Olomouc

Another fantastic week gone by! We are finally settled in our new apartment and it is pretty nice. We now have a back yard so that is pretty cool.

On Wednesday we had exchanges so I was with Elder Cardon. We met a drug lord that had money, cars, women, a huge house everything but he said he felt like he had nothing. So he decided to change his life and give up the life of drugs. We had a really good lesson with him and it was cool to see how even when people have tons of money and things it doesn't mean they are happy but when we taught him about the gospel he felt that joy and happiness. Then we got some of the YSA to go contacting with us and after they realized how hard it is to be a missionary! It was pretty funny.

Friday I had visa work so we went to Prague. President McConkie also wanted to have our interviews. While we were waiting I saw a member from Plzen and she invited us to go into this interview for the Ego Magazine. So we went in and got interviewed by this lady and she asked why we were on missions, how we have seen it help us and others, and what we are going to do after the mission, questions like that. It was a pretty cool interview and turns out she is going to be printing a 6 page article on missionaries in the Czech Republic. Then I had my last interview with President McConkie. It's pretty sad that he has to leave.

On Saturday we had our culture night and there was a concert in the town center so we watched that for a little then we went to the World Grand Prix of womens volleyball!! It was way fun. The Czech Republic was playing Bulgaria, sadly they lost but it was way fun to watch that. Also it was broadcasted on worldwide television and Elder Cardon and I made it on TV!! It was way sick they zoomed on us and everything! After we got to go down on the court and get pictures with all of the players! It was so fun!

Yesterday we tracted in to this old mans house and he answered the door in a speedo. At first he didn't want to talk to us then he realized we were Mormons and said oh I've been to Utah, I love the Mormons! So he invited us to come back next week. Pretty good week!
I hope you all have a great week this week!

S laskou,
