We went to Prague, Czech to meet a new couple there who is working at a newly developed Center. It is in a beautiful location that was part of the former mission home and there are about 25 young adults attending. The mission President invited 3 other couples to come for the training in hopes of opening additional centers in the Czech Republic.
This last picture is of a pretty amazing situation. The cute Sisters met this Chinese young man who speaks little Czech or English but got him a Chinese B. of M. which he read twice and wanted to know more so the mission Pres. was able to hook him up via SKYPE with a mandarin speaking missionary in England who taught him. He flew to Prague on his way home from his mission and baptized the young man. Really a miracle.
We had a couple of 1/2 days to see Prague, and oh my.....it is so incredible. There is so much history still alive in the buildings, bridges, churches and stories. We could not begin to see it all but loved everything about this old and charming city. (beware of picture overload)
The church only has 5 Branches in the entire country but the missionaries work hard and the members are faithful (Karli could have done wonders here some 10 years ago). But we ran into several young people working in the city who had been exchange students to the U.S., one who joined the church while there. So once again, it was an amazing and culturally rich experience.

thx for the photos, what a beautiful mission you guys are having.
Ahhh, Prague! What might have been! At least someone in our family actually made it there! Of all the places you've been, this one has been MY favorite! It looks absolutely amazing! The architecture, the colorful rooftops, the cobble streets, the bridges! What a beautiful, historical place! Someday, I'll go there too! It's on my list! That restaurant looks really cool too! And the story of the young man from China -- so incredible! The Lord's hands are busy in ALL of His children's lives!
