ahoj from zilina. sorry the letter this week is a little bit late. yesterday was a holiday here in slovakia, so all of the stores were closed, including the internet cafe. this is the last week of the transfer. we find out where we are going on thursday and on saturday we move. its weird. this last sunday very well could have been my last in zilina. it was weird sort of having to say goodbye to everyone. i really dont want to leave. ive grown to love this city so much, so i would be more than happy to stay at least another transfer. we will find out what happens on thursday i guess, but just as a heads up, it is very possible that i will be writing this letter from a completely different city next week. im going to take a shot in the dark and say that i will be in kosice. anyway, this week was a pretty good one. elder romero and elder walker were able to find a really great woman for our area when they were together on an exchange, so we are really excited about that. we are teaching her later today, so i am excited to meet her and get to know her a little better. we also made a little bit of history this week when elder romero and i went over to the seidl home with alessandro to do some home teaching. we are the first home teachers to ever be in their home, and im sure that we wont be the last. it sounds like a worthless accomplishment, but i really think that is proof that the church is growing here. there are so many things that we have in america as church members that we probably take for granted, and home teachers is definitely one of them. it was so great to see how happy the seidlovci were thanks to our visit. sunday as i said was interesting. i sort of had to say goodbye to all the members because transfers are this week, and they are all out of town this week on a temple trip in frieberg, so that might be the last time i see a few people here from zilina. i also had my last performance as the designated branch musician. elder walker and i sang a duet of abide with me tis even tide to open the meeting, and then later i sang and accompanied myself on to think about Jesus from the primary song book. it was great. anyway, the subject of this email is the slovak phrase for i am sweating. i say that because it has been unbelievably hot this week, and also because i would be lying if i said i wasnt nervous for transfers. everyone is assuming that i am going to train one of the new missionaries. i would be really excited if that were the case, but that would be quite a bit of responsibility, especially for someone who will only be on his third transfer in the country. so, if that does end up being the case, just pray for me extra hard. i hope that everything back at home continues to go well. keep me apprised of everything that goes on. even if you dont think its interesting, i just might. love you and miss you all! have a great week!
čau!
