THE BALL

Funny how the Father goes about building relationships. Here we are in another culture, ostensibly to teach English, and we do that. But in the process relationship happens--because conversation, awkward as it may be, can begin friendship. Barriers fade, connection happens, and the next thing we know, the student says, "Um, Brenda. Ball--University. Friday. You and Larry--come, please?"

One week later, after frenetic hunts for formal duds, including gold slippers (and a beautiful corsage from my handsome prince!), come we did, to an evening of 400+ gorgeously attired dancers swirling, shimmying, and twirling away the evening. Only after we arrived did we learn that Brenda's two students (Instructors at the University of Zilina) who had invited us were the two planners/coordinators of this gala affair!

Please pray that relationship leads to Relationship!
