This morning found all of us with lifted spirits due to the late arrival of our luggage last night.  It is amazing how something as simple as clean clothes can bring joy to a group.  Even though we were quite literally stripped from our clothes, we continued to keep our focus over the last few days and put our complete trust in God that things would turn out. 

After a very powerful day yesterday at Aushwitz and Birkenau, Today was a day focused on planning, and final preparation for camp beginning tomorrow.  We worked alongside the Polish team and together we ran through and laid out the itinerary of what each day is going to look like.  Once we completed this task, we all went to the school and set up each of our 5 different classrooms and general meeting spaces for camp. 

This evening we spent some quality time around a bonfire sharing a meal and enjoying great fellowship with our fellow Team members.  The team unity is really getting stronger with each moment that we spend together.  Every member, whether they are Polish, or American all are given a specific role in camp and each member is truly appreciated and needed.  I feel truly blessed to be surrounded by so many Godly individuals and be a part of this wonderful team.

We are all very excited about what the next 8 days are going to hold for us.  Alongside the excitement is a little bit of nerves as we truly don’t know quite yet on what sort of big plans God has in store for us.  Whatever it may be, we are ready for whatever comes our way.  God is good…All the time!
