Report #2 22nd Oct.
Well had a good sleep and as Daniel had gone to school already, two other
brothers came and shared breakfast, before taking me out for the morning. The
older brother was Dusan, who did not
speak English, but the other brother Boris, was to be my interpreter for the
day. Boris is married with a 4 year old daughter and a month old baby as well.
They had planned to give a little tour of the very pretty countryside and
a visit to the oldest and most lovely castle in Slovakia in the town of
Bojnice. Dusan took his wife to his home to prepare lunch while Boris and I
took the guided tour of the most beautiful castle in Bijnice.
The tour was over
an hour and visited the multitude of rooms and climbed the 182 stairs gradually
until we were at the top of the turret.
Then made our way back to go down another 50 or so stairs to the caves under
the castle. Talk about being worn out when we finished?
I really needed the
latte I got at the outdoor cafe. We were picked up and taken to Dusan’s
home for soup and salad and a couple of hours sleep, that was VERY welcome. We
then headed to the meeting hall in Prievidza for a meeting at 5 oclock. 3
small assemblies of about 35-40 adults came together for the meeting. I think they appreciated what I shared
about Witnessing and the need for us to be a witness for Christ.
Then home again to Daniel’s home and a supper of cooked lamb and potatoes
and dessert. So another interesting day, but a busy day expected at school tomorrow.
