I never thought this day would come

And so we are at the end of our mission. Back in 2007, three years seemed like it would be forever; but in fact, three years was just a blip on the radar screen of life. It went so fast! There are no words that can adequately describe what we experienced while serving in the Czech Prague Mission. The people, the culture, the missionaries, all added to our adventure, and our lives have been forever changed. We have loved, laughed, cried, torn out our hair, worried ourselves sick, preached, hugged, comforted, fed, prayed over, rejoiced, stood in amazement, and shivered with excitement for each missionary who passed our way. We have loved them all, and the members became our dearest friends

We are back in Tampa now (after a much needed vacation on the way home), but are looking forward to the mission reunion in October. Thank you for all your support while we have been away. I can hardly believe it's over, but we no longer wear black name badges, and we are back into our khakis and flip flops, so it must be over. In a couple of weeks, it will seem like it was all a dream. But the Czech Prague Mission will be forever in our hearts.
Buh bud s vami nez se sejdem zas.

President and Sister Slovacek: We've thoroughly enjoyed this mission Blog and will miss following it on a weekly basis.
You will be dearly missed by the missionaries there in Czech Republic and Slovakia who are serving right now. We know that first hand! Thank you so very much for your Love and Great Service to this incredible mission!
