Adventure

Seen one shopping mall seen them all! See 3 or 4 Ford Focuses, want to see mine! That sums up my adverntures today in Krakow. The tram ride to the shopping mall was something to be desired. If you ever want to know how much fun it is to be slug around, then come over for a visit and I will take you on the ride of your life! We had a good time but were glad to be home and off our feet.

Tomorrow mom and I are off on a GREAT ADVENTURE! Please PRAY for us! We are going to Vienna, Austria for 2 days then Budapest to meet up with one of mom's ESL co-workers, and lastely to Romania where mom has some contacts. It will be an adventure! :-) I won't be able to get online but every once in a while. When I get back, I will add some beautiful pictures of my trip for you all to see!

Evening with the Lord

Last night I headed off to Paul & Karen's to a college/20s home group. The night was filled with worship, praise, preaching, and prayer. This amazing group of people my age are heading off to Ukraine for a 3 week missions trip. The first missions trip that they have ever been on. This group of young people are so open and in love with God it is great to watch. Everybody was personally prayed over and given a word of encouragement and of strength. At the end of the evening, everyone was eager to gather in the kitchen and scarf down on some great Polish Kielbasa (sausage). I felt honored to be apart of the night and was happy to meet everyone but sad that I couldn't spend more time with them.

Danek, Sasha, and Diana enjoying the great dinner and each others company.

Eva and Bagosia relaxing after a great meal of Polish Kielbasa.

Ana's turn in the hot seat for some good personal, emotional ministry.

KimiBob in Europe

Got to see my mom's church here in Poland. It was great! They do songs in both Polish and English and preach in both languages as well. There was a guy from N. Carolina preaching today and he was good. Mom and I then went walking around the center of Krakow, taking pictures so that I can make a movie clip to send to Blake for his 2nd b-day tomorrow. We even ate at McDonalds for lunch. I eat more McDonalds oversees then I do when I am home. We had a Greek BigMac that they have here celebrating the Olympics. After our adventures in town, we finally made our way back to mom's apartment around 5. Once home, we get a phone call from mom's American neighbors (Paul & Karen from Atlanta) asking us to go with them to their church b/c the college/20s were doing the service. I had meet them Thursday night at Paul & Karen's and they are great people. They did an awesome job. They did praise/worship, drama, dance, and preaching. Of course I didn't understand any of the worship songs or the preaching but that is all good. To me it just sounds like they are always talking in tongues.

Today was good! Praise God! I am getting use to the time change but not yet use to not seeing or always talking to Kelly.
