Leaving on the night train to Krakow!

Last night I left poznan (where I have been staying for the last week and a half) and got on a night train to my new home in Krakow. Me and my new roommate Katie arrived here in Krakow about and hour before church started. Everyone was super kind, and very excited of me being here. After church me & Katie headed out in the very cold snow to a mall close by. Where we ate some very tasty pizza hut, and stocked up on groceries for our lovely apartment.

I really love the look of everything here. It has a very modern/ sophisticated feel. Though I was not able to get a good look at the city today, because of the blanket of snow. But I guess that was nice too :)

Me & katie will spend the next few days, getting things set up here. Doing some different touch ups on the shop. We are hoping the shop will be opening sometime in February. That is if we get the needed funds in by time. 

Please be praying for the funds to come in quickly and that we are able to open this ministry to this beautiful city. 

On another note- the church here is made up of about 3 strong christian families. They have a enthusiastic passion for the church, and can not wait to see it grow. Each family has multiple kids. So a big reason why I am here in Krakow is to start a ministry for all these kids. They seem to be great kids, but they know very little English. So while I tried to get to know them today, it was pretty hard with my 3 words of Polish. If you think about it please pray that we are able to find a common ground soon.

More updates will be coming soon. But wanted you to know I am now getting settled and ready to really start this ministry!

Long time comin'

Let me start you out with a few facts: * I finally called my parents on saturday. It had been 13 days since we last talked. * It has been 19 days since my last post. * 3 months since I moved into my new apartment . Today I have finally posted the pictures. Ok. Yeah so life has been jam packed as of late. I have many exscuses, but I am just going to say dont be sad that I havent been on the internet. Because friends it has been a good thing. I needed to just live HERE for a while. With no distractions of home or other thoughts in my mind. I needed time, to focus on life here. I had gotten back into a rut again. I for some reason forgot why I was here. I was unhappy for no reason. Thankfully I gave it to God, and he my friends yanked me out. He reminded me once again why I am here, and now has really given me the passion I have been looking for here. You do not know how different my days are when I get up in the morning now. I actually want to get up. I am so thankful, because for so lon...

Soon and very soon....

This coming sunday will be a month since I have been in Krakow. I love how at the end of my last post I wrote how updates would come soon. I guess in my time, that means a month. Ha, sorry for waiting so long on telling you what has been happening here. I guess I tend to get so wrapped up in things, I forgot theres another world out there (outside of Yonkers...) Anyways, me and my roommate Katie (who is pretty much amazin' by the way) have gotten our apartment all set up, learned exactly how to get to ikea by tram and a couple buses, and we have learned where to find really really good cupcakes. But on the serious side of things the coffee shop is coming along, and everyday something is happening. Almost all of the plumbing & construction is done, there is just still lots of small things that tend to add up. Today we FINALLY got our really nice espresso machine all hooked up so now we can make the world's best cup of coffee. At least we shall try. Through connections fr...

What a year and 3 months can do...

In the past 3 weeks the shop has tripled with buisness. It has been unbelievable, exciting, and to be honest VERY tiring.  But it has been amazing to see people filling the shop at all hours of the day. All different kinds of people: Business men and women in need of a shot of espresso to get them through the day.  Tourists that heard from their tour guide that we have the best cheesecake in town :) Students cramming for their final exams, chugging down cappuccino after cappuccino. Families that were out for an evening walk, that our in desperate need of a nice cold fresh orange juice. This is what we are to our community. We are the morning wake up call, the home away from home, and always the place to come and relax.  Last night we had a "New Summer Menu Party" and we also celebrated the shop being open for a year. Actually it's been open a year and 3 months, but it just took us a little while to get the party together :) It was a gre...
