Draha rodino,

It's been a nice week. We've been way busy as usual, but that's the way it's supposed to be. It's great that you received that Email. A group of us were eating at my favorite restaurant and two members from Utah saw us and took our picture! There is always a possibility of running into members of the church in Prague. it's happened to me on several occasions. I have no special requests, except for maybe emails from my sisters. They struck out this week.

Monday! Monday as usual was very busy. Came into the office early to prepare of the statistical reports. After office meeting we taught Viktor about missionary work. It went really well! He loves everything we teach and makes great progress. We also taught Veronika, and Ary later in the day. They were both really good lessons. Veronika to this point has kind of had the attitude of "there's no way I can believe, I'm too set in my ways" but she told us this past lesson that she really wants to understand our message. She's a great girl, and we're excited about her potential. Ary as always is doing great. We taught him the 10 commandments with a focus on the Sabbath Day. He's awesome. Whenever we teach a commandment and it is a little different than his current lifestyle, he just says, hmmm, than talks himself through it, and then says, "yeah, yeah I can do that, no problem." He is the greatest.

On Tuesday we also came in early because we had new district leader training. It went really well. Elder Sewell and I both did individual trainings; he on district meeting, I on exchanges. After we finished the training we had a meeting wth President and a lesson with Phuc, the Vietnamese member. 

Wednesday we had a district meeting, it went really well. Elder Howell is a good district leader, I really enjoy his district meetings. We taught Michal later, he's also doing really well. He's really excited for baptism. We had a nice call session, set up some meetings and did some work on a project about RCLAs for one of the District presidencies here, then taught the most frustrating lesson of all tiem. Do you remember that Ukrainian girl I told you about a couple weeks ago, the golden miracle turned sour? We had a lesson with her again, and she definitely read some anti stuff online and that's why she has lost interest, and she refused to tell us what she heard so that we could talk it out. She jsut told us, "I really like you, and how I feel when I'm here, but I will never join your church." We taught a solid solid Restoration lesson, asked her what it means if the Book of Mormon is true, and she said, "this church is the only true church." And then told us again that there is no point in meeting anymore. Ahhhh. Someday.

Thursday had a good singing display. We found some way cool folks, including a guy who is going to turn over to us the direction of his Bible study group once he leaves for England to work for a couple weeks. We also met a cool kid named Lukas later, he's a nonbeliever and a little wary of religion. we met with Otakar as well. It was okay, he's a great guy and is progressing well, he just has some strange ideas. But, he's coming along. we visited the pavlicovi afterwards, then came back and had a good lesson with Michal in the evening.

Friday we had weekly planning, and the annual pumpkin carving, as well as a few lessons. We taught a way cool Slovak girl with Sister Munro, Ary, and also another one of Isabel's friends! She's an amazing missionary. Ary taught wtih us, even though he's not a memmber yet. This girl, Cristina, doesn't speak much English or Czech, just Portuguese, so Ary translated for us. It was good though, she really wants to meet with us. Elder Osterloh, the AP before me, walked into the pumpkin carving part way through with his parents and brother! We knew he was coming to visit, but it was fun to see him. They'll be touring Prague a bit, then they'll come to church on sunday.

And today! Not much on plan today. We'll teach a few lessons, then play some soccer.

Love you all, you're the best.

Elder Knapp
