Just a quick message to tell you that our furlough was postponed -- it is still going to happen, but not in the spring, probably in the fall.
The plan is still for our furlough to be about 6 weeks during which we will visit churches in East Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula. So those of you who contacted us to come to your church in the spring, we will still be tentatively planning to come to your church whenever our furlough happens.
On the one hand it is disappointing that we will not be with many of you this spring. On the other hand, we are really excited to spend the rest of the school year in Lviv without any big trips planned. Since there is no one to work with the youth when we are gone, it is always really hard for us to leave. So not being gone a lot this spring is one thing we are really looking forward to.
We will send our January prayer update later this month, we just wanted you to know that our furlough plans changed unexpectedly and we will not be coming to the States this spring.
Blessings,
Tomasz, Miriam and Hannah Chmiel
