Wednesday we were in the middle of District Meeting, when Elder Bushnell, one of the HK elders, got a phone call. HE's going to the office! I was so proud. He'll have my old job, office manager. He's a great kid. WE also started an exchange together. WE had a blast. WE got tto teach a few people, but we hada real miracle that ngiht. We had just taught our second English class, and were contacting home to eat dinner, when we decided to do a couple of rounds around the apartments and then call it a day. As we came around to go inside, I wanted to go around to corner real quick and see if anyone was there. There were two college age girls on the path. That is a scary thing for me. I don't do well contacting those kind. But we went for it, had a great contact with them, Jana and Krystina, and set up for the next day! It was awesome.

Thursday morning we started off with a lesson with our Russian investigator Alexandr. He's such a great guy. I love him tons, really I do. Then Elder Bushnell and I taught a decent lesson to Jana and Krystina, then wrapped up the exchange and sent him off to Prague! WE also taugh ludek again, and it went pretty well. He still isn't willing to sacrifice things to get an answer.

Friday we were in a three way companionship. Elder Bushnell's comp, Elder Stradling, was companion-less, so we were running two areas. We taught the Pavlicovi, and Alexander agian. It was a great lesson. He has been really searching lately, because his wife just died a few months ago, and feels like this is probably what he's searching for. He's a great guy. so we taught those to and soem other lessons but I can't remember who haha. I don't have my old planner in front of me. But we also taught a couple in Hk for Elder Stradling's area. They also went well.

SAturday we taught the fam again, and did some service at Simona and Jarda's. They live in not a great place. They don't have electricity or running water, just very meager living conditions. It's sad. WE did get to meet their kids though, and hopefully we'll start teaching them this week. They're cool, normal, 17 and 13, Lukas and Lucie. WE also got transfer calls, I'm still here in Pardubice, with Elder Stimpson! My first ever district leader! WE are pumped. We are going to have a blast.

Sunday was nice, we sang in sacrament meeting. Great meetings, great talks, and a new branch mission leader! His name is Vasek, and he's the branch President's son. He's a good kid, waiting on a mission call.

(Taylor loves his mission president! He'll be sad to see him go in July.)
