Festivals and Zone Conferences!










These are all the sister missionaries of the Brno and Olomouc zones. They are fabulous missionaries! We took a week and toured the mission, stopping off at many of the missionaries' apartments for individual interviews. It was fun (and enlightening) to see them in their "natural habitat". We decided to drop in on them more often.














We were so lucky! We had been on the road for a few days, and decided at the last minute to pop in on the sister missionaries in Uherske Hradiste, just for fun. We didn't know the whole town would be out in full force for the Wine Festival! The town square was filled with people in native costume, singing and dancing, and of course, drinking their homemade wine. (They make it from potatoes.) We didn't drink the wine, but loved the caramelized cashews that were roasted over an open fire. It was a gorgeous day in Moravia! The guys on stage reminded me of Chevy Chase in European Vacation. They were great fun to watch.
