PHEASANT!!! |
On Tuesday, our water heater wasn't working the best. So, Sestra Peterson and I took freezing cold showers and then we called our landlords who came up and fixed with no problem. We literally have the best landlords ever! They also cleaned our shower while we were there and they're planning on redoing our kitchen sometime this week I think! Anyway, we went out contacting later on in the afternoon and Sestra Peterson found this family that knew my counselor from when I went to Zion's Camp in the summer of 2014. How cool is that?! So we talked, and in the end they weren't super interested but we think that the next time they meet with missionaries the'll be just a little more prepared!
On Wednesday we basically went to Poland... We were literally 20 minutes away from the border in a little town called Hanušovice.
We were on our way to our lesson with Tomáš in Šumperk, but then it turned out that our train was changing tracks and didn't end up going to Šumperk, so they dropped us off at the smallest train stop ever in Ruda nad Moravou where we ended up waiting for an hour!
And then , we got on the wrong train... the one going away from Šumperk... hahahaha Needless to say, we had quite the interesting day!
We stayed there for a while and then finally made our way to Šumperk after a lot of freaking out from my companion who just felt really bad for having brought me on this accidental adventure hahahaha.
On our way home though we had more problems. Our train took an hour long stop in a random city - this was not supposed to happen and we got home an hour later than expected. We were so tired by the end of the day that on our way home, some funny stuff happened. We made a stop at a place called Bohdíkov and when it was announced I jokingly turned to my companion and asked ''Did they just say Home Depot?'' And then when we made that hour long stop, as the train was starting back up before it started moving, I saw a man get to the train station and said ''This is not the train you are looking for'' and I may have done the Star Wars hand gesture to go along with the reference... :)
On Friday, we had interviews with President Pohořelický which were super great as alwas and way insightful... personally. However all the while our toilet at home was broken. And toilets here are not the same! You can't take off the back part of the toilet to see what's going on with the flusher! So we had to hand-pur water into the toilet after each use hahahaha and Sestra Peterson swung in with the sass when we got home and it still wasn't fixed, she came to me while I was studying and goes ''I'm really glad he hasn't come yet!'' And then, we talked about some medical stuff because Sestra Peterson was getting sick and she is going to be a nurse when she returns from the misśion and we brought Star Wars back... ''This, is the nurse you are looking for''. So, that was last week!
Today, we went to the hospital in town because Sestra Taylor's sickness didn't go away. Turns out she has a virus in the upper respiratory tube and the doctor told her to rest because you can't take anything to get rid of a virus... So that was fun!...
Anyway, this week, Sestra Peterson and I were talking and I told her that so far this has probably been the transfer that's the hardest, but also one of the most satisfying and it was really cool because she talked about how she felt the same way about this transfer and her past two and how really, the harder ones allow for the most growth and that is just such a satisfying feeling!
I love you all!! I hope you have a wonderful week and a great start up of school! Love Learning!!!
Čau!
Mám vás ráda!!!!!
