Easter weekend

This weekend I went to Poland to visit the Snyders, a missionary family there- I think I forgot to mention this. Traveling by myself was an interesting and challenging experience, but God took care of me! The Snyders- Steve, Bernatka, Veronika, and Daniel- live in a smaller city near Warsaw. I got to stay in their house and see their church and ministry. There were lots of people at their house because of the Easter holiday. I decorated Easter eggs with the family and then looked for the hidden Easter eggs the next day. It was really nice to be with a family in a home for the holiday!
On Saturday, I went with them to their English club ministry. It is a fun way to learn conversational English and the Bible at the same. We read and discussed the miracle at Cana in separate groups. We talked about believing and what that means as a follower of Christ. The rest of the time was spent playing group games and singing English worship songs.
On Easter Sunday, there was a special service at their small church. I really like this church because it is small and everybody knows everybody else. After the service, people typically stay after and talk to each other for a long time. Everybody was very friendly and after the service they had a potluck for all to join. Polish food is really good! The Snyders are a really great family and were very hospitable. I had fun while I was there.
On my way back to Lithuania, I stopped at a smaller town to meet up with an LCC group that took a bus to a museum festival. It is an open air museum in a national park with lakes and forests. So, we did a lot of walking! Since it was Easter Monday, everybody had baskets of eggs and played traditional games with the eggs. There was traditional music and dancing. The dances are fun group dances where everybody is hopping in circles or swinging their partners. I rode back with the LCC gang and didn't get back until late last night.

This Thursday, the study abroad group is traveling to Latvia and Estonia for the weekend. Pray for safe travels for this trip as well!
