Plotting and Scheming

Greetings from Gdansk!  Matt, Bob and I made it very safely to Gdansk today!  Thanks you to all who have included us in your prayers!  We arrived in Gdansk in the early afternoon after a couple of hours in Oslo.  Stasiek was waiting on us with a giant smile as we walked out of the baggage area.  We spent the day assessing the structure and lining up the tasks for the next week.  The precious people that are trying to make a church home were very excited to see us and spent the afternoon telling us about the history of the building and the local community.  It was; however, an exercize in East- West relations!  Matt and Bob did a great job of walking through the items that are needed to make the structure suitable for worship.  We have a lot of work to do!  We have the makings of a plan and spent some of our evening at the local hardware store acquiring provisions for the tasks ahead.  I was also able to capture a lot of before pictures and of Matt and Bob in supervisor mode (Now I know I won't let anyone else have the camera!).  The building is adjacent to a park where the local kids play and there are many community housing structures.  It appears to be a good location for a church.  Now we just have to make this structure habitable.  The weather was a little chilly compared to Memphis with showers off and on during the afternoon and mostly 50's and 60's for the temps.  The Lord showed us his own approval by giving us a beautiful rainbow later this afternoon.  See the pictures below of our first day!
