Sorry that it has been so long since our last post, but much has changed.  We moved out of the house in Zelenec at the end of March.  We then moved into another temporary flat (very small, pictures on website) until we could move into our rent house in 2-5 weeks.  We had hoped that the tenants could be out of the house by mid-April, but that was not possible.  So we enjoyed our time of 'coziness' in the flat that was only an 8 minute walk to the school (much better that the 1-1 1/2 hour commute from Zelenec).  We would not be able to move into the rent house until May 1st but we had to be out of the flat by April 28th.  So we packed up our bags and moved in with the pastor, his wife and their 5 children.  An experience that none of us will forget any time soon.  Anyway, May 1st arrived and we had all our possessions transferred to the new house along with a table and some beds that we bought.  We were quite surprised when we arrived that the former tenants were about halfway moved out.  We moved our stuff in as they continued to move stuff out.  As of today, (Friday, May 4th) they have still not finished moving their stuff out and we continue to clean up behind them.  We have beds to sleep in and a table to eat and have truly been blessed by the whole experience.  No, it has not been easy, but the Lord has met all our needs and continues to be faithful to us at every step.  We are excited be in our own house, sleep in our own beds, eat at our own table and break our own dishes.  We haven't been able to say that since August of last year.  Thanks for all your prayers and patience. 

The biggest blessing of all is the news that we will need to keep our stroller and baby bed for an October arrival.  Yes, Robin, Camden, Jared, Easton, Payton, Marek and I will be welcoming a baby SISTER in early October.  We have known for a while about the baby but Dr. Figurova told us last week that she is 99.9% sure that we will be having a girl.  The boys are very excited to have a sister and Payton wants to name her Wonder Woman after the 70s TV show.  (My sister Dana sent Camden some DVDs of Wonder Woman for his birthday and Payton loves the theme song and when she spins around and hopes his new sister can do the same) Dr. Figurova speaks english and Robin really likes her.  Everyone seems to be fine, but Robin is skeptical that it is truly a girl.  Who could blame her?  Can you imagine having 5 older brothers?

Life at CISP is quite good. ( http://www.cisprague.org/ ) We have the privilege of working with a great group of young men and women.  They have a heart of servitude and a commitment to being world changers.  School is dismissed for the summer on June 7th and many of the kids will be heading back to the states as their parents raise support for another time period of service in the Czech Republic.  Remember them in your prayers.  These kids have very little association with American culture and sometimes feel like a 'freak show' traveling from city to city to raise support for their respective ministries.  They get lonely and long to be back with friends who understand what it is like to grow up in a different culture.  I have to admit, I had no idea how tough it can be on the kids, but I have a new appreciation for them and a new commitment to serve them.

We continue to work out the details with the AWANA program to begin next fall.  We are just waiting on paperwork and an opportunity to meet with the Czech AWANA missionaries.  We have some language issues to overcome, but all is progressing well.  We continue to need prayers for the kids, parents, supplies and teachers for a September start date.  If your AWANA program has any extra books, vests, pins, etc. we would appreaciate any and all donations.  We are starting from scratch and have no supplies at this time.  This will be the first english speaking AWANA program in Eastern Europe so all our supplies must come from the states.  Our shipping address is:
