I got to spend New Years Eve with my friends Jordon and Mal (a fellow PLU grad!), who are living in Germany right now. We had a wonderful week of relaxing, watching movies, cooking, and Wii-ing :)
Upon my return to Slovakia, I went to my first English Camp, a winter camp in Tuhár (a village not too far away). It was great to get a little experience with the camp atmosphere, since we will be hosting English camps during the entire month of July here in Lučenec!
This week, I started back with my (almost) normal schedule and have been preparing for English classes like crazy in an attempt to be ahead of the game and really well prepared this time around. I feel really good about classes and am excited to see everyone's progress as the year goes on.
Here is a picture of the first thing I did in 2011 - at about 12:30am after watching fireworks from a bridge crossing the Rhine River in Cologne, Germany. It's going to be a good year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Liz. I have been catching up on my reading and I realized that it will soon be my month to pray for you (March). I think that you are doing exciting things in Slovakia. The New Year's ice cream looked wonderful and I could just imagine your delight as you dug in! It's easy to see that you are building relationships and memories to last a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any specific prayer requests, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Everything is fine back in Bellevue. In a few months your dad will retire and begin traveling. I don't know what the church will do without him. He is such a good and faithful man. He has earned this time though and I am happy for him that he will be able to spend time with his brothers and travel.
God Bless ... I look forward to your posts!
