Conversation

One of the things we love about this place is how much time we are able to spend in conversation. We realize when we're here that we don't have a work schedule or school, etc. However, even in the summertime in America, we often go our separate ways and live our separate lives ... even within our own family. Here, we have had more focused conversations, particularly with Jim, in one week than we've had in the last couple of months combined. The closeness we share is worth every ounce of energy and every dime of expense it took to get here. These are memories that will last a lifetime.

Please pray for Ben & Joe's travel today. We are really looking forward to having them here. When they arrive, Mikolaj & Vojtek (his dad) will pick them up at the airport & bring them straight to Marek & Patrycja's home. We will be having dinner there ... and yes, I will get to hold the beautiful baby Veronica. I'll give her a kiss on the forehead for all of you :-)

We have several photos from the youth ... and even a short video ... saved on Jim's phone right now. But he forgot the cable to download the photos on to the computer. Ben & Joe are supposed to bring it. When they get here, we will post these items for you.

Today we will begin preparations for the English classes we'll be teaching at the Summer in the City event next week (to the children in Tytus' old neighborhood -- Jewish synagogue site). Also, Marek & Patrycja are coming over to visit. Blessings to you all on this beautiful Radom day! Mid seventies & sunny.
