October 9 Letter

pictures: the first is the path elder lisonbee and i were on in tabor. went to visit some people that we hadn't heard from in ages... it was nuts. super super fun though! Haha  Number 2 may be from the train to prague (for visas)
3 is me in the jacket you got me for my bday (thanks oodles. it's awesome) in front of prague.

so the week! wow.  where to begin!
we had great lessons saw great things, but i guess i'll start with the most recent.
we went to prague for visas! went into the kostel inside of prague castle, and.... ran into a mormon couple from richmond, VA! what are the odds! haha so we got to hear about the wild conference, the announcement (don't know what to think yet, except how tough it is going to be not to name the first 18 yr old in the mission, "kid" hahaha) and about elder uchtdorfs talk. (they really like it) they also got a picture with us, so if elder lisonbee and i pop up on hte itnernet somewhere or on facebook or whatever. that's why. also we'll be going back there soon for me to get the litlte card visa guy. so that means in 3 weeks or so the emailing may be strange again.

in other news we met an american here! he's been here for two years with his wife as missionaries for another church! they plan on staying here for a long time and trying to help establish christian values. imagine ammon, with a wife, a kid, and another on the way, except without the book of mormon, and what comes to mind is this guy. i dunno if he could knock off some arms though... we'll see haha he's interested in why we move around so much because in their case it really wouldn't work...

also! wow! a lady we've been meeting with for a while is starting to recognize feeling the holy ghost, which is the coolest part of conversion. oh man. she's been doing really great and is overcoming a lot. it's a great blessing to be able to help her come closer to christ.

on the street once this week we ran into a college kid, introduced the book of mormon and told him about it, and he was like, "well how much does it cost???" so we told him, free. he than said, well what do i have to do to get it?!?! i almost made up something like, do a backflip, or 50 pushups or something. but luckily we were speaking czech, so we set up a meeting. he's a really cool kid so i'm excited to see how it goes this week.

thanks oodles for the bday cards and the post card momma. you're the best. love ya tons.
there really isn't enough time to write all the miracles that we see, but yeah. i'll write em in my journal... so just a lil patience is recquired :)

love ya oodles and oodles!!!
