End of June and getting ready to return home…
I am so thankful to have
been blessed to spend time with some fellow Christians and friends that I have
made. Please continue to pray for my
friend, Heidi, as she is having a difficult pregnancy, raising a family and
doing all she can as a missionary. She
has 2 beautiful kids who love doing crafts with me and I love that they think I
am their age! God is so awesome to give
me the gift of helps and being able to help a friend in need blesses me more
than the person I hope to bless. My Mom
has given me an ample supply of taco seasoning and I was able to bless the
family with some- so they can make a giant taco – an easy meal. Also have been able to get to know a few
young ladies more and encourage them. It
has been great to have these young ladies take me to places that I wanted to
see before leaving Poland. Powsin – has
a large botanical garden, even though it was raining, it was neat time of
fellowship! Wilanow – which is said to
be the Versialles of Poland – the gardens were beautiful and walking through
the park…they even had a China tea house and Roman bridge – how
international! This past week, I was
able to go by train to Bremen and meet up with my Dad and brother – (American)
Father’s Day – my Dad got the gift of getting to see ME! LOL
Then we spend a few days with relatives – so awesome to see them again
before going home. My Dad and Karl
brought me back to Warsaw – to help me pack.
We ended up getting a new suitcase and I am so thankful that they are
able to bring a lot of my things home for me!
Please pray for me as I finish packing, say my “good-byes” and new
beginning to where the Lord will lead me next!
Please continue to keep Robert, Rachel, the kids and others serving at
Daily Grind in your prayers for ESL teachers, volunteers, and wisdom as the
ministry continues to reach the community for Christ. J
Cup of Coffee version…
I will be
able to share more when in person. The
different places I have been blessed to see and people that I have met. Please continue to pray for the people here
in Poland. Many are Catholics and many
cling to tradition – not gain knowledge of the personal relationship with
Christ is what they are truly seeking.
Robert and Rachel are doing a great job of reaching out to others and
continuing to be in prayer that more will come through the doors of Daily
Grind… God has blessed, as the weather
has gotten nicer, more people are stopping in to see what we are all
about! They have multiple English
discussion groups, activities for kids, Ladies book club and bi-weekly Bible
studies. The challenge now is to bring
helpers and I know as we all continue to pray, God will provide! This is a bitter-sweet time for me…my heart
breaks for the people here in Poland as many do not know God as their Savior
and seem to be so content with their day to day living without God, also for
the friends that I have made and will be leaving behind…but the sweet part is
that I am able to come home and see my family, church and friends! I know that the Lord has worked in and
through me and can’t wait to share with you.
Looking forward to the hugs and smiling faces – a time of renewal and
rolling up my sleeves to serve as the Lord leads. Please pray for the finishing strong,
wrapping up loose ends and prepare for what the Lord has before me… God is so good – All the time! Thanks again
for all your prayers and support! J

Your faithfulness, give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.” Psalm
