Thanksgiving Football and St. Mikulas Volleyball

The Prague Zone is in yellow, the Hradec Kralove Zone in Black. The other three zones--Olomouc, Slovakia, and Brno played in Brno. All enjoyed a dinner of Kentucky Fried Chicken and other American foods.
So, for Thanksgiving this year, we issued a challenge to the missionaries to achieve specific goals in finding new investigators, number of investigators attending church, and teaching lessons with members during a 3 week span. If these goals were met, it would be the best 3 week performance in the mission ever on record--as far as we know-- and the missionaries would get to play a football game on Thanksgiving day. The missionaries took up the challenge and shattered the records. We were all very happy.


The following weekend, the church members in Uherske Hradiste hold an annual volleyball tournament on St. Mikulas Vikend. It is a very fun time as members from all over the mission come to compete in volleyball. They take the game very seriously! The local missionaries get to participate in the games if they bring investigators. Below is Sister Anderson who came to play.

We all had a great time, but none so much as the Prague team who took home the trophy for first place. Viktor, the guy holding the trophy, bore his testimony about volleyball in church the next day. He even carried the trophy to the stand with him. It was very sweet.
