Tuesday was a good day. We had just finished getting our exchanges finalized. One starting Tuesday night to Wednesday, other missionaries coming Thursday and us going to Nitra to be with those missionaries on Friday when the phone rings and its our lawyer in Slovakia. The new missionaries have to get their visas and it didn't work that morning. She said we need two people to go and wait starting at 8 pm that night.. and stay until 5.. Lets just say the day seemed to go by pretty slow. we had one lesson on plan and before it we went home and suited up, Two pairs of long johns, two pairs of socks, two pairs of gloves, two hats, a winter coat, blanket and some hand warmers. We then went to the building and had the missionaries who we should have been starting an exchange with teach us and then we left for the foreign police. We got there at 7:45 pm and were the first two people. a minute later someone else got there. In thirty minutes we were 4. In three hours about 20 and by 4 in the morning about40. They can usually do between 30 and 40 people a day. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
It was quite the experience. WE came prepared. Elder Mueller and i brought pictures, told stories, we brought a chess board and then started playing chess with people there. Most of them don't speak the greatest Slovak either. Most are from Ukraine, and 4 were from Korea. WE read PMG, and at about 2 when they all started drinking and smoking we kept to ourselves. IT was a long night! The greatest sight was other missionaries showing up at 4:45 and we could switch. WE went home and slept until 9 then started our exchange again. WE had mutual that night and brought our car and did it about cars.
Thursday we had fun exchanges with two missionaries from Zilina. They have been together for almost 4 months and hadn't served outside their area. So we had them come a day early (One of them also had to do some legal things Friday) And worked with them. We actually switched with who we were half way and had a great day. Friday morning we got up and went to NITRA we did a fun finding display. WE took tables and chairs and invited people to learn about us in a minute. We tried lots of fun things and stayed there on an exchange with missions. I was with Elder KAtrnak who is from the Czech republic which was a lot of fun.
Sunday was a great fast Sunday. As a zone we were fasting to find families. We had a great dinner with a family and a good lesson with one deaf member! IT has been a crazy week and now its the last week of the transfer! So well see what happens next week! Hope things are well! Love ya
