Week five started a bit difficult in assigning duties for what we need to accomplish for our project. We must work on the video we want to do, the final presentation for the American Center next Friday and the final group poster for Lehigh. Little by little we are getting each piece of the project done and I am looking forward to the final outcome.
So far my experience in the Czech Republic has been a cycle of valleys and mountains. There are times when I feel angry for witnessing racism against someone that I truly care about and the simple reason is because they are Roma. I have been happy when I see that the few that do know Christ are those that are Roma and a very few non-Roma. It's inspiring for me to see that even after being discriminated and excluded from the rest of society, many Roma are still strong in the faith and their children are even inspired to draw crosses representing Jesus.
It has been definitely a hard journey for me as a Christian, especially here in Prague where probably only one in one-hundred people is a Christian, and the same goes with non-smokers (hard to find non-smokers). Regardless of the lack of faith, I have discovered that I am meant to inspire others, by my personally and service, to learn about Him and how He can make someone smile even after difficult situations in life. I hope to continue to grow in my faith and discover the best path for me. For now, I will continue to smile and impact others with His love that reflects on others.
