Well the highlight of the
week was going to the tatry mountains, mainly because we just got back, that's
why We went to a place called strbske pleso, they have a waterfall there and we
climbed up there and all that and it was really fun. We spent quite a bit of
time up there but everything worked out all right because now we have the rest
of the day open. It was a really cool experience and I'm so glad that I was able
to be in Zilina for it. We went as the 4 of us and with Brat Seidl, he is really
nice about it and likes going on Vylets and on the way back everyone fell asleep
haha. The weather there was beautiful, even though we're all a little sun-burned, except Elder Roosendaal
because he's brown but that doesn't matter. It's pretty painful but whatever,
it's the first time that I've gotten sun-burned on my mission, and oddly enough I was actually
just thinking about that this past week. We're tired but I have some wonderful
pictures to show all of you so there will be a lot of things sent after this
email, so be prepared. I'll explain more about the Tatry later in the
letter.
This week, I think I'll
start with our investigators and how they're doing. At the beginning of the week
we met with our Norwegian friend and the Bulgarian for the last time. We still
meet with the Norwegian but the Bulgarian graduated and never wants to see
Slovakia again unless it's for Kofola haha. We had a good conversation with them
and we got some photos with them so when I get home I'll get them off Facebook
from him. The great part about the meeting though was that he accepted to meet
with missionaries in Norway, and he also told his mom he was meeting with us. So
that was really cool for us. We wound up not meeting with the family this week
because they didn't have time, they were gone the times we could have come but
we're still working with them but we'll see how that goes in the future. One of
the great things of the week was a meeting that we had with a woman in Rajec,
She was a potential that me and Elder Mason found a long time ago who said we
could come visit her in Rajec. So we went out there on Sunday and met with her
and she is awesome. She has 3 kids and I feel that she thinks the Book of Mormon
is true and she agreed to be baptized if she learned it was true. We have
another meeting with her next week and she is trying to come to the branch party
that we're having on lietavsky castle this Saturday with all her kids. We found well this week and
we're just looking to continue the pace all the way through the transfer. It’s
been good and that's basically how I can describe it.
The rest of the week was
very normal, we went places we contacted people and just did the normal
missionary life. I'm preparing to come home and I'm getting excited to see
everyone. It will be hard to leave but I have to at least for a while haha. I
want to visit as much as I can and I think one of the most important things for
me is to just not forget about the people here because they're so wonderful. I
mean of course I met some awesome people and I'm going to be friends with some
of the missionaries the rest of my life but I get the feeling that I just really
want to keep in contact with the people that I've come to know and love over
here. So thank goodness for skype and Facebook haha. I don't know I have 2 weeks
left and there are things I'm looking forward to, namely food and having some
freedom and calming down from all of the responsibility that is put on our
shoulders as missionaries. These 2 weeks will fly but it's time, I am
ready.
Well that's pretty much
everything, I'm tired, a lot, it's hard to sleep because it is so dang hot here
right now, even though it's raining today. The entire week we were dying from the heat, it just
wipes me out, but I got a good tan on my arm and head haha. I'll need to go tan
when I get home to even everything out haha. Any who thanks a lot everyone for
the support and all that from the whole mission, I'm very grateful to everyone,
and have a great week!
