The last day of camp is always a surreal feeling- what just
happened? It tends to be a whirlwind of a week that’s for sure.
The adults just finished a great dinner together at a local
restaurant. I’m taking over blog duty for the day as the students are doing “homestays”
this evening. In pairs, they get the opportunity to stay at the home of one of
the youth group students. It is always a memorable part of the trip.
The leaders get a chance to rest and to decompress a bit
from the day and week.
Our last day of camp was a great one! The polish students
now had their chance to teach their American English teachers a thing or two.
Their first session of the day which is usually spent learning English, was
spent preparing Polish lessons to teach their teachers. The second session of
the day was spent trying to get the Americans to make sounds with their mouths
that we struggle with, to learn songs or to count. The polish students loved
it! The Americans were humbled.
We topped off the day with a game of soccer- the Americans
and some of the polish leaders playing against the campers. It was a well
fought match and I think those who played enjoyed themselves.
Tomorrow we will get the chance once again to worship
alongside our polish friends at their church. We invited the campers to join us
for the service so we are excited to see who comes! We will then spend the
afternoon talking about how camp went and celebrating the friendships that we
have with the polish half of our team- the youth group here in Skoczow.
Please continue to be in prayer for us in the next few days.
Pray that when the campers from camp remember us Americans, that they would
what they saw and learned about Jesus this week. We ask also for prayer for our
last moments with our friends here, that goodbyes would be full of sweet
moments, and for travel as we leave this place to head back to you.
I can’t tell you enough how much I truly love this place and
how much the people here mean to me. I’m so grateful for yet another chance to
have been here and served alongside my friends- and with this team from
Timberwood that God orchestrated so perfectly for all that happened this week.
I hope to write more for you all to hear when we get back,
but this is all for now.
Love to you and thank you so much for being a part of this
with us!
