An interior shot of the castle in Bohunice. It's quite ornate.

I caught these guys after church hanging out by the Relief Society room. The two on the left are our assistants. Elder Roberts is holding his glasses and trying to look very thoughtful.

Elder Bently plays the keyboard for Primary in the Prague branch. Isn't that cute?

The mist was rising over the bridges this morning in the park. We're going on a river boat dinner cruise on this river Wednesday night for our anniversary.

Lest you think all we're doing is touring the country and visiting castles, I'll let Marv write about our schedule; just to give you an idea of what our days are like:

We have the great opportunity/obligation to hold 5 zone conferences each month and to teach and interview about 90 wonderful missionaries. We have 16 branches, spread out from right downstairs to a 14 hour drive which we are trying to get to ASAP. In addition, I meet with each District Presidency monthly as well as the mission Presidency. We have a monthly zone leaders council, transfers and a variety of temple interviews, General authority tours in addition to the PH leadership training meetings, Ellen's auxiliary training efforts as well as the normal paperwork, other meetings and preparations for these other events. It is clearly a full-time labor; but one we love doing.

You guys are really just hanging out in churches and old castles, aren't you? I don't believe this work schedule AT ALL! There is probably Czech ESPN on tv and a pile of crumpled papers in the mission home, even as I write . . . . . ha ha ha ha ha ha

Wow, what a country! Hey, is Elder Bentley from St. George? He looks just like an Elder Bentley from St. George who served in the YSA branch in Tampa for a while. He was a really good missionary. If it's the same Elder Bentley, he's been serving a looong time and had a biiiig transfer.
We love you guys!
