Day 2
Ahoy!
Well, it is now day 2 for me here in Prague. I like what I have seen of the city ths far. Today we got up early and ate breakfast at a MEXICAN place across the street... lol... mexican in the Czech Republic. But hey, they had bacon, eggs, ham, breakfast buritos, and toast. I was good. Hey, dad, if you ever order coffee here make sure to order ¨American Coffee¨, otherwise they serve you espresso-which is good and it helps to get you from having jet lag, but still, it´s espresso. Enough cream makes it good.
Anyhow, the rest of our day we spent at ¨Zen,¨ which is short for the title of the ag. school we were at (it was really long and hard to say). Anyhow, we got to talk to ze students and they were all happy to talk to us. Gary was our leader for the week, and he was also the teacher (the teacher did not show up). We managed to have a good time though. Then we went around canvasing the campus to invite students to come to our night meetings at 8pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (a good time to be praying for us)-that´s 2pm your time. A typical conversation went someting like either of these:

- Me: Ahoj! | Them: Caou | Me: Do you speak english? | Them: Yes, a little | Me: (explain night meetings)
- On the rare occasion I would get: Me: Ahoj! | Them: Caou | Me: Do you speak english? | Them: Ano | Me: Caou | Them: Ahoj (I would turn and leave at this point feeling confused as to why they looked confused when I said bye).

Hey was the coffee good as Starbucks? How much did it cost?
Watch what you say to the students !! Sounds confusing!! Praying for you !! DAD :-)
Glad to see you are safe and having a good time...haha I could have warned you about the "espessso thing" My mom said she about had a hay-day everytime she would end up with that rather than coffee.

Sounds like you are getting the hang of communication there!
I am praying for you today!
1Cor. 15:58 says, 'Therefore, my beloved brethren,(son) :) be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.' (Mom's translation)- Hangeth thou in there Bubba, what you are doing for the Lord is cool! God's translation is better!
Love ya, Mom
That's great. Sound like you're having lots of fun with the language ;)
