Tomas Update: Week 9 in Trenčín

Ahojte všetci! I did it, two in a row. Hopefully this makes for a pattern.  Here’s what happened this week: Tuesday we didn’t do a ton except have two lessons fall through , so a lot of finding that day. Not a whole.ton to say as it wasn’t super successful as usual, but at least both of our bails were nothing personal so it’s okay.  Wednesday we had a great lesson with our boy Kevin and then had our English class, where our student Sylvia told us all about how she got abducted by aliens one time because she thought

Tomas Update: Week 2 in Trenčín

Ahojte všetci! Actuallya very uneventful week as both of us were sick for like most of it, so I don’t have a ton to say.  The biggest thing is we visited a cool town in the south called Nové Zámky with our guy Kevin (it’s where he is from) which was cool to see. There were signs in Hungarian there because it’s so close to the border, and we actually heard a few people speaking Hungarian as well. It was a cool visit.  Besides that we have just been hanging in here, not feeling the best but what can you

Tomas Update: Week 1 in Trenčín

Okay just a quick update about the past week, things have been pretty crazy this week so it’ll just be a small one. Basically I live in Trenčín now!! That’s super exciting because my family lives here and I can help the area my mom grew up in. It’s been really cool to see the city again, and also different because I’m a missionary now. I’m excited to keep working here and getting things going! Highlights of this week include the train driver letting us watch him drive on Monday, and I’d post pictures but he said not to so
