My heart saddens as I read in the local news on internet today about yesterday shooting. I was in shock by the news that there were people that were shot and killed from a local YWAM group in Colorado. It was interesting as I was reading about that because I just got done spending a week with another YWAM group from Germany here in the Czech Republic. What is our world coming to?
I just lift up a prayer to those families that have suffered a great lost. Those that died are now in a better place with the Lord, which doesn't take away the grief or the pain that those families are experiencing at this time. I just pray for those family members who lost someone in this shooting.

Another Week in CZ
It is so hard to believe that it is December already...where is the time going? In a couple of weeks it will be the year 2008...Have you started making your New Year's Resolutions? I can't do that yet. Maybe in a few weeks I will have time to think about it, but right now, no.
A week in Cheb.......
Last week there was a group of people from YWAM organization here in Cheb. They are all stationed in Germany about 7 hours away from Cheb by train. I have meet some of them when they came here a couple of months ago. I had the opportunity to spend time with them and go around Cheb. There was one night a group of YWAM went along the streets of Cheb to pray for every street corner and for this city. It was amazing to be apart of that. To really give this town to God and to pray for the city. Then last Thursday there were two people from this group that came to my class to talk with my students. I think that the class went well. The students were asking questions and the 2 from YWAM asked my students questions. Then I had them split up into partners and it was great. They played games with the students and just talked. I had the opportunity to work with a couple of my students. I think it was good for my students to hear another native speakers voice besides mine. I think that it gave them good practice. They all seemed to like it, at least i hope so. One can only hope!!

One of my friends just got back from Ireland. She gave me a card and I really liked what it said on it....I think that it is a good reminder and it is so true.
St. Patrick Breastplate
Christ with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ below me
Christ within me
Christ at my right hand
Christ at my left hand
Christ in every ear that hears me
Christ in every eye that sees me
Christ in every mouth that speaks of me
Christ in every heart that thinks of me
Christ is with us where ever we go. And think what this card says is so true. Christ wants us to take Him with us wherever we go and include him in our daily lives. As I am teaching to students that have never heard about Christ or may have but don't know about having a relationship with Him. I pray that my students see Christ through me. In my words and in my actions. And I pray for that opportunity to share my faith with my students, especially during this time of Jesus's birth.

Being Hissed At...........
This last Saturday I went to Karlovy Vary(a town that is very close to Cheb about 45 minutes by train) with one of my teammates, Sarah and another English teacher,Nicole,(She is from Canada) from another school. I went there in hopes to get a gift for my sister for Christmas, but I had no luck in finding what I wanted to get her. Despite that I couldn't find what I was looking for I enjoyed hanging out with this new teacher and my teammate. The best part of our trip was when we were on our way back to the train station. I was showing Nicole some pictures from my camera, as I was showing her there were two boys off to the right of us, hissing at us or maybe you could call it whistling(depending on which country you are in). As I took a quick glance at who was making such odd noises towards us, one of the boys wanted to take our photo with my camera. Since I didn't really responded to him, he kept telling me "photo,photo." I must say I have never been hissed at, I definitely have been boo-ed at by someone dressed up as a devil. On a side note... I will see people walking around town dressed up as a devil, angel and St. Nicholas in a couple of days(It is a holiday here). I will tell you more about in my next blog. Back to the other story...we all thought it was quite strange what just took place and we all agreed that we have never been hissed at by guys before and found it very entertaining. A great laugh for all of us....What an interesting experience!!!!
