SHOULD WE STAY OR SHOULD WE GO?
While we have felt the call to come to the Czech Republic for some time now, one reason for this trip was to not only for the practical reasons of looking for housing, schools, day-to-day needs, etc., but also to see if we still felt this is truly where God is calling us. Of course, our trip did not begin great as we did not have any luggage, the person who was to meet us with the rental car was not at the airport, our credit cards did not work, and nobody seemed to understand English. In spite of this, everything worked out great and we feel God used these trials to make us stronger, and it confirmed to us that we could cope and not panic, but really just laugh and have fun with these situations. We have found it is not so difficult to live here – we know enough Czech that we can get by in the shops and restaurants, and we have met soooo many nice people here (unlike the stereotypical unfriendly rude Czechs).
We have been curious about how best we could fit in with the OM team. After meeting with the Field Director, Pavel, and the Team Leader, James, we were really encouraged by what they think we would be best at. For Me (Danny), they would like to start a Business English language class for business professionals. There is a huge need for it here, as the Czech Republic joined the European Union last year and many businessmen must know English if they are to work effectively in this society. Krista’s main purpose would be making sure we all make the transition to CZ life smoothly, and also teaching English to high school age students. We did not ask for these positions – but we are really excited because they are perfect fits for our talents and abilities. Really we cannot think of a better fit for us.
So should we stay or should we go? It already feels like home to us here. Really we can’t wait until we are fully supported and can make the arrangements to come serve the Czech people.
