Our last day in Skoczow has been wonderful so far.
This morning we had a church service in the community center. We had another wonderful time of mixed polish and english worship as well as a morning celebrating all that God did at the camp this past week. Eric spoke about love out of 1 John and tied it incompletely to everything that happened this past week. Bernice also was able to share about this trip has impacted her as well as our team. We were able to express our love and thanks for the church and all of their support. The whole morning got me so excited to come back and share all of this with all of you. The tears that I shed this morning were because of the joy that it will bring me to help you be a part of the joy that we have experienced here.
For lunch we were able to enjoy some pizza from a local pizza place. They wanted us to feel like "home." I guess they think that broccoli and corn are normal pizza toppings for us? Even though it was different, it was incredible.
The last two days have seemed like one long goodbye. There were all the campers we said goodbye to yesterday but then a bunch were still going to be at church this morning so we didn't say goodbye to them until after church. And then another group that came to eat lunch with us who we then said goodbye to and a whole other group that we will be saying goodbye to after dinner tonight. We are going a few towns away for dinner to an authentic polish restaurant. We are very much looking forward to spending our last evening in fellowship with our new friends.
For now, we have a few hours of free time. For some this means a nap, for others of us (the younger crowd) it is a time of cards and scrabble. We had planned to get one last walk through the town but it seems that the rain just won't stop. We are all ok with just resting inside.
An evening here, a day in Krakow and a day of traveling till we are home. Please pray for continued unity amongst our team even as we are tired and especially our day of travel when I know we will just be ready to be home.
Please also be in prayer for the church here in Skoczow.
I can't speak for everyone on our team, but I can say for myself...a piece of my heart will be left here when we leave...
Love to you all
