Last Weekend in Prague

Saturday was very busy. We have made a new friendship with a couple who live on the first floor of our apartment building. The wife went to Plymouth State, can you believe it! Her mother is here to help her with their baby who has had life threatening illnesses, and her father is coming this week, as well as the husband's mother from England. So they are all going to stay in our apartment on the 5th floor. They came up on Saturday to be given a tour, and shown how everything works. Everything I wish someone had shown me!!!

Then the Christian International School of Prague put on the play, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever at a theatre up the street, so we went and met the parents of our students. They all did a great job in the pageant. It was funny and poignant.

Then back home because the 6 couples who serve under IICS came to our apartment for dinner and a meeting. We ordered sandwiches so didn't have to cook. We had a really nice time together, and will miss each other. Three of the six couples are going home to the USA this month.

Today I graded student papers and workbooks for 3 hours, and them began packing, fitting in a meeting with a student as well (she brought me a bottle of wine and chocolates). The initial packing is done, but we will have to redistribute based on weight. We are all a little tense, but doing well.

Lloyd and Lance went to PCFE film school and Lance gave Lloyd a tour, saying good bye to students and professors.

We leave our apartment at 5:00 A.M. (11:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time) by van. Lloyd has a 3-hour wait in the airport for his flight, but Lance and I will head to Frankfurt and then on to Boston, catching a bus from Boston to Manchester where Loralee and Aaron will pick us up, Lord willing and the creek don't rise.

Thank you for your prayers and support. We couldn't do it without you.
