The Most Snow I've Ever Seen
We joined some of our ministry partners just 2 hours north of the city this weekend for some fellowship and skiing. There was a TON of snow. In fact, it snowed every night so we woke up to fresh snowfall every morning. And because it was freezing, we hung out by the wood burning stove every night to thaw out.
Here's Matt and Whitney (our university intern) and me eating an apple.
And here I am scaring this poor girl to death in one of our name games. I got it right, though.
More name games.
Ping pong.
And here's a foggy shot from a little restaurant at the top of a mountain (in Klinovec). My camera was so cold from being outside that it completely fogged up when we got into the warm restaurant.
More name games.
Matt and me (eating again).
Yummy breakfast.
The students gearing up for skiing.
Matt had a little trouble getting his snowboard on. There was something wrong with the binding but, never fear, Adam (buddy from Southwestern) was there to help out.
Posing before his first attempt.
Still working on the binding...
Still working...
Still working...
And finally! Headed up!
Meanwhile, I climbed a very small pile of snow. And felt accomplished.
The view from our bedroom window.
The view from the lift.
Matt's first run down.
Taking a break. Look at all that snow!
Pretty slope.
Pretty snow.
Me and Whitney.
Lunch. We're all still bundled up because this was little more than a a garage under the ski lift. No heat. But clean toilets.
Matt's awesome beanie hair and mid-chew pose.
2 Days til Baby Gender Day!!!!

Our First Ever Poll
In about two weeks we have our doctor visit to find out the gender of the baby growing in my belly. Matt is beside himself with excitement because we all know he can't wait for surprises. So I've created a poll to see what y'all think we'll be having in early August. Cast your votes to the right! For more detailed updates on the baby, check out his/her own personal blog here.

Ebenezer
The past two weeks have been pretty busy for us. It feels like we just stopped running. And now I have a cold. Yuck. Anyway, 2 weekends ago, we had a conference for those of us who have been in Central Eastern Europe for about a year. It's called Ebenezer in reference to 1 Samuel 7:3-14 in recognizing that God has brought us 'thus far'. It was a great time to reflect on how faithful God has been in the last 12 months especially through some of the rough times. It was also a great time to hang out with friends from training and eat at some of our favorite restaurants here in Prague. Matt and I were a little sad we didn't get to travel anywhere new since the conference was in our city but at the same time, it was great to sleep in our own bed every night.
Yes, I am eating Pop Tarts. The volunteers brought us a huge trunk of American goodies and Matt and I scored some Pop Tarts and Hungry Jack pancake mix - yummy!
Here we are eating with our buddies Andy and Kaye. They are actually a part of Western Europe but in March our regions will be merging so hopefully we'll see them more often!
In other news, we head out again later this week for a student ski retreat near the Czech/German border. Hopefully, there will be snow for everyone (except me!) to enjoy the skiing or snowboarding. Matt is going to attempt snowboarding for the first time so there should be some great pictures coming up soon. We're also excited that we've been given permission as well as a room to have an International Bible Study at one of the dorms at the Czech Technical University. It's an area we've had our eye on for a while because it's one of the few schools around here with an actual campus instead of random buildings scattered throughout the city like Charles University. It's a great opportunity to reach a lot of students (about 15,000) who are concentrated in one area of town so we're really thankful.
Up next: adventures in skiing!
