Random musings ( Week 4 in Olomouc, Week 39 in Czech )

Hello Everyone,

Starsi Brent was unable to send us a post for the blog this week. They had an emergency trip to another city to help someone. He asked his mom and I to post a few thoughts about his service and our impressions.
We are extremely proud of the way he is serving and growing there in the Czech Republic. Those of you that know him, know that he is a very focused and driven individual and loyal to those around him.  He is really no different there. He is still focused, driven and loyal. He is being challenged in ways that have forced him to stretch himself.
Talking to him on Christmas day was a treat. He sounds great an is loving what he is doing. I think that the call made him a bit homesick, but that is understandable. He is pressing forward in all he is doing. As a new Zone Leader, he is now in the position of being a learner and it is causing a bit of discomfort. He is not used to be in the role of learner. He will get over this and we expect to see tremendous growth over the next few weeks.
Cards and letters are greatly appreciated and even if his responses are sometimes delayed, he always expresses gratitude to us in his emails for all of the kind words that are sent.
Thanks to all of you for your support for Brent and his mission. Special thanks to Faux family members. (You know who you are.)  :)

Love, Brent's parents
