i have no idea what order these pictures are in, but we can try to figure them out :-)so i'll go according to what i see. at the top is melissa and amanda, my girl teammates. they're in our shower-sink room that we had when we were staying in Pardubice. not complaining - the place we stayed at in Val Mez had half a shower door.
the next one is keith, helena, amanda, and i at the castle in Pardubice. our team leaders had to go get visas, so we had the day off and my friend helena met us. it was a good day! the next picture is a group from Bohumin with melissa - they're awesome! martin, michal, and kamil. cool kids! the next two are from the hillsong concert...raised hands, and from running up to the front with the girls...even though we weren't supposed to take pictures!
next is a team picture even though we're all sweaty. in the back is keith, jerry and amanda, and then me and melissa. i love these guys which is good since we're together almost 24/7 - my new family!
the next is amanda, me and keith doing an emo pose outside the castle, even though keith looks more like a little boy sulking.
next is vlastik's wedding - that's them dancing with an apple between their foreheads. and then my boys and me posing like models (almost)...vojta, honza, pepa, and uhlik. love them.
and the last is my team with silva from pardubice and petra, a teacher at one of the schools we went into, and then another random teacher.
so thanks for all your prayers and comments. this last week in val mez was great, we actually got to go into 2 different schools on friday and there are 5 students signed up with 4 more that we know are interested! we're still praying for 25, but 9 in one week is pretty good.
we're in malenovice this week so i'll have internet the whole time. yay! american teams start arriving tomorrow, so we have a wonderful day off. i'm going to tesco to buy supplies :-)

nice serie of pics
Hey M! I miss you! I miss the whole nun gang! I'll be praying for you.............:)
Red,
Today I got caught up with your posts and had a similar reaction to what Kimberly posted. However, I do have queit here at work and have had a breif amount of time to ponder what you've written.
It's amazing and encouraging to hear from you while you are in the "mission field". I use quotations because we are all in the mission field, though we rarely acknowledge it. I can slightly imagine how difficult the language barrier is for you. I remember being in Europe and getting off at Paris and feeling so overwhelmed because I had no knowledge of the language. However, ministry is even harder when you cannot communicate. I am thankful this seems to have gotten slightly better for you and will uplift you in prayer for that, among your other prayer requests.
I miss you my friend. I truly do. Know you are loved and in my prayers. I am proud of the work you are doing for Christ.
May God bless you always,
Leah
Andrea,
Thank you for posting all those pictures so I can visualize what and who you're talking about! I've been thinking about you even more than usual in the past couple of days because I have been cleaning out my room and donating some things, and I set aside a couple small bags of clothing (mostly for the bottom half) that I have er... grown out of that I thought you might like to try on to see if you can add to your wardrobe.
I'm praying for you and missing you more than I thought I would. I'm so glad to hear things are going well. PTL! I can't wait to talk.
