My Family!

Yay! My whole family came all the way to Slovakia to visit me for a week! I have the greatest family that they would all fly across the ocean to come visit. Although, my mom and brothers and sister-in-law love Slovakia as much as I do, so it wasn't too big a sacrifice. My dad is a different story, though. He just loves me :-)
I didn't have any huge plans for the family while they were here- they just joined in my regular life and ministry. I took them to my church, my mom went to the dorms one day with me, Katie joined me on a few appointments, and they all went to Bible study and English club with me. They also got to meet Petra, Mala Danka, and a few other fun friends of mine.
The older I get, the more I realize what a blessing my family is. I love them, of course, but I also just really enjoy being with them. They should have just stayed and finished out the year here :-) Really, it was such an encouraging week.
