Orphanage Visit August 2010

Here are a couple pictures from our visit with the lively group of young individuals at the orphange in Bielsko. Claudia is the teenager in the picture with the rabbit. She has three brothers who are in the next picture with her. When we were there she said they will be seperated because she is too old for that orphanage now. Please pray that they would know God, and for His comfort. The children there are so sweet and enjoyed helping me with my boys. They also had a great time with the team from England who did a puppet show and played with them.

Answered Prayer

Thanks to everyone who prayed about our living situation, and opportunity to support our family. But most of all thank God for always providing! We are currently in a busy tourist season, and we have had many people stay as guests where we live. The record was 22 tourists for one night. And Marek has had a chance to meet with the owners since they were in town from Germany. They decided that we can live in their house rent free for a period longer than one year. The agreement is that we will be fixing up their house in the meantime. We are very comfortable there, and hope that we can be financially supported through this house. If you would like to see more pictures of the place where we live you can at www.nakamiennym.blogspot.com.

I walked outside of our home and saw more butterflies at once than I have before. It's wonderful how God made things work. I enjoy the details of God's creativity.

Easy to See

Here in the mountains I'm constantly amazed by God. Watching the mountains stretch out across the horizon, standing in awe of the beautiful sunsets, observing how the sun shines upon and through the clouds. I also get to see how God provided for us during the creation of the earth. Now is a time when the trees are bearing fruit and blueberries are scatttered throughout the forest. When I think of how wonderfully God made this place, I always think of heaven, and how we haven't seen anything yet!

Dominik

Our son is a sweet blessing. He is 15 1/2 months now. When he hears music he starts dancing, he enjoys music more than his toys. Dominik is also very loving. Always giving hugs, kisses, and rubs on the face to us, and he doesn't leave out his sibling developing inside mommy. He is very outgoing with other children, and sometimes they get scared because he wants to hug them. We took this picture while he was eating smoked sausage for the first time with excitement.

Our New Home

We have been living in the mountains for two and a half weeks now. Marek and I really like it. There have been a few tourists who came since we've had the place ready. And many people have left after they saw how high we are in the mountains. It looks like there are people who really like it, and people who fear it. We just hope to get a good amount of tourists through this place so we can have our family supported. The pool didn't cost as much as we thought to fix, and we are in the process of filling it up already.
Dominik has been walking for two weeks now, and I can feel the baby inside moving around a lot.
We always need prayer and we are very thankful for all your support.

A lot of Work Ahead

We met with the owner of the property on Saturday and he said he would rent out the tourist house to us, but not the small house. This means that we will be living in a place where tourists of all kinds will stay. The price of rent has not been decided by the owner, but he said that we can take out of the rent whatever we pay for fixing up the place. There is a lot of work to be done! Yesterday was our first day of work at the house and we already found a dead mouse. I guess it's about time I get over my phobia! The property is beautiful, and the view is amazing! There is a pool that will be expensive to fix, but I think we might go for the investment because it will draw more tourists to that location. We also have a big grill outside that we already took advantage of with Marek's parents. Please pray that God would work on the owners heart about pricing. Thank you! And I will update the blog soon with pictures.
