Ok since my last post was so great, I figured I would give you a little something else.
So I arrive on Tuesday at 12. I only slept MAYBE 2 hours on the plane rides.. total. As soon as we walked out of baggage claim, we were greeted by our team leaders. About an hour or so after I arrived, we were taken off into our groups of 3-6 people and given the challenge of finding four locations on a map and basically navigating our team around Czech. Our leaders weren’t allowed to help us. We probably had the least competitive team in existence. It was AWESOME. Oh it was also kind of like a photo scavenger hunt too.
A few things and places I saw: Skoda Auto Museum that actually had a car of Hitler’s I think (we didn’t have time to go in), the most beautiful little town called Podebrody, a naked woman, lots of castles, you catch my drift.
So anyway we found out tonight that our team ended up coming in 10th place out of 13. We actually joined forces with the other Slovakia team and a Czech team, reuniting after over 15 years Czechoslovakia. (.. not sure if that’s how you spell it.)
We’re now in Malenovice. All 3 Slovak teams went bowling together to bond and such, we ate french fries and had a great time.
The hotel that we’re in right now is on the side of a mountain over looking a village in the valley. Sunsets here were designed specifically for our worship time in the room that sits at the top of the hill. I’m being taken to a place that I’ve never been before (literally and figuratively), it’s actually really difficult. I think this is going to be an amazing summer, full of that learning.
That’s it for now.. oh I didn’t cry or get injured or make anyone cry during the race. I won’t have a computer for a couple of weeks. But be thinking about me and praying for all of the Interns, we’re learning a lot.
oh and if you’d like to comment, just put in your email I think, I’m not sure what it asks for, but I’m almost positive you don’t need an account.
Love you all and sorry this was scatterbrained.

I have to confess something to you. I looked at the pictures in your facebook last night. Couldn’t help it. I was missing you. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
I love you!
