We made it! Actually we made it about two weeks ago but this is really our first chance to update our blog. A quick timeline of everything that has happened. Arrive in Krakow on Thursday, October 4th. Recover from jetlag from Thursday to Saturday. Church and first team meeting Sunday. Visit a Roma (gypsy) village on Monday. Left for Lithuania on Tuesday for conference. Arrive back from Lithuania on Monday. Tuesday – Friday (today) get settled into our new apartment. Our team is incredible. The team that was already here has been so helpful, you’ll read about them later. The new people on the team, like ourselves, are great as well. We pray that God does great things here. Our apartment is very Polish but it is home and we love it. We’ll send pictures as soon as we fix it up (maybe some before and after shots). We are already meeting important people for our work here. Erin has been in contact with a university student here who is a believer. We just found out that we have six university students on our floor. We also met and exchanged phone numbers with a young professional on the plane ride over, the customs agent that overcharged us, and a young international couple that also just moved to Krakow. Please pray that God would allow some of these quick encounters to take root and become real friendships that lead to people coming to know the Lord. We’ll write soon with more to tell. We miss you all but we are so happy to be serving God here. Seba & Erin

I'm glad to hear the both of you are doing well. I've been getting updates from your brother Andres at church. He speaks so highly of both of you and just how much you are dedicated to the ministry the Lord has placed before you. I pray the Lord keeps you safe and filled with the assurance that you have a purpose in Poland. - Aracely
