Time in Poland

Zdzieszowice

 The flight was smooth without any delay. We reached well only that we were not prepared for the weather. The temperature was a bit different to the one we got used to in Africa. Hoverer God's favor was with us and we got some warm clothes for the time being. After some time the weather also changes and we were able to walk in shorts.

Szklarska Poręba

                                                         The whole visit was arrange with many different things. We were hardly staying in one place. Mostly we moved from one place to the other, from south to north part. I don't remember visiting so many different places during my whole life in Poland. My family was not well off, and was hard to afford all this. But the time came when I could travel from one city to the other. Amazing! Even for Henry who came to Poland for the first time (I believe not the last ). He was even lucky to see snow in the middle of May. 

 

Baltyk

Many people opened their homes for us, though both we were strangers to all of them. Polish hospitality is reaching the level of Africans I would say. Well done Poland. The tables were full of food, different kind. Almost everywhere we went people served ogorki kiszone :)- our favorite ones. I was surprise to see Henry enjoying almost every dish, meal like he was be born in Poland.

Every single person received us very warm and eager to hear about our work in Uganda.                    

                                                                                                             

Gimnazjum

Apart from churches we also visited schools. It was nice experiences talking to kids who have everything while the children in Africa don't have anything. In some places we also prepared posho for kids to try(kind of food which is eaten in Uganda). Some were about to thrown out. I thought - how about people, children here who eat this food every day, day and night, from January till December. They don't have much choice like us in Poland. Our fridges are always full with good food.  How     pro village we are. We must to remember that,thanking God for all the small things He put on our plates.

Family

During this visit we were able also to spend few days with my family, brothers, sister and my dad. God is doing amazing thing restoring our relationship back and bringing to the light. With God all things are possible. It was really good to talk to my brothers and have some short time with dad. They accepted Henry, tried their best to communicate with him though none of them speak english. Sometimes it looked funny. Good enough I was not far to come with help:).

All in all the trip was successful, meeting new people and having some time with old friends. I believe God sent us both to Poland for the reason. The word was spread and now we shall wait for the fruits.

“And the seed sown in the good soil stand for those who bear fruit, some as much as hundred, others sixty and others thirty” Matt.13;23

I would love to thank you all for hosting us and taking good care of us. We really enjoy this time with you. We are sorry for not being able to meet with all who invited us but I believe we can leave it this for the next visit.

May God bless you abundantly.
