Please Pray!

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, and I dont have an excuse, except 'till Thursday night. After Aimee Johnsons graduation, we came home and our parents sat us down in in the living room. My dad said, that today, he has resigned from Young Life and that we're moving back to the States. I was screaming at the whole house, because it was unbelievable. I did NOT believe it. Not one bit. Everybody started crying. I felt so numb after Andrew left to take a roll on his rollerblades, I picked up my book and started to read. Then I'd start to cry, then I'd stop again and feel numb. We didn't go to sleep that night until 12:30, and before I found out, I just want to share with you an email I sent to Brio (my christian girl magazine):

Hey Brio staff! (or who ever is reading this)I'm a missionary kid in the Czech Republic. In July's there was an article namly: Brio loves MKs!I'm replying to that article in this email.

What's the most difficult adjustment you face when returning to the States (or your home country)?
One of the hardest adjustments I face when coming back to the States is going to all the churches. We visit a different church almost every week, to tell people about how our ministry working with kids is going and how they can help. We only visit America every other summer though. I dont't have to many fond memory's from the kids, because when I was younger I'd ussually be sitting in the pew, listening to my dads missions update, not in Sunday school because when I would try to go to Sunday school nobody would accept me, or even talk to me for that matter. I would miss my
friends back at home.

What do you love most about the country you're ministering in?
I love that I've adjusted here and it's home for me. I'm guessing I know more about Czech Republic than America, since I've gone to Czech school all my life. I know the area I live in very well, I know the language fluently and I have three awesome Czech friends, who I get to minister to every day at school. I've also gotten used to the food. It's nothing that different, just different dishes at restaurants, it's not your average corndog. I also have amazing Christian American friends. I call this place home. I've lived here all my life, and it's just like an American living in the States, with some exceptions. If someone gave me the choice where I'd want to live, America or here, I'd choose Prague in a heartbeat. I know where to be cautious, on streets, public transportation, etc. America is my country, but Czech Republic is my home.

If that's not spilling out your feelings, I dont know what is. I let my mom read it that night, and she started crying and she showed it to my dad. I don't want to move to America. Just imagine this, you are living in your home country all your life, next year you are going to a school that you have dreamed about all your life, where everybody is nice and it's one big family, You've always dreamed about having your birthday on a Saturday, which is this year so that you can have your friends over for a sleepover and have it that exact day and then.... all those dreams go away. You're moving to the other side of the world, where you dont have any friends, except family, you don't know any of the culture barely at all, AND you're leaving your home. I don't want to move to America, we're leaving around two weeks before my brithday, about one week before my dream school starts AND, in jst the time to go to school. Though I want to be homeschooled when we go to America. I know that these are just hormones, but when I go to America, I feel like I dont want to make any friends, wanna be homeschooled, barely ever go outside and be in my room all day. I know that sounds critical, and I bet that I won't feel that way later, but I a so sad. Please pray that Gods will is for us to stay, and if it's not that we will have wonderful peace and joy when we move. I will miss my friends and home so much, the pain has already started. Please just pray for our family.
Love, Peace and Blessings,
That Missionary Kid
