After a wonderful night's sleep we had a delicious breakfast (chleb, or Czech brown bread topped with slices of cheese, salami, cucumber and tomato was certainly my favorite!). Marek Susta arrived and took us to visit his workplace, the Prague Psychiatric Center where he does research. This center is a part of Charles University, where I studied the Czech language in 1993. We had a very engaging conversation with Marek and his colleague Petr on the inter-relatedness of psychology
and theology. They gave us a "mini-tour" of the grounds, prefaced by the warning from Marek S ... "I'm gonna show you around a little, stay close if you want to get out!" I as able to snap a picture of the 2 Mareks and Peter "strolling around the grounds" ... hence the title of the blog ... and they did let us out!! We then joined a former colleague of mine, Ritch Trca, for coffee and more conversation about what God is doing in and through our lives. I think it was a very encouraging morning for all of us ... but, there was more to come!During our time with Ritch, Marek Susta received a phone call from one of my dearest Czech pastor
friends, Jiří (George) Hofman. Jiří was the pastor of the Liberec church in Northern Czech Republic; which hosted many construction teams from 1993-1996. This picture of the "tower ceiling" and the cross are projects which God
allowed me to work on. Actually, my Dad, Al, and I built the cross! Ask me to tell you the story of installing the ceiling in the tower!Pastor Hofman and I became very close, and since I had seen him last, his wife had died of cancer. It was a joy to reconnect, and he invited us to come to his apartment just a short ways from Prague and join him for a bowl of soup and more conversation. My Czech was beginning to show signs of hope after a very long lay-off!
Reminiscing and praying with Pastor Hofman was, once again, very encouraging for all of us, but especially for Jiří and I. Bless Markie J's heart for putting up with hours of Czech conversation. If you ask him, he'll probably say that his brain is ready to explode!!
I believe that those of you who are praying that we would be a "Barnabas Team" are having your prayers answered as we move through these days. It seems like the opportunities to encourage are popping up everywhere and we're able to engage in some very worthwhile conversations! Tomorrow we will spend a little more time with Marek, and then take the train to Český Těšín, where we will meet up with Mel Ellenwood and his family. Keep watching for updates, and you can click on the link on the right for more pictures!!
Thanks and blessings,
Dave & Mark

Say 'hi' to all the Sustas!
And please give the Ellenwoods a big hug from us!
2 things coming to my mind as I read your blog, things only a amazingly talented daughter would notice or wonder.
1) Marek wears very trendy jeans.
2) Did you stay z Honzikem?
how very special to see Pastor Hoffman in your picture. He still represents a vision of humility. We do have a special spot in our hearts for him.
Prayers
I'm continually amazed that you can clear the cobwebs out and speak Czech and be understood! What a gift God has given you. The pictures of people I know a love, bring tears to my eyes and your descriptions tell me that you are right where you need to be right now.
Love 'Ya!
D and M,
Great to read up on you two. Praying God will work mightily in and through you both...hurry down to Budapest--can't wait to see you and labor together unto our Lord!
