Doug and Suzanne came to Prague on their way to visit Jane and family in Switzerland! We walked and walked,and talked and talked and had alot of fun seeing this beautiful city together.
On Charles Bridge.
Elder Waldo tries to fit into the band!
Along the Vltava.
Eating "Praguers" (apparently Prague claims it was first to come up with the hot dog, not Frankfurt.)
To quote Suzanne: "The BEST hot dog I have ever eaten!"
On Sunday a Robbins' cousin: Mike Stokes was in town. He was in the Czech Republic for business . He came to church and with us for dinner. It was fun to become acquainted with such a nice relative.
Last Monday was our 40th dinner and Family Home Evening. We invited our Branch President and his family to join us. We had a record turn out with 16 young adults (members and investigators) with missionaries and the Pilka Family we had 28! Which brings us to the miracle of Family Home Evening: We never know how many will come. But as Mor, my grandmother said, "If there is room in your heart, there is room in your home". or in our case the Relief Society Room. We fix the food, bless the food and it seems to feed everyone who shows up as long as they aren't too late.
We just reached our one year mark, jeden rok!

We realize:
how fast the time is evaporating,
how little of this language we really know,
how little of this language we really know,
how diligent and faithful the missionaries in this mission are,
how much courage it takes to change your life and prepare to make covenants,
how blessed members of the Church of Jesus Christ truly are,
how much Heavenly Father loves all of us and is aware of the details of our lives,
how much He has blessed us and our family!
We have our running shoes on for the last six months.

Wow--one year. It really seems like yesterday! Elder Waldo really needs to try to fit in a little better with the locals. You really need to do something about him! I am truly happy that this has been a great experience for the two of you.
ReplyDeleteJeden Rok on! Only 6 months left to go.
ReplyDeleteI remember sitting on that very spot eating those very hot dogs talking about kicking pigeons and getting JJ and man purse. I bet your conversation with Uncle Doug and Aunt Suzanne was a bit different though. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a neat quote by Elder Faust. Go hard and then go home!
Look at all those world travelers who come to see you in foreign lands. Can't believe it's been a year. good luck on the home stretch!
ReplyDeleteI just want to say it's time for a new post and more pictures:)
