We Made It!

From the voice and heart of Ellie Erholtz::

Minneapolis to Chicago, Chicago to Munich, Munich to Krakow...After roughly 11 hours in the air (and many more in the airport) we made it safe, sound and efficiently. There were many opportunities for things to go wrong, so we feel very blessed that God had his mighty hand in every situation.

We were greeted, at our hotel, by the Josiah Venture interns and staff. After that we went around the square here in Krakow. Walking the streets of Krakow is truly like looking back in time. Beautiful buildings, cathedrals, and shops were just some of the amazing things we got to experience our first night here. We had dinner with the other two teams running camps in Poland this summer. After that we tried 'lody' (icecream) and retired to our rooms for the night. We are looking forward to training tomorrow!

Prayers would be greatly appreciated! You could pray for: our jetlag and sleeping patterns, the teens going to our camp- that they would be ready to experience and grow in Christ, the Josiah Venture staff= that they could lead and prepare us for the ocming week, Abby- that all the planning is executed smoothly and that she is able to have fun and still be our fearless leader, the team- that our only concern would be listening to God's direction and to be willing, at all costs, to follow that direction.

Thanks for all your support! We wouldn't be here without you all!
