I hate it that we didn't get a chance to blog while we were in Poland.  It was a wonderful trip and we had lots to share with all of you.  Let me share just a little bit about what we did while were there.

On Wednesday evening we took the 4 hour mountain drive to return to the ministry center.  Have I mentioned how many roads were impacted by the recent weather?  Many roads had large piles of mud and boulders on both sides of the road from the landslides.  The roads were generally cleared, but occasionally on four lane highways two...
