We are HERE!

So after a full month of training and over a full day of travel, we are here in OSTRAVA, Czech Republic! We left for LAX at 10:30 am Pacific time on Thursday the 20th. It took an hour and half of rearranging and reorganizing, but we got all of our luggage and ourselves checked in. We left on time and flew over 10 hours to Frankfurt, Germany. I sat by a sweet girl and her boyfriend on their way home from their first trip to the US. She wanted to practice her English and let me tell you she was much better than I will ever be at my German. 
Then, we got stuck in customs for a few minutes. We literally had to sprint through the entire airport and ask them to hold the plane so that we could all make it for the flight. Thankfully, they would! Then, we had a short hour flight to Prague. We picked up our baggage. Every single piece made it! YAY! For every teacher on the Czech team which is a major blessing! 
After we picked up our luggage, we met Eva (our boss's sister-in-law) and she took on a bus and two subways with all our luggage so that we could catch the train to Ostrava. The train took about 4 hours to get here. It was a beautiful trip with lots of the countryside, although I'm not gonna lie, I did sleep for most of it. :-) 
Then we arrived and were met by the best welcoming committee you could ask for. While the five of us were concerned with getting our 20 pieces of luggage off the train before it started moving again, 4 people came dashing up to us asking if we were with Fishnet and began grabbing our stuff and helping pull it off the train. They gave us phones, keys, took us to our flats, showed us how to get to our teammates flats, made sure we could get on the internet, directions to church, and they gave us information for the week. It was great! We felt really blessed!
Well, we are here. Our flat is great! Tomorrow, we are going to a little bit more exploring. We are also going to be going to our first Czech church. It will be translated for us into English. I ask that you would pray with us that we would begin to mold into the community that we will be a part of. 

"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:10-12"
