Hello Doug!
I am going to write you some things about my personal life.
At first, I am going to write you about my parish and my job. My parish—it is not my parish exactly. It is a parish of my boss—the pastor who is elected here as a pastor. I am only a chaplain ( we call it this way) - it is something like a helping pastor. The pastor is the only one who is responsible for the parish, not me. I, as a chaplain just have to do the work he asks me to do. I will do chaplain for at least two years and then I can go to pastor’s exam and after I will pass it I am going to be a pastor—somewhere. For now, I am the chaplain. I am in the town of Galanta. It is not a big town, in southern Slovakia and more than half the people living here are Hungarian. I do not speak their language, but since we still are in Slovakia, I do not have any problems ( but it is not so sure that people in southern Slovakia would talk in Slovak with you ). The parish is not the only in town, but also in a couple of villages nearby. We have around 1,500 members. There are services each Sunday, (3-4). So my work—I preach (almost each Sunday and sometimes on Monday as well—there is a service in the house for retirees twice a month), I do the Holy Supper stuff (almost each Sunday), I teach (7 hours a week; we in Slovakia have to teach religion in elementary and high schools), I teach children some Bible stories (twice a week, this is not in school, but in the parish house), I teach adults– Bible study (once a week) and then I am a member of youth choir, we have rehearsals twice a week. That is pretty much it. And above this, there is some bureau work for me, but the pastor does almost all of it in the parish.
About my husband, he works as a orderly in this time, although he would love to do something else. He would love to drive, it is his great pleasure—to drive either an ambulance or fire truck. But right now, there are not good opportunities for either. I think he is kind of happy there because of good colleagues but he would like to do something else. We are happy together and enjoying every moment we are together. We love each other and are hoping that it will last for a long, long time. Of course, there were some changes in our lives after the wedding, but that is normal. We do have some problems—just little ones—but we are patient to one another and trying to do the best.
I am looking forward to an email from you.
Have a nice day,
Eka ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) |
