Unity...

So, almost a week is down here in Poland. Currently we are at a "festival" called Real Action. It has been amazing to see the way that God is working here through people from different nations. I have worked on two different projects; one was re-painting a playground and the other was re-painting a fence. Kenji and I have enjoyed working with people from all over Poland and different countries. Every night and morning we gather as a big group and worship, it is a perfect demonstration of unity within the body. We worship in Polish and English and the message is translated from Polish to English for all of us Americans and non-Polish speaking people.

The language is very difficult to learn but I am trying with very small phrases such as "I don't speak Polish". The work is very tiring but worth it to see the Lord glorified in this city. I am so encouraged to hear of all of the stories that are taking place through all of the different projects happening throughout the town. However I am not so encouraged from all of the mosquitoes that are here in Poland. Every day we are eaten alive! I probably have over 500 bites on my body!

On Saturday we are having a concert/party for the conclusion of this festival. So please be praying for that, that people in this town will see Gods love and grace through our work.

On Sunday we leave for Zakosciele where we will stay for the remainder of our time. I love it here and am so excited to see what is next one our trip.

First day!

Hello Everyone!

If you have read Chrissy and Larry's blog you heard that we had a great but long flight. The delay in London was not that fun but we made it Poland! Thank you so much for all of your prayers it was very evident on the flight. David was amazing and sept a good portion of the way and when he wasn't sleeping he was, as usual, the best baby ever!

I am so excited to be here with this group of people. The Polish people are so amazing and friendly. We are still getting familiar with the language and the culture but so far so good.

Tomorrow we leave for another city (I have no idea how to spell or pronounce it) for the week where we will help paint and renovate a building. It is going to be great so please keep us in your prayers. The land is so beautiful here it is so easy to see the Glory of the Lord. I can't wait to start building relationships with these people!!!

On another side note...while on the plane to London I got a call from the Dog Whisperer (in December I sent in a film about my dog) and they want to shoot my story!!!! So in the next season you will see me and my dog!!! I am so excited.

Hope all is well! Love you all

Heather

2 day count down!

A little over 24 hours and we will be heading to LAX to take off for our trip! Thanks again to all of you who have supported me and the rest of our team. It really is an amazing experience to see how the Lord is providing. I am getting really nervous, but also very excited to go to Poland. So please keep us all in your prayers.

The Lord is so faithful in all things!
