Day Three - Morning

It is a beautiful day here in Czech. The morning showers we took were warm. We learned that the water is solar heated and lasts for about half of those staying here. The early bird gets the warm shower. It also means that if there is no sun out then the water doesn't get warmed up and we have cold showers.  Our day started with an interesting breakfast. We arrived to the dining hall to find a plate with two sliced cucumbers, two sliced tomatoes, two pads of butter and six slices of thin ham (chipped ham) neatly folded. There was a basket of the thick Czech wheat bread on the table as well. We all thought that this was an appetizer but soon discovered it was breakfast. We had a great chapel service where Caleb did a great job leading worship and we looked at Luke 15 and talked about the Parable of the Prodigal Son. We learned about our assignments for the week. Four of us will be teaching English classes for three hours everyday. I am one of the teachers along with Cassie, Monica and Tabitha. I got "C's" in English so I hope I can keep up with these kids. Kids that go to summer camp in Czech really want to learn. Each teacher will be assigned a student helper. In addition to teaching English, we will be teaching workshops including, hip hop, frisbee golf, football, baseball and others. One of our adventures today happened when one of the guests at the hotel grabbed KJ and dragged him over to introduce him to his daughter. A translater came along and told him that his daughter really liked KJ. KJ quickly got explained that he was married and got out of the situation. For lunch we had a cauliflower soup which was quite tasty and fried cheese, french fries and tomato salad. Lunch is the main meal of the day for the Czech and each lunch begins with soup. Many of you are wanting a Hannah update. She broke a white plastic chair today and ended up on the ground during a game. Will keep you posted on any new developments.
