PRAHA MISSION TRIP

Ok, so I went to Prague 2-18 thru 2-22 to take part in an IFES (that is IV in Europe) along with Matt and Valerie Beasley, old friends and IMB missionaries. Below are pictures from the trip:
Below is a picture of me and going counter-clockwise Matt, Valerie, and Whitney


Here is Tom, the IFES leader, and his fiance, Daniella:




During the day the students went skiiing on one of the local slopes in the western region of Karlovy Vary, which is right on the boarder with Germany. Check out the snow!




Some mountain pics:





This is the village of Jakimov where we stayed for the retreat:




Here are some pics of me on the town. Random thumb alert:







Double thumb!


Here is me with a group of students at the retreat. I forget the names, but the girl in the center (blonde hair) is Hanka from the south of Czech Republic near the Austrian border, sitting to her right is Valerie and then Marushka.



Name escapes me, but another college student:



This dude slept next to me, and I mean to say, RIGHT next to me. Good bro, named Vetak (not sure of spelling, but pronounced Vee-tech):



Two awsome college students, Rut and Pavel. Rut works for the Canadian government in Praha and Pavel is a pastor's son and works at a bank. Both are part of the IFES Bible study, and Pavel might come to study abroad at UT, which would be cool:



Matt and Valerie:




The local slope in Jakimov is very inexpensive and so we went snowboarding with some students. I think the lift ticket cost $10 US! Notice the steepness of the slope and the town in the distance. It was Matt's first time snowboarding, and he did very well:
