sure) if anybody had questions about WHAT WE
TAUGHT. oh well. what'reya gonna do?
2. why do
we use the king james version of the bible? in czech the Kralicka. easy
softball question.
and the
last question was probably my favorite:
3. what
methods do we use to learn czech so dang fast?! (we just laughed, cause we know
it's all God, but they have no idea.) so i told them everyday i pray for the
gift of tongues. the students liked that one haha.
it was
great though. really cool and enjoyable and not dangerous or grilling at all.
just a good time. i would do it again in a heartbeat haha. the district was
there and a member who served his mission in spokane a few years back!
i forgot to
include the wildest part of the previous week! we went to dinner at a member's
house who's been a member for a stinkin long time (not too many of those
considering communism ended not too long ago) he and his wife were both
baptized under communism back in the 60's or so, and lived for years secretly
worshipping. it was wild to hear. but with regard to the attached picture of
the red books , get this! way back when president monson came to the czech
republic with a number of boxes with red books. communism and red books go hand
in hand so they let him in with a good number of "little red books"
so to say (Mr. O [Dean’s history teacher and one of his
favorite teachers ever] would
be proud i remember all this! haha) but we all know these red books weren't
Mao's, but rather the Lords. hahaha they were tons of book of mormons and
doctrine and covenants! luckily book of mormon in czech is kniha mormonova.
abbreviated =km km can easily be confused for karl marx. So all of the sudden
we got the lords word in the czech republic! it was way cool! just a cool guy.
super neat hearing about all these secret meetings and such but kinda
scary/wild at the same time.
don't have
a ton more time, but i had a wild einstein epiphany moment on a tram the other
day. we spend so much stinkin time on trams out here it's no wonder einstein
got so many good ideas on them! haha it had to do with reflections of light and
two trams passing. super tough to describe. but it was pretty neat! and fun
the good
weather came this past week. which means i broke out the short sleeve shirts!
hello fast food worker :) hahaha it's great. i honestly feel like i'm on
vacation the weather is so nice. the only down side is that it's gonna get
quite a bit hotter before it gets any colder..... :/ i'm pumped though! it's so
weird to see the czech republic green becuase it hasn't been for as long as i
have been here! i'll def take some pics this week and get em to ya! :D
we're going
to hukvaldy today and then gonna be teaching FHE tonight with a member momma
and her two boys who are yet to be baptized. we're pumped! sure do love ya tons
momma!!!! (Call me at 7 or 8 Czech time on Mother’s Day, either one. I’ll send
the number.)
love love
love
dean
