hey mom and dad!

i'm in the country now! it's so crazy. i'm so sorry i didn't get to phone you at all in austria, they didn't have any phones and we were in a super big rush. but i'm here and i've been enjoying it so far. and i'd rather use this email, because it's much easier.

anyone who said a mission was easy, was mistaken. it's very hard work, but i'm trying to do as best i can. first day was nice when we met the mission president, his wife, the ap's and a senior couple. the mission home is amazing, it used to be a popular beer house, but it's a little bit nicer as a mission home with a baptistry and a chapel. we went on our prague walk and we saw so many amazing things. the ap's took us on it and other than telling us facts and experiences in prague, they kept saying that we were so lucky to come here at such an amazing time. apparently so far as of 2008 they've already doubled last year's total baptism number. truly amazing. we saw some amazing things, but it was amazingly hot. after seeing the sights we went to a namesti (town square-there's many in every city) and started to contact. it was a little scary at first, but eventually we could actually say some things we wanted to. and my mtc comp and i met this super nice guy who bought us some candy as we held his bike. then we got some awesome food with some fruit dumplings. absolutely amazing. then we went home and went to sleep.
