So the other night was really awesome!!! Got a chance to see a play for the first time abroad! It was a play in English--Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, and it was marvelous! I was very surprised at how well many of the Polish students did in speaking the Shakesperean English--i mean, speaking regular English is hard enough! Marcin and Ola were of course my favorites, *wink* they are the friends who were in the play and had invited me to the performance. It was really great just to be in that environment again! the cast party afterwards was a lot of fun too and i got to meet some more people and eat some "college student" made food. LOL. Someone made tiramasu....God must have heard my prayers, because, Tiramsu is like, THE BEST ever dessert known to man-kind....the only thing better is Tiramasu ICECREAM!!!! LOL, because then it combines the amazingness of icecream with the amazingness of tiramasu!!!
I am pretty stoked, becuase for the past few days, i have actually used Polish words, that i didn't relaly know i knew until i actually used them! Like, they just came to my mind! It was miraculous! I know it maynot seem like much to you all, but when you can remember little things without having to whip out a notebook, it is a BIG DEAL. At least....i like to think it is! I hope when i go back to Arizona i can find a Polish student at ASU who i can continue to practice Polish with! That would be so totally awesome! I don't know for sure, but i coudl see myself coming back here in the future. So much to do here! And i just love my new friends here. And , yeah, we will see where it is God leads! Because heaven knows how much i would just LOVE to go to Montana for a while and go to Bible College. Or even stay in Arizona and go to Bible College and maybe go through an English as Second Language training course. i could see those all as options at this point. :)
Today i got to meet with Theresa (a fellow missionary who is here and heads up FoF and does MANY MANY other things) and we were looking into the ideas i had for trying to reach out to the ladies here that we are growing in friendship with and to bring in even more girls to build relationships with!! And we got some good ground covered and i am going to be working on setting something up for after the Easter holidays are over! Probably going to do a dance night or a game night. :) Theresa is REALLY awesome and she has been a huge blessing to me here. She made me Sweet and Sour chicken with Kasza and a tasty salad!! We got some time to just chat about what brought us to Poland and about our lives a little. It was really nice to hear her story.
Saturday i get to go to the zoo with Dagmara and Pawel and Judit and maybe some other friends! This will be my first time at the zoo here and i have been told it is something that i must do while i am here, so i am excited for that.
Also! i have told my Polish friends about the ALIVE retreat for our church.....making them fully aware of the "spiritual" side to it and the purpose of it, and they are all very much wanting to go! All of them have said that as long as they have the money to go, they want to go! So praise the Lord, becuase i can see this as a time when they can really witness the body of Christ and what it is to live out faith! The whole retreat is about being ALIVE in Christ!!!!! I mean HEEEEEELLLLO!!!! This is an amazing oppurtunity right? the answer is YEEEEEEEEES! So i just hope and pray that God provides for their needs and that He really prepares the soil for whatever they may hear and experience on the retreat.
Oi, it is raining.....mud is not pretty here. LOL. Anywhere for that matter. Can't wait for the spring blooming to start happening! When i met with Lisa Mitts and her family, she actually told me that there are some missionaries from Calvary Chapel here in Poland that she knows!!!! I was really excited to hear that and i am trying to get into contact with them. I guess they are farther South than we are here in Poznan though, but i just thought that was real cool!
Alright, it is definitely time for bed. Dobra noc ! Goodnight!
