This first week has been really rough, we have a brand new appartment, and the people who set it up forgot to install the washing machine. So we didn't have a washing machine for like the first four days, then I got fet up with the whole situation and we brought it into the kitchen, and hooked it up to our kitchen sink. So we had a working washing machine for one day, then The part where the pipe connects to the wall started leaking whenever water went down the drain. And we had water all over our floor. I used my two towels to wipe it up... then was thrilled to realize that THAT meant that I now don't have any clean towels... We've aleady talked to the mission office, and they are talking to the landlord, so we'll see what happens. As for now we're unable to use our kitchen sink, so we wash our dishes in the bathtub... and we have a washing machine sitting in the middle of our kitchen floor, and today (monday) I'm sitting here in the Olomouc Library emailing, we have three bags full of dirty laundry that we brought here so that we can wash our clothes at the Senior Couples' house, then today, after we wash them, we're going to carry our wet clothes home in plastic bags, onto a train, and then we're going to walk home from the train station... Last night, Elder Jensen and I called Presidente Pohořelický, and asked him what his plans were for this area, and President told us that he thinks it would be a good idea if we had some type of office here to teach in and to do english in and stuff. So today, actually just about 30 minutes ago, President called and told us that tomorrow morning we'll be meeting a real estate guy who will show us a place, and President told us that we are to to look at it, and then we are to decide if it is the right office for us. We'll see what happens tomorrow. :) Church yesterday was great, Elder Jensen and I were able to teach Priesthood, and we taught about Daughters of God from the Teachings of the Prophets Gordon B Hinkley. We have some really cool members, and there is a family here who has three kids, and all of the kids have red hair like their mom. The whole family gave talks yesterday, it was wonderful, and the members alone brought two investigators to church... There is a girl who goes to school here, but she lives in Slovakia, and she has been meeting with the missionaries here for just a few weeks, and she already talks and acts like she's a member here, and she already reffers to everyone as Brother and Sister so-and-so. Prostějov is really really pretty, and the bells chime three times ever 15 minutes, and it sounds really cool. It's a small town, and it is cool to see how the Lord has deliberately sent me to several specific places here in the Czech Republic so that I could know very specific people. I just met a sister here who knows some of my favorite members in České Budějovice, and she is origionally from Uherské Hradiště. The Lord sends me where I am supposed to be. I hope and pray that He will help me know that I am supposed to do in this area.
