We are almost at the end of our first week with these Polish campers and I'm so glad that we have another week to go! Most of the experiences/vacations/missions trips I've known are one week opportunities and I'm always astounded at how relationships are established. So the blessing of having another week is fantastic. I love these people! Hopefully my group is learning some English, but I KNOW they're having fun. Tomorrow, each volunteer is presenting a "state report" (Charlie will represent So Cal . . . we'll be sure to "booo" if he mentions that baseball team, I'll discuss northern California, Jane will talk about the life of a high school senior and college entrance, Chase is going to talk about sports, and Mary will talk about a typical school day for her.)
After our English sessions we will get on a train for Krakow and make the difficult visit to Auschwitz. So many cities in Poland have been destroyed in various wars that Krakow remains a treasure that retains much of its original architecture. So, we won't write for a few days . . . have a great weekend! Thank you to those of you who send an occasional comment or e-mail. We all get so excited to receive any news from home (or Australia or Lichtenstein or... :) and we're grateful that any of you take time to check our blog.
