Another great week gone by! We had a rough week as far as meeting with investigators because every time we set up they would cancel 20 minutes before. Also on Tuesday I was on an exchange with Elder Beazer again and we had apartment checks but we had about 5 minutes before the senior couple was going to get there so we decided to go contact outside our building until they got there but as soon as we walked out of our apartment we realized we left the keys inside and with our building you also have to have a key to get out so we were locked out of our apartment but locked in the building and the senior couple showed up but we couldn't let them in so we had to sit there and wait for Elder Needham to bring us the spare key. But we passed so that was good! On Wednesday we went over to Sister Komoncova's house for lunch and she is the best! She is the nicest old grandma and she loves the missionaries! Then on Thursday we had service at a less active members house and it was the grosses thing I have ever experienced in my life! We washed her dishes and every single dish was covered in black mold, and the worst part was she still ate off of them with the mold! Also her entire floor is covered in a mixture of her dogs hair and her hair so when I tried to vacuum it got clogged and over heated so I had to reach my hand in there and pull out clumps of hair and I filled a whole groceries bag with vacuumed up hair! Then on Saturday we had sports night which is always fun and we had some new people show up but on the way there Elder Needham lost his wallet and we didn't notice until after sports night so we never did end up finding it. Sunday we had branch conference so President McConkie and his family were there and we had a ton of people there. We had so many that we had to put up chairs in the back rooms for people to sit! It was awesome! Then we were suppose to meet this lady outside of her Kostel, Catholic Church, but she wasn't there so we went inside to see if she was there, she wasn't but it was a pretty sweet building. It is super big and old but you could just feel that it wasn't even close to the true church! But today was by far the best day, this morning we got Nikolej on date for baptism on March 5th and he is really solid. Then we took a tour of the Pilsner Urquell beer factory. It was probably one of the coolest things I have seen here! But with being here and seeing so many drunk people and how beer has messed up their lives it just goes to show how important it is to take care of your body. Like in 1 Corinthians chapter 3 we know that our body is a gift from God and when we respect our bodies we show our love for him! And I know he blesses us when we take care of our bodies. I hope you all have a great week!
