Czech-ing In

Greetings everyone,
I have made it here in the Czech republic safe and sound. It was a long flight, with many lay-overs in various airports, a long drive, but my team and i are here in Cheb. It has been good to be back into a town that is familiar to me. There are a lot of things in Cheb that are the same, but then there are some changes as well. The famous Vietemese market place is gone-(.
I am very glad to be back, it seems so natural ,but a little overwhelming at the sametime. I have been trying to pick up the langauge again. I am just amazed on how much i do remember, but i have forgotten a lot too. That is totally the Lord!!!
I have enjoyed taking my new teammates around Cheb and other towns in the west bohemia area. I am excited for this upcoming year. I am looking forward to teaching again and meeting new students.
Not a lot has been going on here in Cheb. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy. There are pictures of my team in Cheb and also in the Czech Republic.
Blessings

At the end of February, one of my former students from the Czech Republic, came to Seattle on his way to Vancouver, BC. I had the opportunity to show him where I was from. I took him to Seattle, Snohomish, Marysville(where I live), and different parts of Everett. I think he got a feel for what America looks like. I enjoyed seeing and spending a short time with my student.

During his stay I took him to the famous Starbucks. I think he was very surprised of all of the different choices of coffee and teas that were available.

I am looking forward to meeting him again in the Czech Republic.
