the title of this blog is fittingly "if you think logan is cold...welcome to slovakia." those inspired words uttered by kinsey after the opening of my mission call came out in full force this week. we have been experiencing recently what they call here the "siberian frost." it's a weather pattern that occurs about once every forty years and brings a nice wave of freezing air over from russia. now, i want to be clear here--this next part is not a complaint, it is merely a statement of fact. anyway, story time...they had a conference for all of the leadership in the mission in brno this week (district leaders, zone leaders, etc.). since my leadership responsibilities technically aren't responsibilities as far as the mission is concerned, i wasn't invited. so, we worked out a little exchange that put me working in zilina this last friday. my one-day companion and i didn't have much on the plan, so for most of the day we were outside on the square contacting most of the day. it was freezing cold. it wouldn't have been that bad had there not been such a bitter wind the entire day. after a few hours i had the pain in my head that comes to every person who comsumes a "slurpee" too quickly, and yet i hadn't eaten a thing (again--this is a statement of fact, not a complaint). so, i did my best to just think of it as a big adventure; and what an adventure it was. the week, however, wasn't a completely a siberian wasteland. for example, elder smith and i have a new baptismal date. so, although i'm not too excited about winter, there is always something that a missionary in the czech/slovak mission has to be excited about.
