in other news.
this past week was wonderful!
I know we talked about the weather,
it's still really nice. not too hot, but i don't need a jacket (and not only
because i'm from montana ;). no complaints.
I'm doing great! (hope your doing
better momma!) I just love it out here and am trying to make every second
count. The members are great, wild stories:
the meeting we had yesterday was with
a member, who on a note we had from a previous missionary said, do not contact,
very angry and not happy with us or the church. Elder Jaynes and I (mostly
Elder Jaynes) (it's a wonderful cycle of boldness because elder jaynes is just
crazy bold. and i have to be a good example as his companion, but at the same
time his czech is something that he is working on, so i do the more wild phone
calls (and yes a phone call with someone who is not the biggest fan of the
church falls under that category) ;) which is good because we call some people
that I normally would probably leave) not terribly sure if that all made sense.
but in the short, it's great that we are both together! he's fantastic. So we
got into touch with this man, seemed very nice, but not terribly interested,
then somehow we touched him or something but he came to the building yesterday
and we have a return appointment on schedule with him! he's great! it was a
miracle! the gospel is true :)
other wild stories, another of our
meetings was with a man who we met by a river. i'll just tell you the string of
events that got us talking to him, because they are wild- we were talking to a
mother with a stroller, she had to go, so we left her a card and kept walking
along the river, while a few steps down the road there was a man reading a book
on a bench. he looked pretty stinking into the book, and i have a rough time
interrupting people (i'm working on it? i mean our message is of great
importance! haha) but luckily the lady with the stroller caused a biker to go
around her on the path, nearly resulting in a bike crash! and while that is
normally very bad (no one was hurt) it got the reader up from his book just as
we were approaching, so i didn't have to interrupt his reading, because it was
interrupted by the tires/breaks/language-not-
Anywho's i was just pulled aside by a
czech woman who spoke some spanish to me, then german, then a little english
but the went back to czech. (really humors me how people do that. it's great.
right now i just prefer czech haha but it's great) and she's coming back to
copy some papers for a trip to spain or something along those lines, she
pulled me aside for a second to read something, but then i didn't even know
what i was supposed to read? she is funny. SO. the time is up, but i look
forward to next week eamiling on monday.
love you so much momma it was great
to hear from you!

p.s. i talked yesterday about american candy only as
something to give to people. i don't need candy to any extent, but we do give
things to people like crazy, so that was the thought behind that. but you don't
need to send anything. don't run to the post office today becuase i talked
about sending something :) that isn't necessary :) love you so much. i wont
stop you from sending things however. it's completely up to yall. i've never
been happier so don't really worry about anything :)
