Glad I'm Not a Carp!

Hey friends! Here in the Czech Republic they have a Christmas tradition where the family buys a carp for Christmas dinner. In the rural areas they take the live carp home and it lives in the tub for a few days before the big dinner. Here in Prague the sellers of the carp take it out of the tanks and prepare it for the people buying it. Funny thing is many Czechs don't even like carp - but they have it anyway because it is tradition.

Alvine and I are leaving in the morning for the UK! We'll rent a car and drive over to Wales and spend Christmas somewhere. We're not sure where we will be so we can't make reservations. Hopefully we'll find some place that will take us in. We'll report on this later.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We so appreciate each of you and your prayers for us.

Love, In Christ, John and Alvine
