Training day

Ahhh.... Day two in Poland. A day full of relaxation, sightseeing, food, and games; right? Wrong! Though it has been a great day. Today started off with breakfast at around 7:30 here at the hotel: eggs, sausage, cereal, yogurt, bread, orange juice, and not to mention some of the BEST apple juice I've ever had. Breakfast was delicious but it was only the beginning...

From breakfast we went to our first meeting with the Josiah Venture team along with the two other churches here from Colorado. We pretty much learned what to expect from the Polish people and learned about their culture and main religious beliefs. Now THAT was interesting. Chris and Kelly (they are the top dogs here) decided that instead of telling us what the Poles believe about faith, they made us go out and ask people...like in person. Although scary at first, it turned out to be quite eye opening. It turns out that most poles would say they faith his a huge part of their culture and history but they don't really care about it or have ever heard that a relationship with God is possible. 

Next was lunch (AMAZING) followed by free time!!!! On the menu for lunch was kababs, either garlic or spicy. These are pretty much chicken wraps, but much better. So that was fun. For free time our team went to the castle, Benito (Ben) and Carlos (Carl) decided that the wanted to we the "Dragon Den" so they went down to it. However, we didn't know that the sign read "one way exit", so we spent a good bit of time waiting for them. I think it's safe to say that until we found them we thought they had been eaten by dragons, or at least Carl was. Ben would have been safe. Then next was the mall. It was huge, and it even has a Starbucks. (Yay!!)

We had dinner and then went to the training session to end the day. Not only did we learn a lot more stuff and praise God, but we learned the camp dance. Ellie (Erholtz) and I are pros now, just saying.

Dziekuje Bardzo (thank you very much) for your prayers!!! We appreciate every one of them. Please continue praying for the saty of the ram and of the campers we will meet. Also please pray that God will open the eyes of our heart to Him, and that we will be able to have a lasting impact on everyone we meet!!! God Bless!!!!
