We heard from Taylor this past Monday. He is getting settled in and beginning the adventure of living in a foreign country. He says:

I found out this week that people really do speak this language. Also
  thatI can't understand it. The weirdest is hearing little kids speak
Czech. These are strange sounds to come out of a child's mouth. Some
things really common here: rollerblading. Everybody rollerblades. Even
oooold people. It's hilarious, but I worry about hips and knees.
Another thing: smoke. Everybody 10 and up, no joke. We saw a kid this
morning no older than 11 smoking. Emily, don't smoke. One older lady
did not breathe in unless she had a cig in her mouth. It's crazy. We
have some things to teach haha.


Even though Taylor is having a hard time understanding the people, the people can understand him, so his Czech must be pretty good. 

His companion is new to the area as well so they are starting fresh, looking for people to teach. Most people are kind and willing to listen, except for the few that say, "You are Americans? Go back to America!"

Taylor says, "The Church is true and that's why I'm here." We look forward to hearing from him again tomorrow1
