Monday and some more

Monday morning started out with thunderstorms but the sky cleared up by breakfast.

Our English classes went much better because we are becoming more comfortable with the students and they are opening up to us.  Usually from 2:30-5:30pm there is large activity but because it was drizzling (yet sunny at the same time) they postponed the activity and the campers chilled and played some card/board games. Because of that postponement, we (the Americans) got the opportunity to back to our first penzion (hostel) to use their internet. This was great because we got to update our blog, check emails, do some research for our lessons for Tuesday and eat some amazing crepes. (Our waitress called them pancakes) 

As a part of the evening program, each team had to act out something from the book we are reading with them (The Little Prince).  Everyone was very imaginative and we all got to laugh, but it was also a good team building exercise. Gill’s team was great and they got Gill to be front in center in the skit!  After that we had discussions in our groups, and a lot of them were very deep, personal and long.  There are still some people, however, that are a little quieter and we are working on drawing them out.

Pray that we can continue to be an encouragement to the Czech believers here and that as we grow more tired throughout the week we will rely fully on God to give us strength to carry on. 

Continue to pray for unity among the Czech and English leaders.

And pray for protection from spiritual warfare. Its cropping up in many ways = lack of energy, poor health, and lack of communication with expectation and rules. Pray that we deal with everything with wisdom and love.

Thank you so much for your prayers!

P.S. Tuesday’s program (with Ruth, Luice and Rachel) went really well. It was truly the Holy Spirit working, it worked better than we imagined. More about that later. Thanks for your prayers. The schedule has changed. Bob is speaking tonight and Don tomorrow. So be in prayer for them both. And pray for Jackie, she has a cold/cough.
