This week was pretty interesting, and guess what? Saturday
was my 200th day on my mission! Everyone here thinks I'm really weird
for counting stuff like that. I'm not sure why I do it, I just think
it's fun and it helps me see that time is really passing, cuz being on a
mission sometimes feels like I'm stuck in a time warp in another
dimention. And I don't count every single day, I just have a calendar
where, at the beginning of my mission, I counted and marked every
hundred days and things like that. So I'm not too weird, haha. :)
Anyway, what did we do this week? Monday
we didn't go anywhere super cool on any vylets or anything. We just ran
errands, and then we played card and board games with the elders at the
church building for like 5 hours haha. Sounds super exciting I know. It
was actually really nice to just sit and have some fun, since we run
around all day every day.
On Tuesday
Ses. Andreason and I tried to make Halušky. We had both seen it made,
but neither of us had ever made it before, so it was quite the
adventure. We made a giant mess in our kitchen, but I think it was
semi-successful. It turned out alright and tasted pretty good. Then
there's this thing that's like a joke among missionaries called "halušky
sny" or "halušky dreams" and they are totally real! Every time I eat
halušky I have really weird dreams that night. So that was kind of an
adventure to haha.
On Wednesday
I became a true Brnačka (there's another special symbol thing in there,
but I can't find it on this keyboard...). And I don't really know how
to say it in English, but I'm now a true person-from-Brno haha. There's a
lady in the branch here who the missionaries all call the Brno Mom, and
every transfer (almost, we didn't do it last transfer) she knights the
missionaries like true Brnačky. But to be knighted you go to this
castle, but to get to this castle, you ride a boat across the resevoir! I
think that was the first time I've been on a boat in about a year! It
wasn't like our boat at home, but it was close enough! And then we got
to explore the castle and everything, it was so cool! And then we got
knighted with an official certificate and everything. :)
Everything else that happened this week was pretty normal. We taught some people, went to church, all the good stuff like that.
Being
on a mission is crazy, and it's crazy how much my testimony has grown.
Everything is just crazy when you think about it long enough haha. I
can't believe how long I've already been here, it feels like I just got
here. I still don't really know the language, but somehow I'm able to
talk to people. The Lord really is in this work. We do so many things
that seem like they would be impossible, but with the Lord, nothing is
impossible.
I love you all and hope you have an awesome week!
