Storm, Rain, & Wind

Both literally and figuratively. Literally, this is the worst we've seen it: heavy rain, extreme winds, and all the time. Figuratively, TNU is here and all our worlds have been flipped for the week.

Monday we went to the neighboring kindergarten and had a wonderful time. We took a bus from there to downtown to finalize TAG housing. That was a new experience, we saw completely new places.

We opened the shop Tuesday with no problems and went with Dawid to the airport to pick up the team. They all made it safely. We took a bus downtown. It was a long trip but we befriended a guy our age from Germany. He spoke very good English and we talked about the city, place to go, sights to see, what we were doing in Poland and for only three months...everyone life's story. It was great! God brings so many interesting people into our lives. The team made it to the school, found their beds, were introduced to the school and left to rest. 

Now Russ seems to be the one who is ill, though not with the same thing Jordan had. Please pray for him. It was really bad all day Wednesday. Today is better but we're still watching closely.

Yesterday was Wednesday. Jordan opened the shop and waited for Thea. Thea was at the school coordinating the music part that TNU will perform. When she got to the shop she debriefed on the morning. Hopefully it will go very well. The team seemed to really enjoy it though. We caught up with the team in the afternoon. All the girls were napping so we took the boys for a walk and got a cup of coffee, talked about life and all that wonderful stuff.

Today Jordan went early to the school to connect the team with the elementary level teachers. The team was awesome! They spoke to the kids is English, made rain, sang songs, played Simon says. They made the kids light up. Oh, it was so great! This is the language of love, God's way; a true blessing to see in action.

That's it so far. It's only 11 am here so we'll fill you in more as the week progresses. Again, keep Russ in your prayers, the team here in Poland, and the TAG team from TNU.
