Just getting a hint of Spring and back to Winter…
It has been an interesting few weeks…the bad news first – please continue to keep the Krzesinski family in your prayers as sickness has been lingering in their home for about 3 weeks now. Thankfully the Lord has kept me in good health. We have continued with the EDG on Tuesday and Thursday nights and the number of people attending is growing slowly and we are grateful. The kids I work with are very smart and we have to keep things hopping in order to keep their attention for an hour. LOL Also have been blessed with opportunities to minister to others – one young lady comes over on Monday nights to learn to cook and she helps me practice speaking Polish. We call it “Cooking in Polish” – only thing is the meals are usually not very polish – like tonight we are making a chicken stir fry. On Wednesday, Ania and I do a short Bible study in Philippians – she is helping me to write things out in Polish. So I may have a complete polish bible study when I return. J Last week, we had a hint of Spring – there were 5 days of sunshine and temperatures in the 50’s to 60’s! It helped brighten the days and give a little spring in my step. Answer to prayer, I will be going to an orphanage this Saturday and help in the kitchen for the day! Thanks again for all your support!
Cup of Coffee version…
Last few weeks have been busy with time at Daily Grind, putting together crafts for 2 nights a week and bigger project on Saturdays. Also had the privilege of teaching a few of the kid’s EDG lessons. The girls know their vocabulary, one does not like to speak in English – so we are trying to find ways to encourage her to try. Singing songs like “Old MacDonald” or “ABC’s” – are one of the ways to get her to participate. Unfortunately the Krzesinski family has been battling a sickness that has been going through the whole family, along with some other things. It has been a challenging time for them. The Ladies Bible Study has been a blessing in getting to know other ladies and encouraging one another to strive out of our comfort zones. One of my friends will be moving to Thailand this summer, her husband works for the American Embassy and they have friends in Thailand. Another friend stops by Daily Grind every so often to study and I am always thankful for the fellowship. Cooking with Anna has been fun and getting the opportunity to practice my Polish – she is very patient with me. The spring weather was a blessing, a lot of people were out walking and to see the kids playing in the parks. On Friday, as I was returning from class, the snowflakes started falling again. At least, we were able to enjoy the sunshine for a while. I am enjoying the other bible studies also and helping to keep my focus on what is most important. Looking forward to friends coming to visit in the near future and opportunities to pass along the blankets, other gifts and bless others as God guides. An acquaintance asked if I would be interested in going to an orphanage that she helps out at once in a while, I was so excited and am so looking forward to Saturday! Not only has God answered a prayer to visit an orphanage – the opportunity to work in the kitchen! God is so good! Thankful to all who continue to keep in contact with me via e-mail, facebook and so on. Well, I have to get back to work – doing homework, bible study and preparing for this week’s classes.
“For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.”
