Czech: Strakonice Home (Part 3)

As of Monday this week, we arrived in Strakonice, our home for the next few weeks.  Ironically enough however, Josh and I left the next day to accompany Aubree on a trip to Ceske Tesin where she had to take care of some paperwork.  We spent the next 2 nights in Ceske Tesin (us guys at Nate's and Aubree at Lucka's).  At this point, I have traveled across this country 4 times now from one side to the other.  I am now very confident that I could travel to any place in the Czech Republic without too much hassle.  Major props to the czech transit system.

These last 2 days found us in Pisek, spending time at a town festival with youth from nearby cities and youth groups.  It was a great opportunity for us to meet people we will be working with in the coming month of July as well as continue to build friendships with some of the youth we met in Ceske Budejovice last weekend when we went down there to spend time with the youth group located there.  While in Ceske Budejovice, I was able to meet up with some of the people I met 2 years ago.  It was so awesome to be able to see some familiar faces again.  At the Pisek festival, the youth group was able to get some time on one of the stages that were setup so it was awesome to be there and support the group with their music performance.  The best part about it was that it was relaxing event to the end of a busy 2 weeks.  Also, I learned to not expect the sun to always come out like it does in Phoenix so needless to say, yesterday was a cold day.  So as of yesterday, we have 2 weeks until the start of the first camp, which is the Ceske Budejovice camp.  I'm looking forward to seeing the team coming my home church, Grace Community Church.  Until then though, there is lots to do here in Strakonice as well as in other parts of the country.
