So....in celebration of the one year anniversary of the church's recognition in Slovakia, all 5 of our branches throughout the nation held a service project. We decided to take a week and participate in all of the projects. This time we took Matthew with us to land a helping hand. We drove 14 hours straight from Prague to Kosice. We were so tired when we finally arrived in the city. We could hardly wait to get to the hotel and unwind, but wait! There was no vacancy in sight! We looked for 3 hours and were ready to sleep in the car, until one nice young man found us a place at a youth hostel. It was kind of sparse and a little creepy, but hey, it was a room with 3 tiny little beds. It was past midnight, so we gladly took it, rejoicing in the fact that we didn't have to sleep in the car after all.
The next morning, we went to the service project. We cleaned a college campus that was pretty disgusting. We worked all morning and got quite a few stares--I think they were envious of our bright yellow tee shirts. They have "Mormon Helping Hands" written on them in Slovak. Yep, we were a pretty good looking lot! (I was the designated photographer so I'm not in most of the pictures.)
