This past week and a half I have the opportunity to fellowship with other missionaries in Greece. It has truly been a time of encouragement and refreshment. The best part about being here with all of these neat people is just spending time with them, listening to them tell their stories, and knowing that I am not alone. I've also really enjoyed the times of song during the services. I did not realize how much I missed not only understanding the words of the songs but also being able to sing along with other believers. It has been great!
One night, some of us single girls went and had dinner at an Italian restaurant. I think this has been my favorite restaurant here so far!
For the most part, house shoes are an option in the U.S. People generally wear them either because they are more comfortable than regular shoes or because their feet are cold. However, in the Czech, "regular" shoes are not allowed in the house. When you enter a Czech home, the first thing you do is take off your shoes. You then either walk around in your socks or put on some house shoes. In fact, many homes have some sort of storage that you place your "regular" shoes on while you visit.
