Gdansk is now introduced to Memphis BBQ and they approve!

Gdansk samples Bob's BBQ.

The tools are put away, the bags are packed and the BBQ has been served.  God was gracious in introducing us to Godly Polish people and gave us the opportunity to serve His kingdom in a very small way.  And it was all good.  Poland is a beautiful country with a wealth of history and loving people who served us as we were trying to serve them. Several parishioners made a point to make sure we thanked our spouses for allowing us to come and serve them. It reminded us what great wives we have and how blessed we are.  We acquired three pork shoulders and made a makeshift BBQ pit. Bob, Reid, Kyle and Sam stayed up all night and fed the fire (and made sure the locals didn't take them off early).  We smuggled into Gdansk, BBQ sauce and rub from our famous BBQ establishments and demonstrated how pork should be prepared Memphis style.  There must be a genetic issue with polish hogs, because the pulled pork from 3 shoulders didn't make it to all comers.  I think they are pygmy pigs, but they were of normal size.  Of course Garrett will claim his cooking stole the show, but I stand by my pygmy theory.  We all had a grand time and dread getting up at 3:15 to catch our flight home.  Thanks to all who prayed for us on this trip and supported us.  We should pray as a congregation for this small church in Poland.  These are precious people and are very thankful for your prayers and support..
