Dobry den rodinu!
This week has been super crazy!
Guess who came on Sunday! GUESS!
BOYD K. PACKER! And it was sooooooooo crazy to get the sacrament in a giant, 2000 people wide sacrament meeting! Also Easter was super coool at the mtc, and it allowed us to focus on the Atonement and Resurrection ALL DAY! Some sad news, last night an Elder from the new district going to Colorado Springs got sent home, so that kinda sucks. But, he had some stuff he needed to work out so it'll be better for him I guess.

Our zone is
doing well, Branch President Garth Hanson is super funny. He reminds me of yoda
and yogi bear at the same time, roughly what I imagine Grandpa Chezik being in
life. The new district leaves a week from yesterday! Woah! And we got a group of
internationals in today from Canada and the rest of their district of 8 elders
comes in tomorrow. They're going to the Seattle Washington and also Canada Hu
missions. Pretty cool. Did I tell you all about Elder Gill? He's super crazy.
He's from Florida and is a giant gorilla. He´s 32 and 2 in MMA fights currently
and holds a few heavyweight titles for that, and he reminds me a TON of Mike
Quist. He almost knocked out this guy on our floor on his second night but we
got to him in time and there have been no such incidents since. I'm really gonna
miss him when he's gone, he's like a link to home. Anyways, we've been learning
caseses 1 through 4 this week which is super crazy and confusing. Also this
Saturday we all get to become "investigators" for each other who we'll teach for
the rest of our time here. They said to play someone you know, I'm thinking
carefully about who though. Also I got to spend 7 and a half hours in the E.R.
on Wednesday because Elder Simcock has the flu and is a miminko (baby)lol.So that
was fun. But really it was super cool because some lady in the waiting room
asked me to give her a blessing (Elder Simcock was throwing up in the bathroom
for the third time) so that was super cool. All in all everything's going well,
Simcock had a good birthday and ate all his jerky and went into a food coma for
a few hours. Josh leaves in a weeek, I think Kendrick left, and Elder Davies
leaves on Monday. Also our foursquare friends leave tomorrow :/
Happy
Birthday VICK!
Also, Austins card in the mail.

I got the wedding invite,
nice work there, its weird to think its been a month.
Most of our time is
filled now, whatever downtime we have we write letters and such, and I
thoroughly enjoy receiveing letters! hook it up! Also they have caffeine
free mountain dew here so I do the dew about 3 times a week, (Simcock is on a
forced diet so i have to set a good example lol)
Elders Probst and Neumann kill me EVERYDAY. We never stop laughing so thats pretty cool. Theyre always pointing out Cochka's (cats) (slang in czech for babes) and then feeling bad about it afterwards because they forget haha.

Sestra Flanders (going to Sloveneia) is gonna be the only sister in our branch next week, which is pretty hilarious. Eliason is super funny and his comp, Carlson, or as we call him "Bishop Master Splinter Captain Grand Master Starski Starsi Carlson" , is pretty funny.
I feel like I don't write a lot, haha
Oh, Elder Neumann the
other day was trying to argue with me that Lake Powell was better than the
ocean, obviously someone has never been to the ocean!
Dad, did you know where
Called to Serve came from? Apparently B.K.P's wife wanted a song to rile up the
missionaries and get them excited to she found those lyrics and commissioned
someone to write music for it, now we sing it ALL THE TIME! Crazy!
I miss music SOOOOOO MUCH! We sing temporal songs alot because we can't listen to them. A room favorite is "pocket full of sunshine" and "I won't say I'm in love" from Hercules, super awesome! Definantly would appreciate someone getting me the Hercules soundtrack to listen to in the field!
Anyways, I'm doing well here, keep writing me please. I love you all, 'Im grateful to be a missionary and to be serving the Lord, soooooo fun! Talk to you all next week, pokoyny (peace)!
(p.s. the MTC are computer Nazi's so they wont let us send home pictures on email so ill mail some off)
