For everyone who felt sorry for us having to eat KFC for Thanksgiving, don't! We had a complete "feast" with turkey and all the fixins' at the mission home with the Slovaceks, their daughter: Heidi and wonderful American friend: Casey and the Alsops. Heidi checked out a website for Expats in the Czech Republic and found the last turkey in Prague! It was a delicious and delightful dinner. We then arrived home to see and talk to all our family gathered at the Christensens for dinner. Much to be thankful for.
Lunch with the two Prague districts. This was transfer week and we lost six of our missionaries: two sisters went home and 4 Elders were transferred. We were sad to see them go, but we sure have some great replacements!!
After sunset on December 5th. St Mikulas (Nicholas) accompanied by an angel and the devil wander the town squares bringing small gifts and goodies to the children. The children must recite a poem or sing a song (right up my alley) and say if they have been good in school and at home before they are given their treats.
We observed a small boy reciting his poem with tears streaming down his face, poor little guy!! But he was rewarded with two bags of treats!!!
This guy scared me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elder Waldo found a much nicer looking group..........
so did I.

for all you people who think it is very restricting (1 p-day, no t.v., no phone calls, bed by 10 pm) to be on a mission- step forward... not so fast there Elder and Sis Robbins. Love the updates and the new way to bribe my kids for x-mas:)!
ReplyDeleteSanta, an Angel and a Devil? Nice combination. I would cry reciting my poem too.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's that about Vegas I see on the wall in one of your pictures? You really are in Prague, aren't you? Because if you really are just a couple hours south of us, I want to know.
Your mission seems very entertaining so far. Thanks for the updates.
It's a good thing we didn't have that tradition; singing for candy? Matt and I would have been hosed growing up, no candy for us. (Except when Matt imitated the lion on the Wizard of Oz, Matt does a pretty good performance.)
ReplyDeleteI don't like that spooky devil!
