Polish Family

Our families are often made up of both our biological families and those that 'become' family. There are those here in Poland that are definitely part of our extended family. I am glad that over the years, they have moved past just me and are integrated into my family at home. My Polish family have spent holidays with us, vacations and Pam spent a summer here in 2006 with them and they looked after her, encouraged her and gave her the experience of a lifetime.

It is nice to be with them and a little bittersweet. I have not been back here, a place that is so dear to me, since Pam died. I have been able to celebrate the birth of Magda and Daniel's new baby - Miki, he is soooo cute! Also, the announcement that John & Zaba are expecting their 3rd! They are awesome parents, so this baby will be blessed as well as a blessing.

The ministry here is continuing to grow - for more info on Proem - check out their website ... proem.pl

Lisa is continuing with her dialysis 3 days a week and therapy every day, sometimes twice. She is hoping to be out soon. Mark surprised her and bought them a house! I am not sure exactly where it is, but I think she got to go and look at it - and Jen said she liked it! I am really excited for them. They have been renting a house next door to mom for the past few years - they are really close to the hospital - but they have wanted to buy something for a while now. I know it will be an adjustment for her to not be so close to mom, but I am praying it will be good.

Thanks for checking in!
