We are the ‘U. S., Seven builders of 2016’ – Joe & Joann Lunders, Earl Brunberg, Bud Helmen, Linda Thueson, Mary Lee Waldman and Bob Jandeska just arriving in Martin, Slovakia.

We had a great trip over without any glitches and absolutely no turbulence on our flights. It could not have been a better trip. We met our 7th partner, Bob Jandeska from Chicago when we landed in Kraków and then just as planned, were met by Tomas from Martin who piloted us in his large van to Martin. The trip from Krakow was absolutely beautiful with trees and grass fully green and many, many fruit trees with beautiful white blooms! We are thankful to God for such a glorious trip!

We were all very tired but hopefully all had a restful sleep when we retired at 10 PM Martin time last night!

This morning we will be met at breakfast by Bohdan, the Director of (CCE), Center for Christian education who will welcome us and give us an orientation followed by work time this afternoon and a welcome dinner this evening.

We are very excited about this mission and so very thankful to God for a safe trip!

We send love to all of our family and friends at home who are supporting us with love and prayers!

Love and Peace,
Joann Lunders and all of the U.S. Seven builders
