Fall Beginnings

We took a final summer outing to our zoo with some friends.  It was a beautiful, warm day!

And then school began-- always on September 1st in Poland.  The first day of school really isn't a school day.- it's just a ceremonial day full of festivities in uniforms.  The REAL first day of school is captured below............................

We had our friends' dog with us for the week-- Jasper.

 

With the beginning of Fall, we began our NFL watching parties with all the athletes.  The guys gather at our place every Monday to watch various games with Coach Al.  It's a joy to have them in our home...........and another opportunity to invite them to Bible study.

Opening night spread.......

Kaleb grabbed the front row seat.

Team members..... present for support

Kielbasa in Poland.....................of course!

Evidence of the guys in our home................love this pic!

 

Life is fast and full already.  I'm trying to capture pics as we are able, but sometimes the download process is slow in coming.  Thank you for praying for us even in the silence.  Albert and Kirstin are in the midst of another 2 week intensive language emphasis..............getting language every day.  Next week, Kirstin will start language lessons at the local university.  Please pray for our mouths, minds, and hearts to be opened to this language.
