Connor had a Primary activity today and it was my day off (really I was not feeling well,) so Danny took Connor into Prague to meet up at the church and they had a great day.
The kids put together scripture power bags, made pizzas, learned the apostles’ names and had a fun time. Danny enjoyed watching the Czech and English kids play, mingle, and communicate together. I take Connor to a Czech play group while Danny is in school, so I get to see this more than Danny does.
In primary Connor is learning how to sing “follow the prophet” in Czech. One Sunday Connor was getting frustrated and said, “I don’t want to sing in Czech any more,” so one of the teachers came over and was sitting by him to try and help him along and encourage him to sing. The teacher told him, “let’s keep practicing, then you can sing it for your dad and he will be so proud of you”. Connor thought about it for a while, then agreed and started singing again. Soon after he stopped singing and turned to the teacher and said, “well it doesn’t matter if I sing it to my Dad because he does not understand Czech either.”
The Czech and English teachers started laughing, they thought it was pretty funny. They also told me this one. One of the first Sundays that we got there it was Juliana’s birthday (one of Connor’s friends). In primary they were trying to guess who’s birthday it was here is what happened:
Teacher: Someones birthday was last week, can we guess who’s it was? This person has long brown hair.
Connor: (Hand up in air) I know!
Teacher: You do?? Already?
Connor: Yes, Jesus!
I guess with all the snow around here Connor thought it was Christmas time, again!!
Love you all-Andrea
