Happy 4th of July!!!
Well this week I'm doing very well but i will honestly admit that I am beginning to get very tired. I have been on a pretty solid sleep schedule for over a year now, and now that schedule has been changed. I was very glad to be back in Prague this week but it didn't last very long because we were soon back on the road and on our way back to Ostrava to Have a full exchange because when we were there previously last week we didn't have a whole lot of time with Elders so we felt the need to go back and spend some more time with them. I am glad to hear that there are some people preparing for baptism and that the missionaries are getting back to the basics and refilling their teaching pool by finding more. At this time in our mission most missionaries are doing the same.
We are actually celebrating the fourth of July today here in Prague and most likely around the mission. The missionaries don't have the entire day off but they are all gathering in for a lunch barbeque.
It sounds like things are looking up back at home with new jobs and extensions to jobs. The staging service sounds perfect for the two of you seeing how you love design so much. New ideas and experiences keep life rich...in more ways than one, so keep the new ideas and different perspectives flowing.
This week has been hectic, but nonetheless enjoyable! I look back at days that were hard and am so grateful that i experienced them. This mission is the most perfect preparation for life. I heard one missionary explain it like this," Often there come days that are like storms, and we can choose to run back inside or we can learn to dance in the rain!" That touched me so much and i really look forward to that storm now so I can show forth my faith,...and dancing skills!...haha.
Speaking of storms, it has rained every evening for the past week and a half, and there are many places that have flooded. In Prague the Vltava River has gotten so high!! It is a bit scary but we will be ok.
That is all i have for now. If you ever feel like sending a package...Im not suggesting that you should...But if you do i would love Reeses and Cinnamon Poptarts.
I love you family keep being Super!!!
Love your son,
