I'm going back and forth on this week whether I would like to stay or
whether I would like to go it's rather confusing. On one hand Kosice is
just the best city and I wish I could do more for it than I have. I've tried
hard but I always wish I could go back and do more. I suppose that's usually
the normal reaction, especially to leaving the mission entirely. I also would
really like to go to a different city and just have a change of pace I don't
really care who my companion is, or whether I train again I've already done it
once and that's really all I ask. haha, We'll see what happens. I don't
really care if I'm district leader or whatever, just as long as I can give it my
all somewhere. It's also kind of a reason why I would like to leave Kosice
because then it's like a new start in a new city, and we can just find and teach
and baptize people and stuff.

A couple things first off, I did
get the calendar thank you very much for that. I got it at
Christmas actually it got in the day of
our training and we were in prague and they went and fetched it so I don't think
they had time to go through it and confirm that it came they just sent it to me. Who was involved with it? It was really cool and it's really helpful, and
Ritchie doesn't look like a baby in it anymore he looks so old, and not as fat
haha. I also found out from President Van Dalen that there are 2 missionaries
coming in the transfer, president Van Dalen finds out 2 weeks before they come
in because he's the president of the Church in Slovakia, it's a good thing too
considering he is from Holland haha. So that means that they have to open up
another area next transfer and we actually already know where that's going to be
it will be in Bratislava so they will have 8 missionaries there next transfer,
thus it is pretty likely that i'll be going to Bratislava I think, maybe not
we'll see I suppose there are quite a lot of different cities to be moved to. I
still think that I and Sister Jones are both going to Bratislava and we'll be
together until she ends her mission haha, so we'll just be together for a year,
that would be interesting haha.
That's cool about the house
getting ready I wish I was there to see it, it would be nice to have that while
I was home I suppose but I see how it is the second I leave you just fix
everything up and move out haha. It's fine though I can really live anywhere I
don't have very many plans laid out when I get home I don't really need to think
about it right now I have quite a bit of time left. I'm happy that Evan had his
farewell
today and that he'll be
home for his Birthday, I'm sure that's a great thing for his mom and for him and
stuff. He'll like it, there's actually an Elder coming from Idaho Falls, which I
guess is going to be in his mission so if he ever goes there he may be able to
find his family, and then they have something in common.

This past
week was a tough week with investigators and members and all that stuff we
couldn't get any meetings set up hardly and people were just sick and all that
kind of stuff it was just a disaster, but then we had an amazing Friday. We were
trying to get a lesson set up but we couldn't get one done at all, so we
resorted to having a day of finding. So we went to Big Burger that day just
because it may be my last week with it so I have to partake as much as possible
and then we got to the building went to the bathroom got a picture book and went
to pray. And at that moment I just wasn't very into it at all, I was thinking
yay another contacting session where people will just ignore us all day like we
had had the day before, I wasn't very excited to say the least. So we go out
there and we start stopping people on the street and the first few, they just
said no and kept walking and finally someone stopped for us for like 15 seconds
and just listened and then very politely said no and walked away. I said to
Elder Christensen well that's a nice change of pace, and then we continued. And
for some reason or another we just started talking to each other and having fun
and laughing and smiling and while not very people heard us out it was just a
very happy day. We then were just very happy and contacted a woman and her son
who was interested in the picture and we got her number and had a meeting set up
for today at one but she didn't come but we didn't know that then, so that
doesn't count. Then President McConkie called us and told us some fantastic news.
There is a family who got baptized in Paris, who then moved to England who is
originally from kosice and they are returning to kosice Today. They get in at 5
and they want us to be there and we're going to have a really good first
impression with them. They have 3 kids 1 20, 1 16, and 1 9. They are going to be
just such and awesome addition to the branch I'm sso excited. And then after
that we talked to a ma who was very interested in why there are so many churches
and how to know which one is the right one. So we talked and testified and he
asked to meet later (
Tomorrow) and
we have a meeting set up with him, and he wanted a brochure but we didn't have
any so he said he was waiting at tesco for his daughter and so we ran and got a
pamphlet and then ran back and talked to him for like another 15 minutes until
his daughter arrived. His daughter is 18 and he has another who is 19. So yeah
we had a really spiritual day and then also
today we have a ton of meetings set up, (4). So yeah this
week is going to be awesome I'm excited to finish this transfer strong and then
welcome the next one in with that same force!
, I have a few more
pictures to add to the other ones that I sent, but I love you alla nd wish you
all a wonderful week and hope that you're all safe!
