For the last 7 weeks, Erin and I have had limited access to the internet. We are sorry that we have not updated the blog in a while. We want to try to summarize what has happened from Thanksgiving to now. We had an English Speaking Christmas party and invited everyone who wanted to practice their english to come. We had over 75 people come! It was amazing and fun. (This is a picture of a game we played like hot potato). This party helped us find who would be interested in an English Speaking worship service we started last week.
After the Christmas Party, the Polish government told us we had to leave the country (don't worry, it wasn't because the party got out of hand). Crossing the border allowed us another 90 days to work on our residency card. We decided to drive to Slovokia about 2 1/2 hours away. The only problem was that the border was in the mountains and it is full blown winter. As you can see in the video, we thought we were in the Chronicles of Narnia movie. We were actually in a van, not a snow-mobile.
For Christmas, Erin and I traveled by train to Malbork to visit my cousin Andrzej who I had never met.
It was great. Andrzej has an incredible family and they treated us so well. They invited me to preach the Sunday before Christmas at a Baptist church in Malbork that has been there for more than a 110 years. I was talking with Andrzej's father about the history of the Church.
We had an incredible meal on Christmas Eve with traditional carp and bigos and sledz. All of it was great.
We've met tons of neighbors and made many new friends and are starting up some new ministries. We will update you on these soon. Thank you for your prayers and we love and miss all of you.
Last night our team went to an orphanage. We sang songs, practiced speaking English and just hung out together. Here we are all singing and having a good time. Later the kids took us to see their VERY clean rooms. They were so excited to give us a tour around their place. 
Please pray that these kids would feel God's love around them everyday and that they would one day come to know Him as their Father.
Here is the group walking to the tram stop.
Please continue to pray for us as we meet new people and build relationships. We love you and thank you for all your support.
