Happy Sabbath everyone! This is Rachel.
First, I would just like to say, everyone is doing a GREAT job planning this wonderful event. I am so proud of you all! The communication, ideas, prayers, time, and immense effort that has been put into this is trip is going to be such a blessing to not only your mom but to those who will be hearing the messages you have to offer at the concerts. And it will definitely be a memory to look back on with joy!
I would also like to say how exciting it is to anticipate together, the soon coming of our Lord. I myself have been very convicted over these last few months that the time is near for our Lord's Return. I could write a few testimonies but right now I will answer some of the posts from earlier. . .

1. Zuzu: I will get a horizontal picture in the mail to you this week of Zigi and I for the picture frame. I think that is a great idea to have seven pictures framed together.

2. Ika: I will work on the scrapbook pages and be sure to have Zigi write any words said, in Czech. Also, I may have some pictures from Mom's trip to Florida and Niagara Falls. If I find some good ones I will mail them to you. And thanks for the heads up about new regulations on bagged luggage.

3. If I can be of use in decorating for the birthday party I would love to do that. Just to be clear . . . siblings please pool a consensus and let me know if that is something you all want me to do. And if so . . . do you want me to be in charge or just help someone who is in charge. . . either way is fine I just need to know how much to plan for. I would be happy to purchase supplies as a contribution. If someone has decor ideas they want me to follow let me know. Anyway just let me know so I know how to plan

4. And finally: I will leave the travel and accommodation plans up to Zigi and the rest of the gang. I am pretty easygoing in this respect. I have no kids and not a lot of luggage. I just need a blanket and a pillow and a floor.

If there is anything else I have forgotten to address please let me know. Or if there is anything else I can help with, let me know. I could bring an extra suit case of supplies (decor, paper/plastic dishes, or whatever the group decides we need to take with us)

I have kept each of you in my prayers, for the last few months especially. And I know that God is going to bless each of you. Stay close to Him as we continue to support each other during this event. And sorry this post is so long.

Love each of you,
Rachel
