It is cold here! Today it was around 13 degrees. We spent the morning cleaning the church building instead of working outside because of the cold. It was such a neat experience even though it was just cleaning. I think the whole team would agree. For me personally it was more than just serving that church...it was serving the Lord. Cleaning became a joy and I had so much fun mopping. While we were there a man came with a bunch of bread. The church hands out bread every day to the poor people in Gryfow. We didn't actually get to be directly a part of that, but we saw it and it was powerful! Something amzing happens when the church serves people in need!

After cleaning we went to lunch at Marek's house. Marcia prepared the most wonderful soup for the first part of the meal!! It was enjoyable to be in their home and to visit with them for a couple of hours. When we got back to the center, Melissa, Laura and I walked down to the river. (I don't really know what we were thinking with it being 13 outside) It was really neat. You could see where people had been ice fishing and the snow was beautiful. The second picture is me standing on the frozen river. Never done that before!!

The guys are at the men's meeting. We ladies are hanging out and working on face paint and balloons for the kids tomorrow. Should be a good time!
