We made it!
It was a long flight. Didn't sleep. Watched a movie that kept getting interrupted by the pilot on the PA system. Pretty sure I missed the major plot points.
We had a long flight to London, a couple hours of layover, and then a quick flight to Prague. When we arrived in Prague it was pouring rain and it continued throughout Friday evening. After a couple hours on a bus we arrived in Pisek - the small town where our partner church is located.
Being back in Pisek feels amazing. It's strange - driving in the bus in a foreign country, I cannot read any of the street signs or names of shops, but it feels like home. I know this town. I love these people.
A few snapshots from our trip so far...
We had some interesting company in the London-Heathrow airport...
Hey! Happy faces! Been up all night!
Friday night our team went out for an authentic Czech dinner. Only problem was, all the Czech places were packed. So we went to a Greek restaurant. Dave got fish! Poor lil' fishy...
Our hotel for Friday night and Saturday night. I love this place. So cute.
All the streets are cobblestone...
Ancient stone wall that has been around for centuries.
One of the oldest bridges in Europe. About 10 years ago there was a huge flood in Pisek and the waters were so high that they covered everything but the cross of the crucifix on the bridge!
A few prayer requests:
- Please pray for Dave that he continues to feel physically healthy and well. He was battling some allergies last night and was very tired! He is feeling better today, but more prayer will definitely help! In addition to leading discipleship groups in the morning, he will be drumming every morning and night for all the music sets. He will also be in the worship band both this Sunday and next.
- Pray for our leader Eric. He will be preaching tomorrow at Elim Church in Pisek. Pray for effectivenes in teaching and that the translator would translate well!
- Pray for our leader Joel. He has been teaching at the church every night this week and will be leading the morning chapel and evening programs each night at camp. He is an amazing scholar and posesses an incredible amount of Biblical knowledge - pray that he doesn't get burnt out and that his gifts are well-used!
- Pray for me. Sometimes I struggle with cynicsm and doubt. Please pray that God will encourage me so that I can encourage others.
Thank you for your prayers and suport!!! We would not be here without all of our supporters! :)
