Dobri den!

That means "good afternoon" which is probably the only thing I can say correctly in Czech =]
We are now on our fourth night in the Czech republic and loving every minute of it! The beautiful castles, old architecture, rolling green hills, wild poppies, cheap food =)
[Although it is raining here in the tiny town of Cesky Krumlov but we get free internet, so hey!]

Our first two nights in Praha (Prague) were spent with Jen Nolin, a lady I met through her parents who work at my school whom I met while searching for someone who knew whether I needed a visa to visit the Czech Republic or not! haha. So it was really kind of her to let us stay with her without even meeting us! But that is one reason why I love being a part of the Body of Christ. All family. And we even got to help out at her school for a few hours. (She's a grade 2 teacher at an international school). It was so much fun meeting kids from all over the world and helping them colour and cut out fish and being stung by the crepe paper "tentacles"!!! It was a nice change from all the sight seeing and historical information that I feel obligated to absorb as much as possible while traveling the old and culturally rich European landscapes! But one gets a little exhausted of all the incredible sights and sounds and information. (Although the acoustics were AMAZING in "the oldest church in Prague" where we listened to performances of Ave Maria and Mozart and Vivaldi etc)

But I must say thank you to whoever taught me that ping pong game where you hit the ball, drop the paddle and run around to the other side of the table-you know what I'm talking about? Anyways for our last night in Prague, staying at our hostel, it was a hilarious alternative of laughter and ridiculous fun getting to know people-we had about ten people going -while everyone else was out on a pub crawl. But seriously. So much fun. Although I had to humbly explain that I had not invented the game but everyone loved it, so cheers!

Oh and get this. Checking in, we realized that I had not booked two beds in an eight bed dorm, but no, the entire eight bed dorm. AGHHHHHH with no possibility of cancellation!!! I was about to cry. But then I realized it was still only about 40 Euros altogether and we had our own private shower and toilet so it wasn't all that bad. And of course God had a reason. Let's just say that it opened up a door to help out our awesome friend Leigh (who was previously staying in a room with all guys haha fun, but smelly) and share scripture and pray with someone who actually really appreciated it. And now she has a bible and open eyes and I'm excited to hear about how God is going to use her in the rest of her travels!
"God, if you want me to read this story to her then make her cough or something so I know she's still awake"
"cough"
"...fiiiine"
