Greetings from Prague

We made it into Prague yesterday afternoon about 3:00 p.m. local time.  The team was pretty tired, myself included.  We were met at the airport by Will and Rachael.  Rachael got us to the Hotel so we could freshen up a bit before heading to dinner.  Dinner was an Italian Restaurant were we agreed as a team to do a style of eating where they bring you endless helpings of every possible type of pasta you can imagine along with different pizza until you tell them to stop.  I can promise you we needed it for our touring today because we put some mileage on our feet! 

Today we started our day out by visiting a Czech International Church.  We had a sweet time of worship and a great message.  We then grabbed a quick sandwich at little place near the church and then we were off to visit the Prague Castle.  If you want to Czech out our touring today you can click on the following link www.hrad.cz/en/    Again we had a missionary couple, Brian and Allie, that were our guides.  We had sweet time with them throughout the day and then went to dinner at a restaurant that served mostly Czech food.

It was wonderful!   We came back to the hotel and had our first team meeting and prayer time.

Things that were eventful among the last two days:

• Our flight out of Atlanta on Friday afternoon was delayed because they could not get the seal vacuum on one of the exit doors to work.  We ended up having to return to the gate just after leaving the gate onto the tarmac.
• Bonnie did not have her luggage checked through to Czech so we had to dress her in a variety of things yesterday.  Her suitcase did come in at 12:30 or so this morning.
• We have been here less than 48 hours and have ridden the tram, bus, subway.  Incredible transportation system here!  You can get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time through these means.
• The streets and sidewalks here are made of cobblestone.  It is interesting to watch the ladies that walk around in high heels.  I told Alley today if that was me I would have broken something and be laid out.

Pray for us as we spend another day tomorrow getting to know some of this area.

Our schedule looks like this:

·         Sightseeing East of the Vlatava
8:30 meet Greg in Hotel lobby
* Old town Square- Clock
Lunch
* Jewish Quarter
* Charles Bridge
* Wenceslas Square

Keep praying for the missionary women and the retreat.  Also, remember one of the ladies named Denise. She has had some health complication and needs our prayers!!

Love you all very much,

His,
