Well, the team was up and ready to go on Monday morning when Greg, our
missionary guide, showed up to take us on our final day of sightseeing before
the retreat. Monday was my favorite day of sightseeing because we got to walk
across the Charles Bridge. I encourage you go to on line and read about the
Charles Bridge.
We also spent our day in Old Town Prague. We went to the
Jewish Quarter, the Old Town Tower, and witnessed the Astronomical Clock on the
hour. You must read up on this online and watch some of the YouTube videos. Incredible
stuff! Just being inside Old Town Prague
is incredible all by itself.
We had lunch at a restaurant the served traditional Czech
food. Some had sausage and buttered potatoes, others soup, salad, some
schnitzel, potato salad, etc. Most would simply say it was different. We
celebrated Penny’s (one of our team members) Birthday by ordering her a slice
of cake which we helped eat! She
celebrated by buying herself a gift. I will wait until she has had time to tell
her husband before I share it with you! Ha,ha,ha
Deb and I met with Eva our hotel contact for the conference
room setup this afternoon. She is an
extremely kind young woman. Everything is running on schedule for our time
here. Even the team! Ha,ha,ha
This morning (Tuesday) Will, Rachel’s husband, will take us shopping
for a couple of hours this morning then starting after lunch it is all about
retreat mode for the next 5 days! Pray
for us that as we begin to go through the trunks and sort through the many things
so many of you have touched with your very hands that all will be in good shape
from travel!
I pray that you that give financially, allowed your wives,
daughters, aunts, grandmothers, nieces, to travel with the team, those that
have made gifts, given gifts, prayed, etc. realize that you are ever bit a part
of what is about to go on here for the next 5 days. We are first and foremost
as a team, ambassadors for Christ. We also represent every penny, prayer,
thought, tangible gifts, garage sale, bake sale, opportunity shared, when we
stand before those women tomorrow afternoon for the first time as a team, you
are part of that team! Thank you sooooo
much!
I love you all so much!
His,
Vickie
