Prague Day 3...


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
