Hey everyone!
So, the big news, transfers. So the first news, I left Hradec Kralove. It was sad, but that's alright. I'll be able to go back after my mission. Second news, I'm in Brno!!!! It's the seconds biggest city in the Czech Republic. It's in Moravia (East half of the Czech Republic). Only been here a few hours but it's such a beautiful city! It's such a great city for missionary work. I also here it's the best city to be in at Christmas time! (Here and Prague) Last big news, I'm blinding in an area and following up training, meaning, I'm opening an area that was temporarily closed, with a companion who has been in the country 2 months less than me. Probably the most nerve wracking experience of my life. Ha, it will work out just fine though. I'm with Elder Odell, who came into the MTC right after my group. He is from Georgia, and more recently Nevada. He is a good guy and speaks Czech just as well if not a better than me which is good. However, neither of us are amazing so we have a lot of learning to do these next 2 months. Things will be just fine though. It's really exciting to be here.
So, this last week in Hradec Kralove. It was a really good week. Our less active member came to church and bore his testimony. That was one of the coolest things ever. He thanked Elder Bracken and I for helping him return to church and build his testimony up again. He is a really cool guy and I'm glad I was able to help him.
Other events of the last week, basically no one was able to meet with us so Elder Bracken and I did a lot of contacting. A LOT, of contacting. One day we seriously did not talk to a single person for more than 30 seconds. It was a lot of fun though. We talked with probably 100 people that day. It was hard work, but it was fulfilling work. We were able to talk to this one guy though who just looked like he had had the worst day. We talked about prayer and finding joy in strengthening our relationship with our Heavenly Father. It seemed to help him out, but that was Monday so we haven't met with him again yet.

So the Halloween Party was really good though. There were 4 families that came in the branch so we had a lot of people! 3 of the families were really big families so there were a lot of kids. It was a lot of fun and they all seemed to enjoy it. It's interesting for them because they don't celebrate Halloween here. It was a good event though.
So, I hope everyone is doing well though, and I hope you all have a great week. There will probably be a lot more to report this next coming week though so it should be exciting! Now we just have to figure out how to get back to our apartment tonight.......
