Out of the Mouth of Babes...

Hi Everyone, Hope you are enjoying your summer! My summer is going well but I do miss my Czech home. One way I am able to keep in touch and practice my Czech is through Skype. I like talking with my dear Czech friends. Sometimes I even manage to contact a Czech friend by calling their cell phone. Today I surprised my friend Bohumila with a phone call to her cell. She was at the zoo with her two boys (Tony and Jarda). It was great to hear her voice and she told me that my "nephew" Tony reminds his parents to pray for "Aunt" Colleen to return to Brno. Tony will be 3 years old in a few weeks and God uses him to remind his parents to keep me lifted in prayer. His parents are amazed that not only he says this (not once but periodically) but also at his understanding of my situation and so am I. But maybe I shouldn't be because I can tell you Tony has been as much a part of my life in Brno as I have been apart of his young life. He was born 4 months before I moved there and after I arrived we quickly became friends as I would watch him for his mother once a week for a few hours. During my first 2.5 years there, Czechs often commented on how well Tony and I interact with each other. If nothing else God continues to teach me He knows my situation better than I do and uses even little ones to encourage adults to do the important things like pray-- Oh how I miss that little boy and his little brother. So can I ask a favor... please join with Tony and his family in prayer asking God to provide all of my financial and prayer support needs so that I can return on the 6th of October to minister where my heart lives. Thanks so much. Until next time take care.
Blessings,
Colleen
