Wednesday

This will need to be brief, because we're heading out the door soon. So here we go ..... Thanks to my wonderful son Ben, we got the picture uploading problem solved. Hopefully I will have time to post many pictures later today. Sorry I can't do it right now, but we're getting ready to leave for the morning.

Yesterday the English workshops went great. Just great. More people came, the gospel was shared in numerous groups, people listened intently, they sang their hearts out during worship, and we had a great time together playing games, etc. Lunch was served for us at the ministry center by Jola, Patrycja and Ella: pork cutlets, Polish salad, and boiled potatoes. Yummy. After lunch, the teens got on a bus and went to a park to play kickball. Levi and I stayed behind for a much needed nap.

The construction guys ran into some major problems yesterday, so they had to end their day early (while a Polish man resolved a few issues). So the construction guys got to go to the park as well. Everyone loved the ministry there, because it was similar to the early days we've spent in Poland. Many kids gathered to play. It was fun. Ryan (a young, local Int'l Messengers missionary) shared his testimony. Levi told me about it; it impacted him. I am amazed at how these people continue to speak God's truth in every situation ... public, private, in personal relationships, while teaching, etc. It is awesome to see.

Like I already alluded to, the construction guys ran into some snags yesterday. However, they are up and ready to mix/pour concrete today. They will mix it one bucket at a time and carry it up to the house. I hear thunder outside and rain ready to begin. Please pray that they can get their work done!

I wish I could write more, but I must get down to the lobby for breakfast. I'll write more details later.

Oh, one last thing ... We all went over to Edyta's last night so the teens could see her bathroom before the construction there begins tomorrow. They were moved by how small her living space is, but how much ministry those girls do in that apartment -- with much love. Edyta and Wiktoria are great leaders and are an inspiration.

Sorry for any errors - I have no time to proofread this!
