A lot(y) of Złoty

Poland here: Happy Mother's Day!!! Here in Poland Mother's Day is celebrated on May 26th every year. So, to all you mom's, here's a special shout out to you!

Dzien Dobry! Jak sie masz? We're doing great. We just wrapped up a day of exchanging money (dollars for Złoty), exploring the Tomaszow Markets and aiding in teaching English to preschoolers. 

After a morning of 'weeding' the volleyball court, we went to a local school to help teach English to some preschoolers. We taught them food, such as cheese and pasta. The English teaching did include coloring inside the lines (and outside for Dane).

After lunch, we went into Tomaszow to exchange money and explore the markets. While there, we also ate our first Polish cheeseburgers and pizza. Both were VERY GOOD.

Part of our day consisted of meeting with John Crozier (who is overseeing us throughout our experience). We dove into scripture a little, but mainly shared about our journeys to this point, as well as his expectations for us. It was a very needed time, and gave both of us more peace in regards to our roles this summer. It served as great clarity, and energized us to step out of our comfort zones and experience this summer "head-on".

It's been such a joy communicating with each of you back home. Your encouragement has been fantastic. We do want to clarify though that in the next week or so we will be cutting a lot of interactive connecting with everyone back home. With our role clarification we will be taking on more duties and experiencing less down-time. We love you all, but we want you to know it may take longer to get back in touch!

Thanks for your prayers. Please continue praying for our dear friends down in Kenya (www.mi2kenya09.blogspot.com) and for Proem ministries right here in Poland. The church is growing daily, but prayer is a crucial part of that.

We love you! Dzienkuje!
