Williams Family and more Great Food!

I had the pleasure to sit down over breakfast with the Williams family. You Heritage folks will recognize that name as they were Heritage peeps for many years before hitting the mission field in Czech Republic. We had such a great conversation about the challenges and rewards of mission work. Although, many times in our conversation they said they are not spiritual giants but just regular people that said YES. Those three letters many times in my life have haunted me. Saying yes to God always requires a sacrifice. This family has sacrificed much and the rewards are not the rewards many people would sign up for. Many of the words that were exchanged over breakfast today will go into my journal and will encourage me to many years to come. Please join me in praying for Allen, Amy, Toby, Ben, Katie and David as they say yes everyday when most of us say "not today".

I took this picture before breakfast today. This conference center grows many of its fresh produce. It was a beautiful sunny day with a little mist coming off the ground from a cool night and here was this older gentlemen picking lettuce for my lunch. It was one of those hallmark moments that will stick in my mind from this trip.

This afternoon I took the long walk (100yards from my room) to the local cafe. I had a great cappuccino and this orange, cream cheese cake that was, well amazing! All sitting outside in the sun soaking up the foreign culture around me. I had no idea what people were saying but I could see the connections they had with each other, two friends enjoying coffee, an older couple eating some ice cream together and a family of 5 all sitting around a table talking about their day over some pastries.

One more day with the families here and then time to pack up and start the travels back to the states and my family. That has been the one negitive about this trip, my family is not with me. That is something I'm not use to and I do not like.

Thanks for praying for the team.
