Slovensko - Week 3 in Trenčín (some names changed for privacy)

There is a hill in the middle of Trenčín with a castle on it called Brezina and it's beautiful. Last week we hiked up it and prayed for Trenčín as a district. On our way to the spot chosen, we saw some graves and at the end we stopped at a place called Tarzania because it's similar to a jungle gym concourse type of a thing. But the place is where almost a year ago, the then President Uchtdorf dedicated Slovakia. It is truly such a beautiful place!

And then, today we went to a gorgeous little tourist town called Bojnice that also has a castle - which is unfortunately closed on Mondays (our prep day & day we can go visit places). I just like it so much here.  We did get to enjoy going around the Bojnice Zoo though. The castle itself from outside is so pretty! And is one of the most intact castles in Slovakia... one day I'll go inside :) 

This last week we had zone training. And, it was the first time that only one zone met together. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures. I was going to! And I even reminded myself by telling Elder Petersen that Sestra Pulley had already left and we were the only two left from our MTC group in the zone. But then I forgot! Oh well... Training was so good though, we got to listen to recent convert stories, stories of parents who were converted, and even a convert story on a sister's mission call. It was so good and so spiritual!

Then, the next day we, here in Trenčín, we had interviews with President Pohořelický which were wonderful. The next day he brought us to Žilina where there was a training for all of the leaders in the church here in Slovakia -  and since my companion is the Relief Society President in our branch, we got to go! An there I got to see more missionary friends including Elders Wutzke and Fuqua!

So, this week included a lot of traveling but it was good! Traveling wears you down but it's also just so nice looking at the countryside of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

I love you all an hope you have an amazing week! Happy Valentine's day!💝
