Making New Friends Through Facebook
What a marvelous thing the internet can be. Before we left the States, I had searched Facebook for anyone who is living in, or originally from Piotrków-Trybunalski, and wrote them a note that our family was going to be moving there and we that we were hoping to make new friends. We had a handful of people write us back saying that they would love to get together with us after we arrive.

Well tonight, our family was able to meet up with one of these Facebook contacts for pizza at Tina’s Pizzeria (our favorite, and close by to our home, the church building). We met with a lovely young couple named Iga and Piotr. They are both originally from Piotrków-Trybunalski, and are in town visiting their parents as they are currently living in Katowice where they go to university. Damian came with us as well. We had a great meal together and got to know each other through discussions around the dinner table. Iga speaks English very well, as does Piotr, so that made it a little easier on us, though we are continuing to hit the Polish language learning hard. Anyway, I just thought it was really neat that we are able to make new friends through Facebook. Our hope is to continue to build this friendship with Iga and Piotr.
