Nazdar!
I never feel more like a missionary than the moment when we're looking up when our bus back home gets here, we find out it leaves in 1 minute and it's the last bus back, we're 5 minutes away from the bus stop, we all look at eachother, and then we start booking it as fast as we can to get there on time.
We had zone training this week, and it was so good. Zone trainings are one of my favorite things. There's so much power in having the entire zone together. It gets us so pumped to just go out and share the work. The APs gave a training at the end about opening our mouths and sharing the gospel with everyone. They then gave us a Book of Mormon to write our testimony in and then we all sang the mission song together and they sent everyone in our zone out on the streets of Prague to talk to everyone. It was so much fun. Trainings are the best.
The other day we were talking to people in the park, and we stopped this one dude. He was this super funny Czech dude. We were talking to him in Czech for a few minutes and all of a sudden he switched to perfect fluent English. But...he had a British accent. So he was Czech...speaking fluent English...with a British accent...and then he rode away on a unicycle. I want to be that dude's best friend haha
Pro tip: make friends with the locals cause then they get you into places for free. We have this one investigator who's really into history. We went on a výlet with him, and he took us around Prague. He used to work at all these history places, so he got us into them for free and took us to all these secret places that tourists don't know about. It was so chill.
General Conference was way good. We watched the Saturday Morning session live on Saturday night. We got together with the district and some friends from the ward and got dinner and snacks then watched conference together. Then Sunday we watched the Women's session in the morning, had breakfast with the district and Sister Gehring, watched the Saturday afternoon session, then watched the Sunday morning session live on Sunday night. Conference feels so different as a missionary. It was so cool. I already can't wait for next conference.
Also. A ton of the senior couples that are serving in Germany came to P
rague for their pday today, so our church building was full of a ton of super cute old senior couples. I was in heaven haha. It made my day.

Spiritual Thought Time:
The other day as we were contacting in the street, we met this lady from America (her husband's bringing me back Kraft Mac and Cheese from America). She's lived in the Czech Republic for about 4 years. She was talking to us about how Czech people are super atheist. She asked a Czech one time why they're so atheist. There are so many gorgeous kostels (cathedrals) here, so at one point these people believed in God. The man she talked to said that during the war God left them. They went through so much as a country, and God wasn't there for any of it. One of the things that I've learned is that God loves the Czech and Slovak people so much. They hold a special place in His heart. I'm so grateful I get to be here and teach the Czech and Slovak people that God is always here for us. He never leaves us. He loves us so much and is right there for us as we reach out to Him. He's got our back.
Love you all! Thanks for all the prayers and support! Have the best week!
