Area 1 Day 1

Well long time no see am I right?! I guess I'll just give you a recap of the last couple days. So, we traveled on Tuesday by bus for about 4 hours from Preston to Staines. We had some training Tuesday afternoon and then we spent the night in a hotel that night. Wednesday morning we woke up and had some more training. We got put with one of the trainers just for the day, but mine ended up being my actual companion. Like I said his name is Elder Tollestrup and he is from Alburta Canada! He seems pretty cool and normal... So far.

After we got our assignments I said some of the hardest goodbyes I've ever had to say in my life. It actually made my heart ache, but I guess that means they are that good of friends. We then headed for the train station and began the most interesting travel period of my life. We only were about two hours from where we were headed but it took us 7 hours to get there. We missed a train, got on a wrong train, and then they were all delayed due to weather. It's been snowing here and it's cold as balls! All the delay was well worth it because at about 9 at night while we were on our final train we started talking to a man from Slovakia! He loved hearing what we had to talk about! Unfortunately he is headed home soon but he told us that he was going to get into contact with the missionaries when he gets home! It's crazy how Heavenly Father makes things happen!

Our apartment is Better than I expected, but we have to get a new one soon. We have to be out in like 3 weeks so we might just have to spend more money since they haven't found a good one yet which means we would be living large!

So far today we went to town and got a few things and then we went grocery shopping. I think we're gonna walk like 45 minutes to the chapel this afternoon to play some ball. We're also gonna walk back there again tonight for a youth activity, so I can meet some of the youth in the ward!

Other than that there's not much to say considering this is the third time this week! My P day will be Wednesdays from now on! Just wanna tell you again how much I love you guys. You're the best!!!!!

With love,
Elder Hruby
