trains and more trains

Our visit with the youth group from Trebic was fun and so good! They are passionate and kind young people who are playing important roles in theirs schools and community as young Christians  and growing leaders. We spent a couple days with them on a mini-retreat complete with lots of talking, games, songs, and strawberry picking.

This is Annie  (with the camera) and Maria (with the puppy). They are 15 and twins, and we stayed with their family while in Trebic!

We also visited 3 schools and taught 5 English classes in one day! It was an exhausting but very worthwhile experience. The Czech teachers and students were very gracious and excited to have us visit. It definitely gave me a new appreciation for language teachers. 

Our final day in Trebic was Sunday. We attended church and met the kind people there. After saying goodbye, climbing the famous clock tower, and eating some of Czech's best pizza, we hopped on the train again to head to our "home base" in Vysoké Mýto. It is the apartment of JV missionary Autumn, and our home in between visits, camps and training times!

here's the view of Trebic (roughly pronounced trey-beach) from the clock tower: 

We will spend a few days here resting, catching up and planning English lessons for camp. We very quickly have learned of the necessity for good rest as our days are so intensely packed with relational, spiritual and emotional things, as well as being physically draining. I never imagined being tired so quickly! But God is good to give us the gift of rest in the midst of that.


Please pray for our team as we spend this time together re-energizing for the next week of visits and teaching. It should be great!


Blessings!
