Kosice

Right now we are staying in Kosice, Slovakia. It has been a great experience and we will never forget all the people we met.
After a long drive from Nove Zamky we finally got to our hotel. They had some troubles with housing us but the Lord took care of it all and now we are enjoying our neat rooms, our roommates and especially our showers with no shower curtains which causes a big flood everyday:-)
Everyone is staying very positive and very flexible. We are so proud of every single person - people are just amazed whenever they get to work with our teenagers.
On Tuesday we started the painting job at Lunik 9. It was pretty challenging - the walls were in a bad shape but by now they are looking awesome!
The rest of us got to play with the Gypsy children in their gym and some others picked up tons of garbage around the school in Lunik 9.
Yesterday and today we started visiting schools. Since they really enjoy talking to someone from a foreign country, they were very excited to have us. We talked about our lives, the differences, the commons, the school over there, the driving, sports, music...We had a good time talking to many teenagers and inviting them to the final "party" at the local church. The party will take place tomorrow night so we would appreciate your prayers.
Last night we had a chance to go back to Lunik 9 and spend some time with all the children. We were really surprised when we saw about 300 children gathering all around us. It was amazing playing with them, singing praises and just loving on them.
We are all doing great and we are so thankful for your spiritual support!
Talk to you soon!
