So it's been a crazy week this week. Opening up an area is definitely not the easiest thing. It's been good though. Elder Odell and I have hit the pavement talking with people and we've already seen some cool things! We talked with a ton of people this week and have about 10 potential investigators! We have 3 lessons set up for Wednesday and we're really excited about that!
We met this one guy who seems super interested. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he committed to read and pray about it! It was really cool. From the moment we started talking to him he kept getting more and more excited. We'll try to meet with him this week again and see how that goes.
We have 11 missionaries here in Brno. 7 Elders (one is finishing his mission in the middle of the transfer), and 2 sisters and a senior couple. It is really cool to have so many missionaries here, and we see each other every so often on the streets.
On Sunday, we had district conference (Stake Conference) so we didn't get to see how many people are normally in the branch. Brno has the second biggest branch though I think (behind Prague) and it has a church building! It is big enough to be a ward, but there aren't enough wards for a stake, so it's still a branch. It's cool though, everyone seems really nice.
We had an opportunity to do service for an older lady in the branch painting a room in her house and it was really cool. We got to meet a few members that way.

Brno is a really cool city though. It is super beautiful and is just really awesome! Plus there aren't a lot of tourists like there are in Prague, so it's nicer to go around talking to people. Brno is just way cool though.
Elder Odell is great! He already knows Czech pretty well so there's not the problem of me talking too much. We understand about the same so that's good. He really likes things clean though, so he's always cleaning.
Funny story, we were telling this guy the first vision in Czech, and I forgot a word so then all of a sudden, Elder Odell continues on with it. Then he forgot the last part, so I finished it. It was pretty funny.
Well, I hope everyone has a great week, and I can't wait to hear from you all next week! Hope I have some good things to report! Love you all!
