Hey everyone, it's Monday again!
It's been quite the week this week. First thing is that the Francis', the senior couple here in Brno, unfortunately have to leave back for America today. Elder Francis unfortunately has to go back for a surgery, but they are hopeful and will hopefully be able to return soon and finish the last 6 months of their mission. They are great though and really took care of us as missionaries.
We had quite a few lessons this week which was good. We're not on the streets so much now. When we were contacting though, Elder Odell and I have really improved our contacting, so we set up a ton of lessons for this week so we're really excited for that. While we were contacting, we contacted into a member family which was funny. They talked to us for a little bit then saw them again on Sunday. The mom in her testimony on Sunday mentioned us and how we contacted them when it was really cold outside. It was cool to see that people appreciate our work.
Elder Odell and I have this investigator from Hungary who is really cool though! She is studying here in Brno and we have been able to meet with her several times. She really understands the message we are teaching her and it is such a blessing to teach her. She read the first 12 chapters in the Book of Mormon, didn't understand them, and read them again! That was really cool to hear! It is even more of a blessing that she is so reliable, because she doesn't have a phone. She is way awesome though!

Another really cool story is we talked to this guy who grew up here, moved to Australia for a few years, and is back for Christmas for a month. He is taking care of his parents for this month and he will move back here in a year to take care of his parents for a longer period of time. He told us he doesn't have time to meet this month, but we talked for a bit and he was really interested. He told us he really respects us and the coolest thing was when we left, he told us, "the message got through". That was a really neat thing for me to hear. One day he will be lead to hear the message.
Other than that, just a normal week! Ha, there's no such thing as a normal week as a missionary. Love you all and hope all is going well with everything. Hope baby Desmond is doing well!
