“Don’t be like Bob Dylan, be like Peter”…yup, sums up the
entire day. See you for tomorrows blog!.....Not really. But that was one of the
funniest moments of the day. More on that later.
Day started off like any other day this week: eggs
(hardboiled cut in half and/or scrambled), bread with strawberry jam, and
juice, completed with a healthy side of morning devotions and bible reading.
After that, we started the long march to the school. Grandpa (Carl) told us
that there were fish in the river, and so we (or maybe just I) spent the whole
time looking for them. Talk about fun!! All in all a great morning.
Then we got to the school, ready for the second to last day
of camp. I think the day went great. Started off with the camp dance, which is
more fun every time we do it. Benito then led a game of “Would You Rather”, as
in, “Would you rather like a homeless man’s armpit, or chew on his toenail?”
Many laughs were shared. Class was next. Ellie and I (Zach) decided our class
wasn’t liking what we were teaching them, so we taught them how to play the
classic game of Heads-Up-Seven-Up. That was great. They caught on quick and it
was fun; a great way to spend class time. J
Lunch was GREAT!!!!! Fish and potatoes. Mmmmmm. Enough said
about that.
The game for the day was kickball. Some of the Poles had
fun, but I got the feeling that most didn’t. Not because it wasn’t fun, but
because they didn’t understand it. But ya, it was fun. My team, the Pink
Panthers, went 0-3-1. Disappointing, but it was still worth it J
Then came the Evening Program, highlighted by another
flawless message from our fearless leader, Mama Abbi the Rabbi. But then she
went back to the hotel because she doesn’t feel good (please be in prayer for
her). Following the Evening program was the BEST THEME NIGHT
EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was awesome. The night was Hawaiian (oh boy). I was decked out in my dad’s
awful Hawaiian shirt my mom let me borrow (sorry dad if you were looking for
it, it’s in Poland), a grass skirt, and very many leis. We played limbo, and
the tallest kid, Adrian, ended up winning. Talk about impressive. Then came the
highlight of the night: Chief Ungabunga!!!!! For those of you in the Youth
Group, you know what I’m talking about. Big Benito was dressed up in his finest
Hawaiian attire, including a grass skirt on his head. I was his guard, and the
hardest part for me was trying to keep a straight face, which I failed at.
You’ll have to see the video when we get back. It was hilarious…ahhh.
Now most of us (Ben is sleeping) are sitting on the couches
talking in the hotel. We are all excited for the last day of camp, but I think
we’d all agree that the week flew by. Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts
throughout the time we’ve been here, and I ask that you would continue praying
for God’s work here and for the kids here at camp. Please pray that kids would
leave camp changed for life, and not just for three weeks after camp is over.
Please also be in prayer for the Polish Youth Group here, as even once we leave
they will still be here doing God’s work. Just pray for encouragement for them
as we leave and that they wouldn’t feel like they aren’t making a difference,
because they truly are. Please also be in prayer for the health of our team.
Grandpa Carlos just got rid of his cold, and Abby just picked it up. Just pray
that she could recover quickly.
Thank you again for all of your support, and thank you for
lending this team your family members for these two weeks. Now to the One who
is the Alpha, Omega, the Beginning and the End, Wonderful Counselor and
Almighty God, Amen.
