the time has come...

...to wrap up and say good-bye to people. when i signed up for this gig, i think that i thought that it was for life even though i knew that it was only for 2 years.

but the goodbyes are starting.  here is mine and jessica's friend bozena.  she has helped us with our polish and we have helped her with her english!  she is expecting a baby in 2 months so it is very exciting for her!

and the next two pictures are people that we have been partnering with for the past 22 months.  monika and marcin(they have been married for the past year and half and are expecting a baby in march!) live in a nearby town where he is the pastor of the church there. 

with marcin, we have been able to go to villages to teach english and then be able to share our faith through Bible studies that have started in these places, summer camps, and community outreaches.
monika was so happy about this picture because you can see her little baby bump!   the Lord is continuing to work in their lives and it is amazing to see.
