Hello my friends!! I hope this update finds you all well and blessed! It's been nearly a full week since we arrived in the Czech Republic and it is feeling more and more like home. It's funny, when we headed home to the States after the Spring tour there was a level of comfort of being here that we had adjusted to. Luckily, coming back it has been unusually easy to jump right back into the flow of things!!
We spent the first half of the week at Hotel Malenovice(which J.V. owns) rehearsing for tour, going to a number of meetings for cultural training and pre-tour preparations.
We were lucky enough to get to have breakfast at the Patty's on Wed morning!! FYI, breakfast also came served with a Bible study held by mister Dave Patty himself!! Dave Patty is the man who first started Josiah Venture back in 1993. After our time spent in Malenovice we came back to our flat in Csesky Tsesin and have been having band practice for the past couple days in nearby city called Trinets. Funny story, our practices in Trinets have been underground in an old bomb shelter(see pic below) turned club/music venue....go figure. Tomorrow(Saturday)we have our last band practice in Havijov and then Sunday we hit the road and "officially" start the tour in Opava! Goodness gracious....words fail me. I am in awe of all that the Lord is doing and how He chooses to use fools. Truly He uses the foolish things of this world. If you ever have any doubts of this...don't worry!! I am a perfect example. It doesn't get much more foolish then this crazy mexican/musician/missionary!! Yet, here I am in Eastern Europe playing rock'n'roll while sharing the Gospel with the youth! Thank you Jesus!!
