New Site and New Discoveries

Welcome to the new blog look for bstedman.com. Bryan and I are excited about the new look and feeling motivated to write here more often. We know that we haven’t been the best at updating this blog, but we really do want you all to feel like you are connected to what is going on in our lives here in Prague, so we plan on getting better at updating.

So, here’s a little update on The Stedman’s:

As many of you know, the last few months have been a transitional time for us. I (Bethany) was just recently accepted into Christian Associates International and will be joining their church planting team here in Prague. See our “What we are doing in Prague” page for more information on this. Bryan is also transitioning to a consulting role and is currently working on a number of different projects with that. We are excited for this next phase in our lives and looking forward to what God does in us and through us here in Prague.

It feels like Prague is becoming more and more like home. I think I finally have the family room set up how I want it (I moved the book shelf that was in the office into the family room and love it). We have some very close wonderful friends here. We have vocational endeavors that are interesting and exciting to each of us. We continue to be very involved at our church and have started going to a weekly bible study that we are enjoying as well. We know our way around really well and we have finally figured out how to shop here. We have also started to explore the areas around Prague, which strangely also makes it feel more like home.

A few weekends ago we piled into a friend’s car with our good friends the Bakers and some sack lunches and headed out to explore Cesky Raj (Czech Paradise). Cesky Raj is a national park area about an hour away. I don’t know if I would call it Paradise, but it is definitely beautiful. We explored lots of windy roads and got reasonably lost a few times. We picked apples and pears up that had fallen from heavily laden trees by the side of the road. We hiked up some paths where they have these giant rocks they call the “jumping rocks” – people come from all over the world to jump from rock pillar to rock pillar here. And of course we took a ton of pictures; here is one of my personal favorites from the outing:

Rejoicing in the journey -
