August has been a whirlwind of an adventure. Speaking at churches, a fundraiser meal, lettering mailing, and odd jobs are the main things that I did this past month. I spoke at two churches in Maryland and both were very receptive and excited to here about the Czech Republic.
Last Saturday evening my MST and I held a Czech Fundraiser Meal. The menu consisted of Sauerkraut pancakes, beef goulash, and potato dumplings. It was delicious! I can't wait to try authentic Czech food! My friend Regina shared some of the history of the Czech Republic. I'm enjoying what I have been learning about the Czech Republic. I'm looking forward to learning the whole time I'm there.
My experience of doing odd jobs has been enlightening and enriching. I have mainly worked for one couple in my church. They know a lot about gardening and have kindly shared their knowledge with me. It's been great getting to know them.
Tomorrow is my last day at my job. I leave on Sept. 12th for training up in Pennsylvania. As one door closes another one opens. I'm looking forward to a week of getting things in order and traveling to visit friends. So here's to closing one chapter of my life to begin another!
