Okay, so before i can go on with my video editing .... i have to share something special that just really made my day today. So i went to meet Coralanne for some filiming at Rynek Jezyncki (an open market) and i was a little early so i wanted to check out the "second hand" stalls. I have ONE BIG down jacket that is WAY TOO HOT for the fantabulous weather we are having (i am sweating in my room as we speak...although my roomate is actually cold....i thought i was the one who was supposed to be cold??) andyways, back to the point. I went to the stall, and i was looking through the jackets, thought i found the perfect one so i was holding it in my arm. The Stall owner said something to me in Polisha dn then motioned to take the coat from me and set it behind the stall with him....i was assuming that meant i wasn't to be holding stuff while i continued my shopping, lol. So i continued to look and he knew i spoke English so in his broken English/Polish he asked if i could speak Armenian or Russian....aha, that's funny. He was trying to communicate to me about being Armenian and something about Los Angeles...wondering if i was a student. I told him i was from Arizona and teaching English. He said i should learn Polish and an older Polish woman said "YES" and spoke in English!! I smiled and told them both i would LOVE to learn Polish and she asked how long i had been there. So then i told her i was unsure if i should buy a light jacket at this time since it was already so warm, and would i really use it? She looked at me as if i were crazy--in regards to calling it warm--but smiled and motioned her daughter to talk with me, since her daughter could speak better English. haha, by this point i was so happy just to be...i dont know, communicating? LOL. I don't know how to explain it really. It was just exciting becuase i could see all these people watching the interaction that was going on with me nad these three people. All so curious. So the gal helped me decide that this was indeed a good idea to buy a light jacket becuase the weather could turn chilly once more but not enough for a big jacket, and i certainly could not go wrong paying only 5 zl for a nice jacket that was second hand (that is only about 2 dollars if that in American dollars). I thanked her then turned to the man to make the payment and he just shook his head and told me it was a present for me. I smiled so big and just said THANK YOU VERY MUCH (in Polish of course)! He smiled big too and i told him i would be back to his stall in the future. I plan to go back with one of my postcards i bought in Arizona to give to people as Thank You's. I hope it blesses him and i have been praying for him throughout the day! Just that God would bless him for the kindness he did me.
And the afternoon with the kids was awesome. I got to help out with some homework today! We were practicing telling time. And after lunch we jumped on the trampoline and played some dodgeball and .... it was so much fun!
There have been some things weighing on my mind though. And i was thinking about them on my walks around town today. I can't really get into them now...maybe ever. i am not sure anyone could understand even if i did try to explain, lol. My brain just runs on a different frequency sometimes.
But I HAVE to get on this video now. It must be done before i leave for the week!
So cool Amanda! You made me want to hug that man! lol Hey, are those little books helpful? Just wondering. Praying for you still.
