Hey everyone it's afternoon here in Kosice and it is still chilly and
crisp, so I will most assuredly be using my winter coat this transfer probably
in November or something like that. Today was transfers and my new companion
came in today around 2 and his name is Elder Guymon and he was in Bratislava
last transfer. This is his 2nd to last transfer and he's going home halfway
through the next one so he leaves on December 30 and this is also where he started out his
mission so he gets to end it most likely is this beautiful place. Some things
have changed he's said since he was here last, he says that when he was here
they didn't use bus passes and they just walked everywhere which seems like a
nightmare. and then he also says that the apartment didn't change and that he
was in the one I'm in so that was bad for him because our appartment is bad haha.
We got a call this morning before
Elder Barber left from the office couple and he told us that we may be looking
for a new appartment because ours isn't in the best of shape haha but it's not
so bad. Elder Barber is now a zone leader but they've split up the zone leaders
this transfer and Elder Barber is follow-up training Elder Ringger and his other
zone leader companion is in Zvolen about 20 minutes away from there and he's
training a new missionary there, I don't know which one exactly but they're
going to have a tough time with everything but that's kind of funny and
interesting so he's there now and I'm excited for him to be
there.
My new companion works really hard and walks really fast and
he has also hurt his foot I just forgot how but I heard sometime. Right now I'm really tired because I
didn't get very much sleep
last
night because I'm sick and was up and kept waking up because I have a
cold or something, just a lot of congestion and a sore throat so far but at the
same time it was great to hang out with president Van Dalen
today. While we were waiting we taught a
member home teaching and then ate lunch and it was all good.
Today we went and bought Elder Guymon's
bus pass and then we're going to email and then quickly shop and do other things
haha we don't have all the time in the world
today because it takes so long to get to Kosice from
anywhere. But it's just another thing that goes on out here. This week was a
long week but not very eventful, it was basically the same except we created a
new class for family history and that was a pretty good success and we had about
10 non members there so that was cool that we could help them work through that.
Being sick just really
kills me sometimes and this time is no different.
This week I did
bake a Medovnik cake actually, it's a dessert from the Czech republic and it is
a layer cake and you layer a creama dn then also a walnut and condensed milk
ontop of some cakes made with honey. It was really fun to make and it looks
really good and it tastes absolutely delicious, I have pictures of it that I
will be definitely sending you. Next week is conference but we won't be watching
it until the week after when they send everyone DVD's with the language on it so
that everyone can understand except for the most part only some of the talks are
in Slovak and the rest will be in Czech so we hae to suffer through that. It's
not that it's bad it just takes a lot of work to understand what they are trying
to tell you, some things are the same and then some things are similar and then
some things are impossible to figure out what they're trying to say to you. They
just sound so weird to us haha but that's of little importance. This week is
going to be good and hopefully I get better
, and I will be taking some pills and junk for sure
haha.
