Hello everyone. We arrived safely on Saturday morning.
We spent the day in Bratislava with our IMB friends mostly just trying to stay awake. After a good night
of sleep, we were up early to sing at the Baptist church there. We sang about six songs and Gilbert preached. The church there sang some hymns and choruses that we know,so we sang along in English. In the afternoon we drove to Klenovec which was about four hours away. Most of the kids took a well deserved nap so that we arrived refreshed to have dinner and meet our host families. How exciting for them to stay in the homes of the Slovakian people. Our particular home did not speak a lot of English, so we did a lot of sign language....
This is just day one of being in the schools and I coud not be prouder.Your studnets are doing an outstanding job~
They are teaching English classes, allowing the students here an opportunity to use their conversational English skills.
Later today we will give a concert outside and have been asked to share a testimony.
In the evening, we will have dinner and spend some more time with some of the students here at the school.
I will post pictures as soon as I can.
Phone access is very,very limited but Gini in the music office should have the cell number by now if you need to speak with me. I will hopefully be able to get the kids to an internet cafe in the next day or two so that they can all email you.
Please continue to pray. It is amazing....beautiful country and beautiful and gracious people. You would be very proud.God is good.My prayer is that none of us would ever be the same again.
