Hradec Kralove
Pretty random but the other day we were out contacting and this family stopped us and said, you guys are the JWs right? And we were like no we are the mormons. But he was just joking cause turns out he is a bishop from Texas and he was visiting his daughter here so they took us to get KFC. We also got invited over to a members house for dinner. That stuff doesn't usually happen here in the Czech Republic.
We had a way good lesson with a family. About a month ago Elder Beazer and I were on an exchange and we tracted this guys house and he came out and said that he didn't have time because his dad died the day before. We testified about eternal families and he told us that we could come back after the funeral and everything so we finally went back and set up a time that we could teach him. We had a really good lesson with him about the plan of salvation and he is really prepared. He told us that he wants his kids to have hope in their lives so that they never have to feel the way he felt when his parents died. And of course his kids were running around the yard naked cause it wouldn't be a Czech family if that didn't happen. Turns out he was also a pro hockey player for the Czech Republic for 25 years so I talked with him about hockey for a while.
This week we also went to Olomouc to visit a district meeting there which was fun because we got to contact in Olomouc again! I miss that place so much. We also got to have lunch with Sara and it was good to see that she is teaching with the missionaries and helping a lot in the branch.
Elder Beazer and I were driving home from tracting the other day and we drove past a lake, we were both looking at the water thinking about how nice it would be to go to the lake when all of the sudden this girl moons us... lol that was pretty interesting.
Oh and we met this girl that doesn't speak English very well but we sent her a text asking what time she could meet and she replied with the picture that I attached... lol she meant to say Ill warn you.
So as you can see things are going pretty well. I hope you all have a great week.
S Bohem,
