Just so you know, I am soooo tired!!! This week was super busy and full of adventures!!
On
Monday, we made Halusky with help from Na (one of the
members here)! It was sooo good and now I have one more recipe! YAY!!
Also Sister Krauel and I went to Al's (Na's little sister) piano
recital. It brought back so many memories of my own recitals. It was
super cute and it also made me miss hearing my favorite pianists
(Allison and Jaclyn! Love you!).
Tuesday was our koncert in
Trencin. We traveled there early to practice and help set up. The
koncert went really well! It was the first lesson in Preach My Gospel
(Restoration). There was a script read by members and missionaries and
of course MUSIC!!
This was the program:
1. God is Our Loving, Heavenly Father-I Am a Child of God (everyone singing accompanied with guitars), A Child's Prayer
2. Gospel Blesses Families-Love is Spoken Here
3. Prophets and Dispensations-Hark All Ye Nations (my district and Tibor, my uke), The Spirit of God
4.
Saviors Earthly Ministry-I Heard Him Come (E. Hammond, S. Krauel and I
sang and S. Kane accompanied us), Savior Redeemer of My Soul (I played
and everyone else sang), Consider the Lilies (Sestry Kane a Belibi
Minya)
5. Joseph Smith-Joseph
Smith's 1st Prayer (the first vision video was muted and we sang
starting with some of the elders soloing! It was sooo good!)
7. Testimony- I Know that My Redeemer Lives (I played and everyone sang)
Then on Wednesday we did
the same thing!! It went really well even though some missionaries were
starting to get sick. Luckily everyone is fine now! One of our members
here, Ba, was our host. He read most of the script and bore his
testimony at the end. It was amazing! He's prepping to leave on a
mission this year so it was good practice! ;)
Thursday was super
exciting because we had exchanges with the sister training leader and
her companion! Sestry Graham and Huggard arrived here in the morning and
then Sister Huggard and I went to Uherške Hradište in the Czech
Republic! I was a Czech missionary for a day!! So much fun. Czech was
different from Slovak but not by too much so I understood a lot of what
was going on, which was good because we taught a few lessons and I
taught advanced English there. The next day Sister Krauel came and got
me and we returned to our beautiful city of Zilina! It was fun to be on
exchanges but I really love being in my own area.
The rest of the week was
normal...busy, busy, busy! The one difference in the weather. IT'S SO
COLD! I'm wearing my fat coat and my thickest scarf and multiple pairs
of socks and tights and leggings!! And I'm still cold! According to our
elders it was negative 10 (in celcius, of course) this past week. I'm
hoping it warms up soon but it will probably be like this for a little
while.
I think that's all I've got for you this week! I love you all so much and wish you a warm week!
Love,
Sestra Whitney Sarah Johnson <3
