Week 5 in Brno

28 OCT 2013 Ahoj vsichni! Well this last week was soooo much better. We instituted comp inventory every night and that made a huge difference. I love both of my companions but man trios are hard haha. I wish someone had warned me! Oh well, we've kind of figured it out now, and things are going a lot smoother. Plus we found a bunch of new investigators last week!!! Which was super awesome. I'm convinced that Heavenly Father was just waiting for us to get our feet under us and then he just opened the floodgates. We are teaching this really cool guy named Diego, he's from Italy but speaks fluent French, and some English, can't remember if I already told you about him or not? oh well. But we had a really good first lesson with him, and he seems to be pretty solid. It was funny though cause he would start to ask a question in English, and then switch to French, and then I'd respond back in English cause I can't remember my French grammar (it comes out Czech)...and he was reading from an Italian pamphlet and Book of Mormon. And sometimes we accidently started speaking in Czech and he looked at us like we were crazy. Gotta love Europe!! Oh yeah and I bought a bunkbed! haha. So I'm not sleeping on the couch anymore. yay! Good thing I'm careful with my money or we wouldn't have had enough. But funny story...so we get to Ikea last Monday, and the first bed we see is perfect. So we booked through the rest of the store got to the warehouse, and it wasn't there. So we tracked down someone, and tried to explain what we wanted in Czech, and it turns out I wrote the wrong number down. So we finally got the bed, and realized that it was really long...and the zone leader's car is a little skoda....and no one in Europe owns a truck. So Sister Schoen called them and was like, abort mission there is no way it's going to fit. But they came anyways and measured it and it was just barely shorter than the whole car. So they were like, it'll probably fit....you can just buy it. haha. And they actually managed to fit the whole thing in--I'm not doing the story justice cause it was hilarious--I'll send a picture. Basically it was like Mr Incredible in his little car hunched over. hahaha. So then I put the whole thing together by myself and took apart the other broken bed, so our apartment is finally back to normal! That was fun. Sorry this is a lame email, I really can't remember what happened this week. Lots of lessons. Which was awesome. We are going to Prague again tonight cause Sister Steglich has visa stuff this time. And then we have training on Wednesday, and the whole Slovakian zone is coming too, which I'm super excited about, haven't seen them since my first transfer. For Halloween we are going to go visit a graveyard at lunch, and then we're having a halloween-themed district dinner on Sunday. So that'll be fun. that's about it.... Oh yeah I'm almost halfway through the Old Testament! And I am loving it. Yeah there are some crazy/disturbing stories, but you just have to get through them to find the gems. So I've developed a love for the Bible now, which is awesome. I feel like I'll be able to answer questions a lot better now, the more I read it the stronger my testimony of the Restoration gets. It's awesome. love you all!!! Sestra Cooper
