Castle, Knights and Hide and seek





Well this week we have been getting to know the team here in Levice. And let me tell you they are amazing. They are so involved. This last weekend we went to an event called castle days in their town. It was a lot of fun. There was the town castle and then below there was a show that a troop put on. It was a reenactment of medieval knights fighting in competitions like jousting and sword fighting (It was similar to Medievil times in the U.S. but more real :). It was quite interesting. This Monday we decided to treat the team by cooking them a meal. We managed to gather enough things to make a taco dinner complete with tacos, chips and salsa, and a desert of Ice cream Sundays. Later in the evening we played hide and seek in the church. We are having so much fun with the team here that I am really not looking forward to leaving friday. This team is also very encouraging spiritually. It seems that they are very interested in singing worship together, they seem to do this alot. There is a real spiritual emphasis in all of their lives. I am also very impressed with the leader of their group. Her name in Zuzi. She is quite a fine person and a great leader for the group. I can tell that they really respect her as their leader. This week we are doing school promotions in Levice. So far they are going well, but we could use prayer still. The team is trying to have twice as many students this year. We have had a lot of interest so far. Tonight we are having an evening program that we have invited the students at the schools to. Pray for our health we are still trying to get over whatever it is we have!
