We arrived at DFW early Friday morning after a slight delay with our connection in Atlanta due to stormy weather. Ivana went through "processing" at Atlanta with the Department of Homeland Security. This seems to have mostly been a matter of fingerprinting her with ink in addition to the digital fingerprints taken at the embassy in Prague. She has still not received her permanent resident card, so she has to keep carrying her passport. We're also waiting for her social security number, which is mainly important now so she can apply for a Texas driving license. Hopefully both of those documents will come soon.
We were with the church at North Beach yesterday for the first time. The folks there gave us a very warm welcome. We are looking forward to working with this fine group of Christins. As far as I know, this is the only conservative church in this part of north Fort Worth. Since this area is experiencing a lot of growth and expansion, I really believe there is a lot of potential for the Lord's Kingdom here. |

Our phone line is going to be switched off tonight around midnight in anticipation of our move to the U.S. next week. With the phone goes out internet connection as well. Once we arrive in the U.S. on July 31, I can be reached on my cell number which is (214) 212-0888. |

Well, specifically, the North Beach St. congregation in Fort Worth. The elders there have invited us to work with them, and we have accepted their invitation. Our first Sunday there will be August 3.
We are looking forward to the opportunity to work with the congregation in that growing area of the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. |

We just got home from a 3-day trip with the Lustyk family (from the congregation in Litomyšl) to far Southern Moravia. We managed to see an amazing number of things in the time we were there including the Baťa Canal. Here are some photos of the kids on our boat ride on the Canal, which was a big highlight of the trip for them.

Another photo from the Berlin Museum. This basalt stele depicts the Assyrian King Sargon II who is mentioned by name in Isaiah 20:1 in reference to the conquest of Ashdod. Ferrell Jenkins has a nice section discussing Sargon II in his article Biblical Insights From Archaeology which can be found here.
