On Wednesday I guess! On Wednesday we met with one of our investigators, Kedár, the scary looking one from my e-mail last week!And, we had a great lesson... I think... He was a little hard to understand since he sounded like he was mixing Czech with Slovak and German, but Sestra Peterson and I bore our testimonies and tried hard to explain faith and its importance... Next time we're going to have the Olomouc Starší, Starší Plewe and Zapalač help teach with us so that we can understand everything Kedár tries asking us.
Then on Thursday we got drenched as we were starting a chalk display with the Olomouc Starší... Starší Plewe said ''It might miss us'' as the dark grey clouds and wind are blowing in our direction... that didn't happen... so we went to the church building and dried off while making phone calls to potential investigators. Then we had game night to which a bunch of people came! We were honestly a little surprised, in a good way. We started off with just the missionaries plus the STLs (Sister Training Leaders) and two members, and then at least six more people showed up! And at the end of it all Starší Plewe shared a spiritual message.
The next day we had our day of exchange with the STLs. I was on exchange with Sestra Valentine and Sestra Peterson was with Sestra Brown! It was so much fun. Sestrý Peterson and Brown went out of town to go and teach a former investigator named Sámot and he now has a baptismal date! He seems like an interesting guy from the way they described him (barefoot with an orange cowboy hat, and friends with every single person in the town) but still way cool! I'm excited to teach him this week! Sestra Valentine and I went out and contacted a lot! And then we had finding with the Starší from Olomouc and Prostějov (Starší Cardon and Wutzke) which was... drumroll... contacting! ¨But it was different. It was good. We went off for an hour and could only talk for 10 seconds and then we had to let the other companion talk and back and forth it went and then at the end of that hour we switched companions and we did the same thing, so for an hour, I was companions with Sestra Brown on my exchange with Sestra Valentine hahaha! But it was good, we almost set up lessons with three people, and Sestrý Brown and Peterson actually got us one new investigator out of it!
On Saturday we had service at the Sležarovi's house (a family in the ward who the father of the family used to be the branch president here forever ago). We were digging out the floor of this house that they bought and it was good... other than the fact that I may have hit my foot while using the pick-axe to break up the dirt a little... so now I have a bruise... nothing bad though :) Then we ate guláš that Sestra Sležarová made and zuchinni bread that she made! It was so amazing!
Yesterday, we saw a little miracle. We went tracting with the Olomouc elders after church and choir and we didn't get any tracting down because the sky decided to pour on us as we huddled under some trees for protection because Starší Plewe's umbrella broke and the rest of us forgot to bring ours.... But we were going to go and tract some specific people that the elders had found last week including this one YSA lady who might have interest. And as it was pouring, we saw her, running towards us (for excercise) and she stopped to say hello and meet us sestrý who we hope will meet with us at some point, maybe next Sunday! We'll see! Everything happens for a reason! Including missing our bus twice while it's pouring rain outside :)
Today we played SQUASH!!!!!! Basically my favorite sport ever! It was fun! So P-Day was fun <3
Anyway I love you all!!! I hope you have a great week! I know I had one! The weather here is killer right now! So humid and sooo hot... but other than that... AMAZING WEEK!!!!!!!!
Mám vás ráda!!!!!!!
