Sunday was a busy day, full of laundry, house cleaning, packing, etc. Dawid and Simona gave us a farewell BBQ. Thea and Ella came. Richard and Ola with their two kids. Adam and his family. Even Ola and Karol made it. It was great to be with everyone again and say goodbye. That night Ola and Karol came to our clean flat (finally clean!) and played one final board game before our departure. They are one of the truest and one of the few sincere friends we've made since being here. We had a great time.
Monday we rose early and went to the neighboring kindergarten for one last goodbye. We will miss the kids and Ola very much. From there we headed downtown to pick up a few last minute items. Then it was back to Kowale for haircuts and a final team meeting. We gave everyone a card with our thanks inside and talked about how quickly the time has gone. We were off for another hour to take care of some final things. We met Dorota at the shop to say goodbye. She is so sweet! If all our lives had not been so busy these last few months, we would have gotten very close. We plan to keep in touch. Afterward we went on our final date in Poland downtown and got home by 10:30 pm.
We "napped" trying to get back on west-coast time as quickly as possible. We will be traveling 20 hours today and leave for the airport in one hour. Pray for our safety and health as we travel. Pray that God would use the time to store in our hearts all that we have learned these last months about Him, ourselves as individuals, and our marriage. Pray that we would have an overwhelming sense of His peace as we wait for the next step to be revealed to us.
