Some Snapshots of Our Life

We are one week away from having our own internet so blog updates are going to come regularly now. There is so much we want to catch you all up on but we'll just try doing it a little at a time. First we'll start with our apartment. We were shocked when we first saw it. It had bright orange walls in the living room, bright pink in the entrance, and neon green in the bedroom. And our couches were made of a blue shag material. All that was missing were the lava lamps. But now that we are experiencing dark at 4:30 PM and it will soon get dark at 3:30, I see why someone may choose the bright colors. It has grown on us and we are making it our own a little at a time. We love our neighborhood. It is full of mature trees. We have a grocery store less than a block away, a video store, a bakery, and a cukierna (dessert shop) all within half a block. We also live across the street from our boss and his wife which is great because they are really fun and they have two teenagers we hangout with. Our days here are revolving around learning the language. We go to lessons every day for three hours then spend some time doing homework. Erin is helping to teach an ESL class every Wednesday night while I play basketball on the same night as an outreach. I’m also trying to get a feel for the campuses here in Krakow. Please pray for us to be able to share the gospel even though our Polish is very poor. We always try to remember why we're here. We love and miss you. Thanks for your prayers.

Becca tried to describe your apt to me...I'm glad to see it in person! It was much worse in my mind! Your apt looks awesome! When you can make blue shag look great, you know you're home!

Guys...I can tell you have really made this place your own. I have to admit, I kind of like the orange walls and blue shag couches. :) I know learning a new language can be frustrating but keep at it and have a good laugh at the "Poglish" (a mixture of Polish and English) you two may be speaking. I'll be praying for the both of you as you continue to get settled in your place of ministry. In case you send out email updates my address is aperez@buckner.org.
