On Wednesday, the weather was quite chilly (not so, the rest of the week though) and Starší Vickers and Anderson were out on an exchange in České Budějovice, so Starší Swink and Raines decided that we should do a chalk displayů which we did, and it was way cool. We did it on Jesus Christ and wrote out his name along with other names He has. I made it look fancy by drawing it all out, Sestra Taylor gave me names to write out, and the elders got two potentials out of it... I think.
Then the next day the elders on exchange were still on exchange so we decided that we would party it up (not really-but we still had fun). We had "poar bear" (language study with Jitka - one of our return missionary YSAs!) - don't ask me why it's called that, I don't know hahaha. Anyway, the elders brought Swedish Pancakes and, we the Sisters brought toppings and snicker-doodles! So it was way sweet!
On Thursday, we had district meeting. And in our district meetings we role-play, every singe time currently we're working on a couple (played by missionaries in our district of course) and we're teaching them. This last week, Sestra Taylor played the part of the girlfriend who has a Catholic grandma... so we decided to play on that and give her an accessory as part of her "costume", so we made her a necklace out of some string/rope stuff we found and added a little homemade cross... The elders thought it played way well into our role-play so we went with it and it was a pretty good role-play. Three of the elders were teaching her... In two weeks time. I'll be teaching with Starší Anderson... our district leader - Starší Swink said he would push our limits... I guess he wants to see how it'll turn out with an Elder and Sister teaching the couple hahaha... we'll see!!
On Friday, we went to Sestra Jurasková's who made us some goos svičková and had birthday cake for Sestra Taylor's birthday, who jut turned 20!!! Now there's three of us! That's half our district! Sestra Taylor didn't want her birthday celebrated vubec/at all so we didn't really do anything since we also know that Sestra Jurasková would kindly, as any grandmother would force her to have a celebration hahaha!
On Saturday, we had lunch with all of the elders and two girls, Jana and Anička who come to our activities quite often, are former investigators, but might be potentials again. They're such sweet girls! However, the elders were an hour and a half late and they hadn't made the food yet... In the end it was all good though! And we played with a voleyball... we passed it around, we kicked it around and just had a nice time with them.
And then on Sunday... we had quite an interesting day. On Thursday I think, we saw a bus filled with kids from Utah wave at us and take pictures of us, the missionaries, since they are all LDS. It was a little weird because that doesn't happen in foreign countries, but it was cool! And on Sunday, they're bus filled with 35 Utahins rolled up to the church building and there was a lot of translating going on, especially since it was for a testimony meeting. Then we went to go see their show which was a few minutes long - they were part of a folk festival and they were representing Americans, by doing clogging and some western cowboy stuff, and the efy song Arise - pretty fun!
Today for our P-Day, we started off by hiking up a hill to a castle in the middle of a forest with Starši Swink and Raines. It was pretty cool. I was pretty much dying on the way up but it was sooo worth it, and so much fun!
We were out on our hike from 7:30 in the morning and didn't get back until lunch time which we had with Jitka and all of the elders! It's been a pretty nice day! And a pretty nice week!
I hope y'all all have a splendid week! Love you all! Čau/Ciao!
