March 4th letter

GOODNESS THIS WEEK WAS NUTS. I MAY WRITE IN ALL CAPS, BECUASE TO BE HONEST. THAT WAS THE WEEK. IF THIS HURTS YOUR EYES, AS IT KINDA DOES MINE, I APOLOGIZE AND MAY TURN BACK TO NORMAL CASE. I FEEL LIKE I WILL HAVE MADE MY POINT THAT THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING AFTER ABOUT A PARAGRAPH OF ALL CAPS STUFF....

SO! ITEM NUMBER 1:

WOW! WORDING QUESTIONS IS IMPORTANT! A YOUNGER KID IN THE BRANCH (NOT YET BAPTIZED) HAS BEEN MEETING WITH MISSIONARIES FOR AGES. AND BY AGES I MEAN SINCE BEFORE I KNEW I WOULD BE IN THE CZECH REP. AND HASN'T REALLY WANTED TO GET BAPTIZED FOR ALL THIS TIME. OR HAS BUT THEN HAS DECIDED AGAINST IT. AND OF COURSE TEACHING CHILDREN (TEACHING ANYONE, LETS BE HONEST) TAKES PATIENCE. okay enough with the all caps. it's just silly now. BUT! he has now accepted a date! before Easter! it was great! AND IT HAPPENED IN PASSING IN THE CHURCH BUILDING! it was amazing! the coolest conversation ever, and I'll tell you about in on the tape because it's too intense and time does not allow. basically. when you pray for stuff, God answers. and every once in a while we get lucky and what we think may be just our own selfish desire (so that something we want to happen, happens) turns out not to be selfish at all, and is also shared by the most supreme being in the universe, God. So with that said. It was a good week!

ALSO! MONGOLIAN FOOD IS AMAZING! as is check food. that goes without saying. but we went over to some Mongolian families last night to take the sacrament and teach some lessons (my Mongolian vocab is creeping along. i can now ask how ppl are doing, and say i'm doing well. but if they say anything other than that then i dont' understand. and WOW are their sounds tough! i though the r hacheck was tough. but yeah. goodness me.

by the way how high are the mountains in glacier park? i get asked that very often and can never answer (i should just tell ppl to google it. or start making up an answer... :) rather the first one. :)haha

you talked about small town stuff! and i totally had a small town experience in jicin! where we went for district meeting! i went to get some stuff... some wafer candy stuff that is ridiculously cheap. ridiculously so! haha and i had a great conversation with the guy behind the counter. turns out having a sister in canada is a great in because many czechs flew..... flee... but past tense.... fleed to canada a while ago! so everyone knows someone in canada! including me! haha it's great! it was just really cool and made me think of how you asked me about the small town big town stuff. :)

anywho's i'd write more, but time. and i'll get it on the tape today

love love love love
