Dear friends,

It has been 2 months since we have left Little Rock for the Czech Republic and maybe you would like to know something about our new life here.

The first month was rather hard for both of us. We felt like we did not belong here and the only thing that was connecting us to our country was the language and our family.

We had been looking for a job, a good church, and an apartment. Petr resigned from his first job after two months, then found a new one and started working this week.

We like the church in Pardubice, where we go every time we visit Petr’s grandmother. It is a wonderful feeling to worship God in our own language!

Petr's grandmother made 40 crescents filled with chocolate and grounded poppy seeds first weekend we visited her and was so disappointed when Petr and I did not eat them all. J That actually repeats with a dessert variation every time we come to visit her. Petr’s grandma is very happy to have us backJ.

We have 2 nephews. The older, Matej, is 2,5 years old. The younger, Jakub, is 9 months old. Both of them are wonderful and we enjoy their presence very much. We had the opportunity to baby-sit Jakub for a weekend and we had a great time.

Petr’s sister has had a summer break. She visited us for a weekend and we made a trip to Kutna Hora. There are some pictures attached. She had already returned to Germany and we will not see her till September, when she will come for grandma’s 88th birthday celebration.




As I have already said, the first month was hard but we got use to living over there quickly. It is our country so it is much easier than it was 7 years ago when we came to the USA.

We still do miss our friends in Little Rock and St. Louis, our church, the Bible studies, quietness of Little Rock, some food, Today Show with Matt Lauer J, ….. , On the other hand, even though we wish to see you again, we feel that our place is here in the Czech Republic. J
