We made it!

Well, we made it! After over 24 hours of travel, we are very happy to be here at Malenovice for training!

Thanks so much for your prayers- flights went smoothly and there were no delays. Three bags didn't show up in Prague- but they should arrive tomorrow. And they are all boys' bags- they are good sports!

We arrived at Malenovice very tired... But we were welcomed by a beautiful sunset, a filling meal and reunions with brothers (Colson & Eli) and other friends. 

The next few days will be full of training sessions on teaching English, sharing the Gospel, leading small groups and Czech culture. We appreciate your prayers for energy and alertness during these sessions- and that jet lag would be minimal. Also pray for soft and teachable hearts as we learn from missionaries and Czechs.

We will update again after training is over (Friday)!

Thanks again for your prayers,

Jess (for all!)

And we are off!

Today's the day! 

Everyone got to the airport on time, our bags are checked, we made it through security- so far, so good!

We are headed to Dallas first, then London and then finally Prague.

We appreciate your prayers for safety as we travel, for sleep on the planes, for smooth connections and for all bags to arrive when we reach Prague. :)

ONE WEEK!

Hard to believe it's already here - our team leaves ONE WEEK from today!

The final preparations are underway... English lessons are getting finalized, bags are being packed, it's happening!

Our team of 13 can't wait to get to Czech and reconnect with students and meet new friends! 

Things you can pray for:

-Safety as we travel and for smooth flights (and for all baggage to arrive in Czech!)

-Peace during these final days of preparation and packing

-Spiritual protection now and during the trip

-Czech students who might still be deciding to come to camp!

Stay tuned here for updates - we will try to post as often as we can :)
