Happy Easter everyone!!!!!!! |
By now, You all know that I love to try all the different foods around me. Last Monday was P-day of course, so
we ate some pretty good food! It was super sunny... unlike now haha... and we
ate Indian food that was actually spicy! I'm so happy we actually found a place
where there's spiciness... Czechs just don't eat anything spicy... I can't even
find cayenne here!!
After that, we went and got ice-cream! During the warmer
months they literally seem to have ice cream stands everywhere! I had black
currant flavor! So good!!!
This entire week, up through
yesterday we had a stand at the Easter market on the naměsti and we played
videos about Christ the entire time. We actually found some investigators from
it too! So exciting!
One man, Sakul has a baptismal date! He is looking to make new friends, so we're trying to invite him to all of our activities. He came to Family Home Evening last night with
a huge whip... taller than six feet I'm pretty sure. Here in the Czech Republic they have an Easter tradition where the men get to whip the women on Easter Monday morning
with these whips they make out of young branches so that the're flexible and
they braid them together and tie ribbons at the top. It's kind of weird but
when you watch little children do it to their moms, it's kind of cute.

Anyway, on Wednesday we
had the sister training leaders (STL's) - Sestry Cade and Hill - come for
exchanges which was so fun! They stayed until Thursday and it was
great!On Wednesday, they helped us out at the stand and we did another
#KnížePokje chalk display!
I was with Sestra Cade for the exchange and we also
went contacting in Bory Park for about an hour and found tons of really cool
people... none who had interest, but we gave them our card so that they could
look up the Prince of Peace video we have. So we were basically just spreading
Eastery cheer through Christ!

For dinner with the STL's we had a tasty
concoction that Sestra Andersen made and peach cobbler with ice cream that she
also made!!!

sudden this morning we got rain and SNOWFLAKES!! So crazy!!!
Spring at the beginning of the week & snow towards the end :) Happy Easter everybody!!! I hope it was great! Love you all so much!!!! |
