Howdy howdy folks,
It has been another week in České Budějovice! Fun fact I might have already shared about České Budějovice: it’s actually a plural noun in Czech! No clue why, but they do that with a lot of city names in Czech. But I guess you folks probably don’t read this to learn random tidbits about the Czech language. So onto the meat!
Things are going well here! Our one friend is steadily progressing towards baptism, but it is not an easy process. We are convinced she will get baptized, were just hoping it will be sooner rather than later. So if you happen to remember us and her in your prayers, we’d be very grateful! We did get to go out and visit her home town this week! It also has a long grammatically complex name: Jindříchův Hradec (Henry’s little defended place). Gorgeous town with a good sized castle at its core! Other than that we have had done lots of stuff on Facebook, and also been visiting some member families!
That’s probably all for this week! Our photo selection is: An impossibly long holy staircase (really long story about why it’s holy, but to Catholics it really is!), us cheesin with the district near the top of the holy staircase, some fancy pasta I made with black noodles, and something (?) I purchased at an Italian market from a lady from Croatia (🤷♂️).
Mějte se krásně všem,
Starší O’Barr
