Well I've been here about a week and a half now. I wanted to send an email earlier when I first got here but I never got the chance. But anyways, the last few days at FPO were good. I got to see some of my family as they came up for the commissioning service which was good.

I got here to Warsaw friday the 4th and my bags didn't make it with me. But need less to say I got them the next day thanks to our Father so it turned out alright. Since then I have been moving into my apartment, getting settled in, doing orientation, starting with ministry, meeting with Poles and figuring out how to work the appliances in my apartment! So at least now I know how to keep clean clothes, cook some food and get around a little bit.

This past week I was able to participate and help with an English club as well as visit with a pop culture American class with some of our team members. I was able to meet and talk with several students through those 2 events. And I was also able to meet and talk with some Poles as they took me around part of Warsaw. As I walked around Warsaw, I could feel the darkness and lostness of this city. But I also see that growing and younger part that is searching for something else and something new. As I think about that, I can't keep myself from seeing that it is Jesus Christ who they need to find as they search. I know HE can give them a hope, future, joy and many things that they wont find anywhere else. THANK YOU God for everything you give us!!!

Pray Requests:
Pray for me as I start language lessons Tuesday morning this week

Pray that I would stay spiritually grounded in the Word everyday

Pray for the relationships that have started and pray for new ones to begin and also that those relationship would deepen into talking about Spiritual things and sharing of the Gospel

Thanks for all that you do. As you pray, know that you are just as an important part of this ministry as I am.
