It's hard to believe we've already finished 3 days of work on the lodge/dining hall - "Marlenka" ... which will be the latest addition to Josiah Venture's conference and training center in Eastern Czech Republic.
We're getting a lot done, and hopefully will finish what we set out to do! Tomorrow is our last work day ... as we're taking a short "field trip" on Friday morning before we travel by train back to Prague in the afternoon.
So, what have we been doing? ... well, take a look!

We've had some additional great conversations with some incredible people! In John Prechel's words ... "some really some magical moments!"
Today, some of Dave's friends from Slovakia drove for 1 1/2 hours one way just to have lunch! These young people have been a part of some of the English Camps we've helped to facilitate in the summer! It's so rewarding to see these young folks pursuing faith and leading others as well!
Then this evening, our carpenter friend, Tomas, stopped by with his 2 year-old son, Tomas Jr! What a treat! He brought us some Czech carpenter pants to take back with us! We're hoping to spend an entire evening with him and his family tomorrow.
Please continue to pray for us and our work of encouragement here! We're working with hands and hearts ... and using words and actions to see His Kingdom come and His will be done in this part of the world!
We'll be working tomorrow and traveling on Friday, but maybe Friday evening we can share one more post with thoughts from our last days serving in Czech Republic

We continue to pray for you and your team, Dave. I have such fond memories of our short term mission to Czech. Let us know next time you come visit the Northwoods, we have a guest bedroom ready and waiting!
So great to see our friends from the summer English camp! What a blessing for them to come and see you!
