I think we'll start today out with a poem ( Week 20 in Prague, Week 80 in Czech )



"It's easy enough to be pleasant
when everything goes like a song
but the man who's worthwhile
is the man who can smile
when everything goes dead wrong."  Author Unkown

Just another old day in the Office
With Elders and sisters around
But something was up
When the strange man showed up
Who's stuff had been lost but not found

"Where are my things?" cried the stranger
"I left them here minutes ago?
And they're gone like a flash!
Who ran off with my stash?
I guess I'll go break a window."

The next monring they shaved and they showered
'Round the corner they turned, and a gleam:
Where 6 panes had been
Oh, to their chagrin
There were rocks and sharp shards to be seen.

"Go figure" they said to each other
"President's gone for all of this week."
So they called a glass shop
And they grabbed the floormop
And a broom to make it all neat.

Then that night there were two members baptized
A slovak and an Elderly man
Despite all their peers
And the usual fears
They both came up joyful with tears

The Missionaries still performed miracles,
And slovakia with new fire was in.
Although he shoots sharp
With a fiery dart,
The adversary still will not win.

So the moral of all is simple:
When you've got a tough day that goes long
Choose grin over grim
You're still sure to win
If you turn a dead wrong into song.
