Have a great week! Joseph's editor - BWS]
Dear everyone,
My visa renewal went well last Monday in Prague. Everything was in order and I was able to move through the line very quickly. Everyone else was also well taken care of and we were all able to return to our areas safely (as far as I am aware). I spent that night again with the Zone Leaders and then on Tuesday morning we drove down to to Zlín for District Meeting. That night we taught Sister Štulerová the law of chastity. We were happy to hear that not only does she agree with it; she has lived according to it all her life. That was one of the best ways to end a day I have ever had here.
We also had a meeting with a member named Brother Kolař. He is a nice older man, who has translated the Dead Sea Scrolls into Czech in his free time since retiring (purely for his own pleasure). We also found out he is a vegetarian.
We also met with the Janouškovi family. Brother Janoušek is the former Branch President and wanted us to come over and have a family home evening with his family. That went well, and we shared a lesson on repentance and the steps pertaining to it.
On Saturday we ran up to Olomouc for the baptism of two young (older than nine) children, who have been meeting with our Zone Leaders. Their mother is a member and both are very prepared for their baptismal ordinance. It was a pleasure to see them get baptized.
On Sunday night we went tracting and decided to offer to sing people a hymn as our door approach. We were rather bluntly rejected. Apparently nobody wanted to know there was "Sunshine in our Souls" that day. We might not try it again, but it was interesting to try a different approach. Elder Bown knows from past experience that the offering of cookies is also flatly rejected. It was a fun night though.
We have a Zone Conference over in Brno this Thursday and we are looking forward to that. Hopefully they do not just get Fried Cheese and Chicken steak again.
I love you very much and wish you the best with everything. The Book of Mormon is true, and by the way, I do not know where we are reading together. I have gotten rather lost with that recently. I actually have no idea where I should be. Please send me a correction message so that we can be all together. [I'll let him know that we are reading Mormon 3 tonight!]
Love,
Joseph
