Kim and Sarah’s visit…
It was so
great to have friends from home come to see and hang out with me. I know they made a lot of sacrifices to come
and I don’t take that lightly. It was a
few rough days of getting through jet lag and being able to eat some food that
looked a bit different. We had
coffee/cream and pistachio ice cream… Thankfully we walked enough, to be able
to enjoy a bowl. They were troopers, as
they helped me do crafts with the kids and Sarah was Layla’s friend. Rachel started the Ladies book club – they
are reading “Life without Limits” in Polish & having opportunities to share
about Christ and will be meeting once a month.
Robert started the Polish Bible Study on Fridays – biweekly and we had
dozen kids for crafts on Saturday - few new faces. All the new activities are helping us to grow
the ministry here and more opportunities to share Christ. Needless to say, I kept Kim and Sarah pretty
busy. We had very nice weather, that was
a huge blessing. On Sunday we were able
to squeeze in a visit to the Zoo, Monday – trip to Old Town and a few other
places. We were all blessed by their
visit and the kids miss them. It has
been like summer weather here and I would be totally OK if the temperature
returned to the 70’s with a breeze…but sunshine is so much better than the gray
skies we had before. Well, back to the
studies and getting crafts prepped for future events! Thanks again for allowing Kim and Sarah to
come and be a blessing! J
Cup of Coffee version…
After trying
to getting to the airport, camera in hand and eagerly waiting to see Kim and
Sarah come through the arrival doors…all of a sudden I hear someone behind me
say – are you looking for us? Go figure,
I was talking to Robert and missed Kim & Sarah coming through the doors and
they were standing behind me! Robert
parked close, so we got in the car and were on our way in no time. After settling in a bit, we went to the
Crepes restaurant nearby, but that was probably not the best choice…when people
have been traveling. Thankfully we were
able to get to-go containers and had a quick meal on another day. The time adjustment was a bit rough on the
girls, but they were troopers and came with me each night for the lesson/craft
time with kids. Layla and Sarah were
buddies. All the kids were excited to go
to the zoo and play in the park together.
Funny how you mention ice cream and playing in the park…suddenly they
have energy. LOL It was great to spend time with Kim and
Sarah…see Old Town and meet some interesting people. Found a neat gift shop…it did not look like
much for the store front, but you walk inside – things from ceiling to
floor…you name it – they had it. Sarah
tried Smerf ice cream…it was definitely blue…you will have to ask her what it
tasted like. It was hard to see them go,
but I know they were eager to go home – see family and share with others their
experience in Poland. Note to crafters –
string art projects are not ideal for young kids…always better to opt for pony
bead projects instead. I found a great
idea online for preschool kids – paper octopus with pipe cleaner legs – add a
few pony beads and a silly face…kids are happy and so am I! Older kids made little lizards… Thanks again
for all your prayers and support! J
