A 12 foot Pope!

So, last Sunday me, Scott, and Andy went to a birthday party for our good friend Jurek (Yur-ek). His wife Maciejka (Ma-chea-ka) invited lots of friends from church over. We had such a great time! This picture shows Jurek sporting his daughter's lovely hat. ;) This picture is of me & Jurek's wife Maciejka. She is wonderful! :) And, here are friends Bogusia, Beata, and Gosia. Sweet, sweet ladies. :) Okay...so, on to the Pope. Jurek is an INCREDIBLE sculptor. He is commissioned by cities in Poland to make sculptures to put around the city. He has done several that are here in Wroclaw. Currently, Jurek is working on a statue of Pope John Paul II. It is absolutely amazing. AND MASSIVE! The detail in it is incredible, the resemblance in the statues of pictures of the Pope are unbelievable. This man is so talented. Anyway, here is a picture of us with the Pope. :)

Here's some video of so you can here a little Polish and see some of our friends. :)

Here's a little of us playing "Charades" (well...a mix of Charades & Pictionary) This is Maciejka trying to get her team to guess the word "Bi-Polar" (or the Polish equivalent). I love these people. :)

An update on our Chocolate Cafe will be coming soon! It was GREAT!!! :)
