friends my own age

One thing I've been asking God ever since I got to Czech has been for friends my own age...not that I don't have friends, but I really felt like I needed some Czech female friends who weren't in ministry or involved with church. Finally, this fall I met Jana (30) and Iva (26). Jana teaches English at a school and privately, and every other week I join her lesson with Iva to "help." Actually, Jana's an amazing teacher, and I think the only thing I've helped with has been messing up Iva's blossoming British accent. A few weeks ago, I said "stop," and Iva repeated it just like I said it. Jana yelled, "Ahhh! What are you doing? The word is 'stOp,' not 'stAp'!" We're all 3 very different, but I'm so glad that I get to know these great women.
