We're Home!

Well, we made it home just fine from our trip to the Czech Republic! And what a trip it was!!! There are so many things to share!

But not today. Sorry to everyone who was expecting an update!

We are still processing and adjusting to the time change! We will post updates, I promise!

But for now, just know that we had a great time! We are so thankful to all of you who supported us and prayed for us! The trip was awesome!

Love,
Danielle

Daily CZECH Up-the end

This is it. Our final post before we depart for the Czech. In just a few short days we will be on our way. A day filled planes, trains, and yes, automobiles. A bus to be exact.

So much to do in just a few short days. Packing. Cleaning. Laundry. Loading my favorite music onto my ipod.

Not to mention praying. We want to take time the next couple of days to really pray for our time on this trip. We were told that the camp will be smaller than planned. This could be a really good thing. We are trying not to be discouraged! Please pray with us as we are coming into our final preparations.

As far as finances go! We are only about 1600 short of our goal! Thank you so much!!!! We are so thankful! I cannot even express the gratitude we feel not only for the support we have received financially, but the prayers as well.

Well, this is it. I am signing off. Next time you hear from us on here will be a report of our trip! We cannot WAIT to see what the Lord is going to do!

Daily CZECH Up-prayer update

Here is an email I got from Daniel about the two girls who were in the accident.

Thank you for praying!

Thank you to all of you for your encouraging notes considering the two young girls Esther and Simona whom we wrote you about earlier this week.

Today we were able to go and visit them both in the hospital. Simona took most of the impact in her face, so they have been doing surgeries to reconstruct it. However, she has both of her eyes and it didn't look like she had sustained severe bone damage. Most of the injuries were from glass cutting her face. She was in good spirits though and was even kidding with Kim and I while we were in visiting her. She even said she was so sad that she couldn't go to camp with us. It broke our hearts.

Esther was worse off. From what I understand she was actually pinned down by the bus that they had been riding in. The firemen actually had to cut her out of the bus. Her left arm was totally crushed and they had to put it back together with all kinds of screws and metal parts. Fortunately the rest of very body is relatively intact. She is very bruised everywhere, but no other permanent damage. However, the damage to her arm is bad enough that she will be in the hospital for well over a month. She is still in intensive care, and she was glad to see us today, but spends most of her time sleeping still.

Thanks for your continued prayers for these girls and for their healing. They have a long road still ahead and we want to be there for them.

Also, please pray for God to sustain us as we enter into our first English Camp with our mother church Havirov this week.

We love you all and thank you so much for standing beside us and beside these two wonderful girls.

Daniel
