On the way to the annual service project sponsored by the Wallace Toronto Foundation, we stopped to see the Cesky Sternberk castle. It always amazes me that we can be in the middle of nowhere, and a castle will appear on the horizon. This country really is a land of fairy tales.
This is where we spent the better part of the day on the Toronto Service Project--in the garden. In this picture, I think President Slovacek is teaching us which weeds to look for. It felt good to be in contact with soil again. (I love gardening!)
Most of the missionaries from Prague and surrounding areas participated in the service project. While we weeded the gardens, these missionaries were busy scraping and painting the fence that went around the perimeter of the property. By the end of the day, I think more paint went on them than the fence; but the work got done, and they had a good time.
I found a kitten and put it in the pocket of my sweatshirt. I thought it was really cute, until someone pointed out to me that it had a tick behind its left ear. I put the cute little kitten down, very quickly. By the way, it was REALLY cold that day! I had to wear gloves, and it's only September. Not a good sign of things to come, I'm afraid.
