January 7 letter

well the new year is here! which means new resolutions (that i'm still working on) and tons and tons of instances where i write 2012, then have to mark it off and change it to 2013. so now my planner, and diary, and such are full, not only of words to learn in Czech (especially after our field trip today to the fishing school. if that's not it's own specific word group, i don't know what is. goodness gracious. tons of words learned! haha), lessons we plan for, but also of instances i wrote the date, and was forced to change the date. oh well! haha i'm almost done with another pen. kinda exciting! everything I write is about to become more and more important! and taking notes will no longer be relaxing! haha

in other news! today is a big day! but someone came to use the computer. i gota go i'll write more in a bit? or maybe just write ya a hand letter. love ya tons!  sorry for the wild delay :/

my companions are awesome. and were done already! so today! we went on a wild field trip to a fishing school! they teach those kids everything! net making.... and all kinds of other stuff that i don't know how to translate... but it was awesome needless to say. really really cool.

this past week was also full of cool lessons with people. cool meetings of people on the street. and funny instances where we ran into random people that we've been meaning to run into for quite some time and it finally worked out.

I love being a missionary. I love the schedule we have. I love what we do. I love just about anything and everything there is to love about this work.

sunday was pretty wild, a family came back from where their living for the holidays, so we got invited over for a meal (they're super awesome. def will have to introduce them to ya'll. they're just way cool. all very centered on the gospel, and all speak English so they help a ton with the Czech! haha

one cool thing i've noticed about Czechs lately is that they are incredibly humble! It is really amazing! If you compliment anyone on their English speaking or anything compliment-worthy, they will always turn it into a compliment toward us missionaries. It's amazing. Cause denying a compliment is no good. we don’t like that. but turning a compliment into another compliment is worth it's weight in gold!

anywho's actually time to go now.

we'll be in Prague next week for visa's... WHOOO back again. monday- Prague. tues- back to c. bud. wed- back to Prague for training. then the next week (21st) is transfers! is flying by way too fast!

so i may actually pick up the navy suit iIve been hunting in Prauge. we'll see what time allows. otherwise i'll email most likely on monday but also maybe on tues... it will get doe though.
