| Me and my new comp, Sestra Taylor! |
Sooo, last Monday my new companion
Sestra Taylor came in along with two elders, Starší Swink and Vickers. In other
words the Plzeň district got chopped in half and new missionaries came in to
fill in the holes.
Unfortunately, this week we lost one
of our investigators... Rtep, the one whom we thought we had potential visiting with. But for
this next week we have a meeting set-up with one of our investigators, Adgam,
whom the Slovany (our area) sisters haven't been able to set up with in
transfers! So exciting! She recently moved out of her old apartment and we're
excited to start teaching her again because she loves the church and comes all
of the time.

On Friday, our newbies to Plzeň who
aren't mission newbies went to Sestra Jurasková's house for the first time with
the rest of us! We had some kind of tomato sauce and huge meatballs with our
savoury knedliký. Those of us with experience in Plzeň ate nine knedliký, so
that the others would only have to eat six. My companion was dying after three
but struggled through!
On Saturday, we did service with
Starší Vickers and Anderson at a less-active family's house and it was
interesting to say the least... we dug up a lot of plants that were overgrowing
her tulips. We also picked some flowers that when made into a tea, it's
supposed to be super healthy for you. It took us a whole three hours (at least)
to do the work. When we were done, one of the 12-year old twins comes up to
Starší Anderson and was hanging out with him a bit too much for his comfort.
She was holding onto his arms and poking his chest because his last name was on
his shirt and she needed his help to balance while sitting on her bike
hahahahahaha It was hilarious! His companion and we sestry were in the car
watching this just laughing.
Saturday night, we had sports night in the park. Every week, we also clean the church building. The elders were just exhausted, so they were getting back fixes from Starsi Swink & Raines ha ha!

Today for our P-Day we went to the
local beer brewery, the Pilsner-Urquell one. It is what this town is know for.
We ate at the brewery restaurant and had some gulaš (goulash) as is the
tradition for missionaries on their first p-day in Plzeň.

Then we took the tour
of the brewery which was a little boring for somebody who so obviously doesn't
drink beer but at the same time it was cool and interesting to look at and
learn about. The acoustics were good in the cellar where the beer was kept, so the Elders decided to sing some songs! so there's that!
