Our leaders greeted us with a nice surprise during the weekend, WE WERE GOING TO PRAGUE!! So last monday we loaded up and spent an amazing day in one of my favorite cities in the world
Here were some highlights!
- Found an upside down horse!
- Got some awesome Starbucks
- Went to Old Town Square
- Saw some ART
- Finally got a Czech Jersey
- Indulged Rachael's UK food cravings at Mark's and Spencer's
- Indulged my Mexican food cravings at an authentic mexican place!
- Photo shoot at the Lennon Wall
All and all it was a great day in a great city.
After Prague we went cross country (4 hours on a train) to Cesky Tesin for a work project. Fortunately there were already 2 other Czech JV teams already there we had a great time catching up and swapping stories. It was a friendly reminder that there I myself am just a small part of Josiah Venture and the mission group as a whole! To hear all the stories of Christ is amazing and I loved all their company
We spent 2 days working (or really destroying) a town house in the Czech Hills for a missonary family. The Dicksons opened up their project and their life for us to help out. While sitting up on a roof 20 feet up (my mom would be so happy) I got to hear how the Dickson's got to Czech and their life story. Its been great hearing about all the different missionaries and how everything has added up and been provided for them to serve the Lord. We torn off the roof, took out toliets and tubs, moved bricks, and my favorite - jack hammering their entire driveway. MASCULINITY!
The work project was a good break from our normal routine and do some physical and manual work for Christ!
We are now on the eve of going on our first training for camp! I can't wait to get camp going and start teaching some English and some Good News! I feel we have been prepping and now it is time for our work and all the work of the Czechs to come to life!!!
Prayer Requests: for the whole team (Josh, Jitka, Rachael, Bethany, and myself) for strength and energy! Also that we can focus and remember we are hear for Christ and not for ourselves. This is a blessing so i want to use it for the most!
