Oh these two! Elder Gagon (on the right) had some foot problems for quite a while. Thankfully, his cast is off, and he's doing great now. But right before he got his cast off, he escorted Elder Barker to the clinic to have an ingrown toenail removed. When they came back, they looked like quite the pair, so I had to take a picture. Elder Barker is doing well now, too.
We were driving along in Jihlava and had to stop and get a picture of this billboard. I don't know who Lubomir is, but it looks like he's in real estate like his long-lost cousin Marvin Slovacek. We loved seeing the diacritical marks above the A and the C. Now we know why our name is pronounced Slow-VA-check, as opposed to SLOW-va-sek. 
We take the office missionaries on a vylet, or small trip, once a transfer. Here they are in one of my favorite cities--Karlovy Vary. It is a beautifully restored city that is populated heavily with Russians. It was is in Karlovy Vary, where they filmed the James Bond movie "Casino Royale", at the Grand Pup Hotel.
From left to right: Elder Gagon, Elder Whiting, Elder Chambers, and Elder Tanner.

I really appreciate the places and the people you show us on your blog. With our son serving with you in a part of the work we have never visited, it's great to see through your travels. Thanks for taking the time to share these with us.

I would appreciate it if you would update your blog more often. It has been a month. I feel tremendously out of the loop and in a desperate need to know what's going on. HELP!
Our son just told us about the blog and we are excited to get more information about the mission. Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi President Slovacek! This is long lost Sestra Gray! You know I've been trying to track down your email forever and finally stumbled across your blog. Makes me miss the Czech Republic so much though! Now all the sisters I served with are home- except Sister Parry! Tell her I say hi and that I think of her often! I would love to get in touch with you- drop me an email at missczechrepublic@gmail.com. As well- I was hoping that maybe you would write me a letter of recommendation for grad school. Shoot me a line! I'll be excited to hear from you!
Love,
Sestra Gray aka Kristy
