Hey all! I am sorry for the delay in posting. I have been super busy with midterms and traveling. Friday our entire group left for Chesky Krumlov. It is a small town about 2 and a half hours away. When we arrived Friday afternoon, we had a couple hours to walk around and do a little shopping. Then at three we had a hour long tour of the castle there. It was so awesome and huge! After the tour we had the rest of Friday and Saturday to do what we wanted. Friday after the tour I went back to our hotel and slept for a couple hours while Nikki was taking an amazing bath in our rooms Huge bath tub. When she was finished I was up and had an amazing bubble bath! Our room was so cute but very small. Plus with us just taking two baths our room was very hot. Nikki and I started to get claustrophobic and I guess sense a little culture shock. We both just had random thoughts and watching the news didn't help. So when we finally went out, we got some dinner and then I went dancing for a little bit with the group. It was not that fun because the place where we were was full of smoke and people drinking. Saturday was so fun. A big group of us went rafting! It was a BLAST! After that we all got dinner and then the bus picked us up and we headed back to Prague. Sunday was so amazing. Nikki, myself and Janet were able to witness a local girls baptism and were invited to say after for what they call "Fat Sunday". In America it is called "Linger Longer". The spirit I felt was so strong and missionaries were so amazing. We ended up staying there for SIX hours! The best six hours ever. Usually in church I am tired and really don't pay to much attention but I was taking notes writing everything down anyone said. Plus I have started reading more at night when reading alone. Being here has really made me realize how much I appreciate my mom and the little things like not having to pay to use a public bathroom. I realize how grateful I am for my amazing friends and what an impact they have on me. Thank you all for everything you do for me. Tonight Nikki and I went to the Book of Mormon class at the church and had a blast. We have really made some good friends with sisters in the ward and the sister missionaries and elders. Well I hope you enjoy. Love you all big! Oh p.s. My camera died our first day there so I didn't get alot of pictures.

That cute little place looks right out of a Harry Potter book! Glad you were able to get some rest and relaxation. Your Church excursion sounds amazing. Fat Sunday..that is priceless. You will have to use that term for the next linger longer Sunday you have.
Have a great Wednesday:-)

I am so glad you have settled in! Its been so good to hear your voice and see you online. I know your upcoming week end experience will be a once in a lifetime experience for you. I spoke to the Bishop and he will take care of everything. Ethan and I really miss you, you bring an amazing energy to our home and your room misses you...Kim called me today..she misses you....she is going to try to stop by.
You are loved and missed and having one great time. I am so grateful you had an amazing Sunday experience. You have been able to witness first hand the power of missionary work.. I saw Jesse Westergards dad....he told me Jesse left today for the MTC in Prove for 3 weeks then he is headed to the Dominican Republic. Jesse told his dad to tell you hi..and you will be hearing from him.
Have a great day ...
Love Mom
