Frydek-Mistek

Hey everybody!! So this week was pretty insane! Last Monday we were just shopping and a nice second hand store hittin up all the good deals, which by the way I got a brand new suit coat made in Turkey for $4! Anyways right in the middle of shopping all happily and what not we get a call from the mission president and turns out that the crazy guy that got up in sacrament meeting last week has been creepin on the sisters so we had to be emergency transferred to Frydek-Mistek and Elder Vickers and I have to blind in there. I was pretty bummed cause I really liked my area in Ostrava but God has a plan and we have already seen so many blessings. So we got the call on Monday and Pres said that we had until Thursday to be moved into the apartment in Frydek. We already had lessons and what not planned for the week so we it was way hard to find time to pack. We eventually got everything packed and moved but on Friday we had an appointment with a charity set up for 8 in the morning but we had just moved to Frydek so Pres gave us permission to sleep at the other Elders apartment cause it was closer. So Thursday we moved to Frydek at 7 at night, didn't have time to unpack cause we had to catch a train back to Ostrava then we get off the train and its already 9:15 and we still had to walk through this sketchy path in the woods to get to the other Elders apartment. It was a way fun sleepover though! lol When we woke up, the water heater broke so we all had to take cold showers and hurry out the door to get to our appointment. We finally got there then the lady text us and said sorry my boss isn't here today we are gonna have to reschedule. So that was a bummer. Finally we get back to Frydek-Mistek Friday late at night and got a few minutes to unpack. Turns out we left the box with all of our frozen food on the couch and it melted all over but we just threw it back in the freezer and its all tasted fine so far. Sunday the crazy guy got on the same train as us to go to church in Ostrava and he was going crazy looking all over the train for the sisters then he finally comes up to us and was like where are they?! We had a pretty good discussion with him so that was fun. Then Sunday night we got home for dinner at 8 (we have dinner at 8 here) and realized that the only thing we were missing for standards was 2 people that set up with us. We were already in sweats and what not but we didn't have time to change so we just threw on our coats and dress shoes, said a prayer that we would find 2 people, and went out the door. Right when we turned the corner, we met two people and they said "we have been searching for this. We are so lucky to have met you tonight." It was a huge blessing from God and for sure our prayer was answered! We also had an appointment with an old couple that have been members for soooo long!! They are way old but awesome. He was telling us how he use to hold church meeting is that very apartment before they organized the branch in Ostrava. He has some crazy stories so that was awesome to hear some of them. Anyways its been crazy but a lot of fun. I've definitely been able to see God's hand in our work this week. I hope you all have a great week!
