We Made It!!!!

Hello Friends and Family!

We have arrived!!!!!!!

After 25 hours of air travel, a half hour standing in a church in Krakow waiting for the rain to stop, another half hour waiting for the place we were supposed to have dinner at to clean all the water off the ground of their flooded restaurant from the rain we had just had, to our first polish dinner, to another 2+ hour drive to the camp we are now at...we were all a VERY tired bunch when our heads hit the pillow last night. Even so, due to it being about 4:30 in the afternoon MN time when we went to bed..many of us still struggled to fall asleep. Jet Lag has pulled in full force!

We spent out travel time playing cards, playing hacky sac (many laughs came from that) , trying to find affordable food in airports, reading, knitting, writing, planning, napping and waiting.

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA!!!!!!!!

We are praising God for the smooth travel, for a healthy team, for all of our luggage arriving and in one piece, for calm hearts, for full stomachs and for the blessing of being in the beautiful country of Poland and the anticipation of all he is going to do in and through us in the next couple of weeks!

We are currently staying at a camp that Josiah Venture has recently purchased and begun to remodel called H2O. We will be here through tomorrow morning when we head to Auschwitz and then to Skoczow (where we are putting on the English camp). We spent our morning in training which will continue after dinner tonight. Until then, we have some free time to nap, to play cards, to run, and to hang out with our team.

We appreciate all of your prayers! Things to be praying for in the next few days:
- That rest would be restful!
- That God would be preparing our hearts for next week. Tonight we are going to be having a worship night and individual prayer labrynth experience. Can't wait to hear how God works in the heart of our team members.
-For our time at the concentration camps tomorrow morning.
- For our planning time with the Polish team at the church we are partnering with. That language would not hinder our communication, that relationships would be built and be strong and that the love of Christ would pour out of us to them in every interaction that we have.

Happy Birthday Anna!!!
Happy Anniversary Tom and Amy!!


Thank you all for your prayers and love!
