Week 104: Will age

Hey everyone! I appreciate the responses I've been getting to my emails. I admit it's a bit of a hassle to write every week, but it is a good feeling to know someone's reading and enjoying. So thank you. I only have a few more of these, anyway. 

The elders from Žilina came down for an exchange here in Bystrica. Elder Rice, currently serving in Žilina, told me about some success they had in offering help with teaching English at a private school; they were introduced to a lot of people who then bombarded them with questions about their missions, the church, and so forth. So as part of our exchange, we looked online for some private English schools. Lo and behold, we found a school that teaches many languages, which would have a free introductory class for English and German just that evening.

"Wanna go?" Elder Rice asked. We decided that it would be fun to sprechen some Deutsch, get to know the students and teacher and offer help. We signed up.

During the class, we didn't say that we were from America. We just participated normally and with ease.

"Is Bratislava a willage?" the instructor asked Elder Rice. 

"No," answered Elder Rice, "Bratislava is not a vvvillage. It's a city." We felt pretty confident and smart until they switched over to German. Then we got wrecked.
