The Armenians are coming!

Well, they actually were already here. A choir from Armenia came to Poland to take part in a church choir competition. They were awesome and actually took 2nd place out of about 15 choirs from all over Europe. After their competition, they had made contact with our church earlier and came to Katowice for a concert for a coop of churches. It was awesome. They really were talented.

There were about 24 in the group and 14 of the ladies ended up staying in our "garage." It was quite interesting trying to talk with them as they only spoke Russian and Armenian! They were here for two nights and at 3:30 am the second night, a few came running to our house banging on the door. One of the ladies had fallen down a few stairs while she was going to the bathroom. It ended up that she broke her leg very badly and we had to call the ambulance. After deciding that she would need surgery and to stay in Poland for a few extra days, the entire group ended up staying in our "garage" that night. (They were to leave the day she broke her leg but plans needed to change...) So, that night we had a concert around the campfire.

Enjoy!
