Last FoF meeting of 2010-2011 School Year


Coralanne, in her best game-show-host voice, read the next question, “Name five streets in Poznan.”

Amanda snatched the yellow napkin from the center of the table, rapidly naming 3 streets but under pressure of Eirik’s countdown, her brain froze and no more street names could be teased out….   

The question passed to Stephanie.  She named 5 streets, “…and Przybyszewskiego!”  Including the name of the street international students spend weeks (even years) trying to pronounce!  In the end it was a close competition with Stephanie winning by one point.  

Afterwards Stephanie and Amanda were asked what they will miss about living in Poznan.  They will both miss the pedestrian culture-being able to walk to a vegetable stand five minutes from their door, or stop by Biedronka and get picnic food. They might even miss public transportation. But of course, more than anything else, they will miss the people (That means you!!).

When asked what will be their next steps, they both paused.  Amanda will travel a bit in the summer, complete her last semester at university and then….  Stephanie will return to the US and then….  Let’s be praying for these gals to hear God’s voice for next steps. 
 
Last Tuesday we celebrated Amanda and Stephanie’s time working with FoF over the last year.  They served us in many ways and will be greatly missed. 

This also was the last meeting of FoF.  It has been a great year!  Stay tuned, Jason talked about maybe hosting a meeting once in a while during the summer.  If not, we’ll catch up with you again in the fall!!!!!
