The girls day: Wednesday morning started off with the boyz (Mark & Dave) heading off to the building project to do some more work. Joyce & I got to sleep in and then spend some time with Amy Ellenwood. We have not had a lot of time with her, so that was nice.
We started the morning by getting some laundry started. It takes a long time to do a load of laundry. Most washers have a 2 hour washing cycle. Yikes! We perserved because Mark's clothes can get really smelly after a few days of work. Later Amy took Joyce & I into Poland. The Ellenwoods town, Cesky Tesin, is located on the border of Poland. Like right on the border! We can see the border gate from the house. We went downtown and parked the car. Then we walked down the street and over the river and we were in Poland. Cool! We did a little shopping and ran into two friends of Amy's friends. It was definitely a "God thing" as one of the friends was dealing with the 2 year anniversary of her son's death. Amy has been a great encouragement to this woman and we pray that the Lord will use it.
In the afternoon, we went with Amy to her school. She teaches English to Czech students twice a week. These students are like High School students yet they are doing college preparation studies. The students had to ask us questions and then tell Amy the things they learned. Later they told us in English about the Czech school system and the teachers. It was fun and interesting.
The boys day: Dave, Mark & Mel's son, Noah working at the retreat center.
