We found a really fun restaurant tucked away at the foot of the castle. The lighting is strictly by candlelight, and the food is served with only a knife presented to you, stuck in a loaf of bread; a fork if you are lucky, but never a glass to drink out of. Eating with us are Ed Barner and the Alsops.
In the Czech Republic, you have to be married civilly before you can be sealed in the temple. Last week, we attended a wedding of a young couple who met last year at the YSA conference in Budapest. It was really sweet. They are going to Germany this week to be sealed in the temple.
Elder Anderson and Elder Auger are the zone leaders of the Prague zone. They are awesome missionaries. We love having them in the mission home.
Sunday, November 2, was a national holiday where everyone puts candles on the graves in the cemetaries, to help their deceased loved ones find their path back home to God. It was really beautiful at night.

I need to apologize for not posting in such a long, long time! I will try to do better, even when we are on the road much of the time. A lifetime has happened in the last month, but I didn't take pictures of everything. We had a wonderful women's conference. We had a transfer with new missionaries coming in, and no one going home--my FAVORITE kind of transfer! We have witnessed an absolutely gorgeous fall season, with brilliant red and gold hillsides. We've had many baptisms, a wedding, and Halloween. So, enjoy the few pictures of a marvelous October.
