Elisa! Bojnice, Slovakia

We arrived in Bojnice and went to lunch.
Dad, Mom and Tillie love Slovak pizza!


We stayed with Mrs. Ludka, Mr. Jiri and their family at their house. They are like second family to me. I miss them now. They got a pretty little bed for me to sleep in and held me and kissed me all day long!

Mrs. Elza arranged for us to meet
with the kids that Dad, Mom and
Tillie see at the camps.
I wore my very first baseball cap
to meet them that first time.
It was nice to finally meet the people
that Dad and Mom love so much.


All these kids are like brothers and sisters to me. And the best part about having so many is that I get held, hugged and kissed a lot! And I have people who will play with me! Veronika, Monika and Janka all played with me and then they prayed with me. There were prayers prayed in English and in Slovak. I love that they love Jesus too!

I was sad when we had to leave.
We took a few last pictures and then waved goodbye.
Mr. Jiri stood in the driveway to make sure we got out OK.

Sometimes, at home in my own
bed, I dream of my family in
Slovakia and remember...
Mimka and Tina singing to me
when I was sick, Milan and Zelka
staying so late at night, Roman
visiting from far away, Veronika
holding me, seeing everyone
for the first time, and so many
other wonderful memories.

Then I thank God for them and
pray that I see them again soon.
