Česká republika - Week 4 Plzeň (some names changed for privacy)

Spring may have lied this morning :)



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!!!

 On Easter Sunday we went to church and Sestra Komancová gave us each some Easter chocolates! Which ended up being our Lunch that day haha! It was sweet! It felt like Easter!!!
