Česká republika - Week 2 Brno (some names changed for privacy)

New apartment in Brno!

 For Thanksgiving we got together with my new companion, Sestra Miller, as well as the 2 elders here: Starsi Backman and Starsi Brockbank and played Settlers of Catan!!!!! Also, we made mashed potatoes, stuffing, bread rolls, some chicken, and blueberry jam bars. It was so much fun! We celebrated with two other members of the church here. If Starší Brockbank sounds familiar to you, it's because he also served in Plzen the same time I was there. 

Also, here in Brno the work is moving forward! Sestra Miller and I had so many lessons this last week. We have three investigators (Ačrev, Jerdon and Ynhoj ) that are working towards being baptized!  They're so excited, and so are we! We just love them so much and care so much for them. They have pretty hectic lives but they're trying their best!

This last week I had my first real Czech Párek v Rohliku which is basically a hot dog haha with ketchup and mustard, or either one... I had just mustard on mine :) And it was soooo good! Czech mustard is kind of bitter or spicy... it's similar to Dijon for those of you who like mustard's!

This morning it snowed for a little bit and then melted but it was so pretty while it lasted! We're hoping for a white Christmas... or rather... We're dreaming of a white Christmas.

Anyway, Christmas is coming up and I'm so excited! The Christmas trhy (stands/tents) are up and we're going to hopefully check those out today at the Christmas market! And all of the Christmas lights are up at night! Which tends to start at around 5pm here. It gets really dark really fast! 

You can print up a December calendar (or just view it) with a scripture for each day showing us how we can share the light of Christ with others through service in simple ways. (at this site...)

Here's a short video about how God has freely given us EVERYTHING we have and can we also give freely to others...
