Dzien Dobre!
As usual, the campers are learning English more quickly than the Americans are learning Polish! Today was the first day of English lessons which went smoothly. We all had a lot of fun--especially since we are incorporating an Olympic theme in lessons this year. Today lessons ended with campers being assigned their "Olympic" teams and then participating in a javelin throw. (A.K.A. Pool Noodle Toss) Every day lessons will end with a new "Olympic" challenge and medals will be awarded and tallied.
The campers all added to their wardrobes today as they created their own unique t-shirt using fabric pens, iron-ons, and masking tape. The creative and artistic works the campers come up with from a few simple materials always amazes us.
God strengthens us through devotions every morning. Today was especially meaningful as the following Bible verse was shared by the Polish team during devotions and then again by Jen during the American team's devotions. Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." It is great to see how God has us come together.
Our day ended in warmth, both in worship and around the bonfire. It was a perfect ending to a perfect day.

I am so glad you had a great day. It sounds so inviting and fun. A little different than the normal routine which is so nice to hear.
Keep us posted. The info on the blog went out to the congregation so I know people are looking forward to journeying with you!
God bless-send someone to WArsaw tomorrow. I'm getting on the next flight but don't tell my family. I'm putting a dummy in the kitchen...they'll never know! :)
