my celebration of the new year this time was different than it has ever been before. it consisted of being home at 6pm on the 31st, cooking some halusky for dinner with elder bacon, watching missionary training dvds, and preparing my lesson for priesthood the next day. that's not to say, however, that there weren't a few exciting things here and there. we were able to have lunch at a members house on the 31st. it was there that i ate rabbit for the first time. every missionary has to have some sort of interesting food experience so i was excited to have that one (rabbit tastes pretty darn good just fyi). after that, while we were home, i got to witness a slovak-style celebration of the new year. elder bacon and i watched as a bunch of teenagers lit of fireworks on the lawn out in front of our building. all of the fireworks were stuff that would get you the death penalty if you were in the state of arizona or utah. with that on my mind i slowly became just a little bit jealous. the one time i'm in a place that allows the purchase of bottle rockets i'm living under a system of rules that strictly forbids even thinking about buying them. o well--i guess i could always just move to wyoming...ok maybe dangerous fireworks aren't THAT great. anyway, i'm excited to start up a brand new year. i feel like i made some good progress in 2011 and i'm so excited to see what i and my fellow elders can achieve in 2012. prajem vsetkym stastny novy rok!
s laskou
